The Latest James Bond Flick “Quantum Of Solace” opened at the the top of Box Office across North America, garnering more than 70 million US Dollars over a three day period, a record for the popular 007 series.

The 22nd Bond film had the highest gross opening for a James Bond Movie ever in the United States and Canada with 73% more share than the last flick “Casino Royale“. The good opening at the Box Office also meant that the movie now earns $ 250 million worldwide in the last two weeks for the Sony – MGM jointly produced movie.

Forget the fanboys and their comic-book movies, it’s time to hail a long-neglected fan base-the mature women who kept “Mamma Mia!” on top in the international market for the fifth week in a row.

One woman in Germany is reported to have seen the ABBA-inspired musical romance more than 70 times.

Thanks to a top-of-the-market bow in Italy (2.6 million U.S. dollars) and strong holdovers, “Mamma Mia!” pulled in 13.6 million dollars over the weekend from 44 territories, lifting its foreign gross to 377 million dollars. After 13 weeks in Britain, it ranks at No. 4 and has reached a market gross of 123.2 million dollars.

The Ben Stiller comedy “Tropic Thunder,” pulled in 5.1 million dollars from 31 markets to lift its total to 49.2 million dollars.

Disney launched its talking-dogs comedy “Beverly Hills Chihuahua” in five overseas markets day-and-date with its No. 1 domestic debut, taking in 5.1 million dollars led by top-ranked bows in Australia (2.6 million dollars) and Mexico (2 million dollars).

New domestic dud “How to Lose Friends and Alienate People” grabbed the No. 1 spot in the UK with 2 million dollars. The Holocaust drama “The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas” led Spain for a second weekend with a 10-day take of 6.5 million dollars.

In Japan, the local film “Suspect X,” the big-screen spin-off of Fuji TV’s detective drama “Galileo,” opened at No. 1 to an impressive 5.2 million dollars.

In France, Laurent Cantet’s Palme D’Or winner “The Class” held on to first place for a second weekend for a two-week take of 6.1 million dollars.

The Dark Knight has become only second movie in the Box Office History to cross that magic figure of $500 million. It became the second film to gather that much of amount at the box office. Now Titanic is the only film which is ahead of The Dark Knight with  $600,788,188 in all time collections.

During the past weekend Ben Stiller starrer Tropic Thunder again emerged as a winner for the third consecutive week earning $14.3 million and Babylon A.D. is lagging behind at the second with top earnings of $12 million, while The Dark Knight stays at the third spot with $11.2 million.
