|
Quantum of

history for a second time this weekend as it opened to an
incredible £15.4 million, at the UK box office making it the
biggest weekend opening of all time. This smashes the previous
record held by Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2005),
which took £14.93 million. |
|
![Quantum of Solace co-producers Michael G. Wilson & Barbara Broccoli](qos_record_01.jpg) |
Quantum of
Solace, the latest instalment from the longest running
franchise in film history, becomes the most successful opening
of any Bond film ever as it has also beaten the opening
weekend figure for the last Bond movie, Casino Royale,
which took £11.4m on its opening 3-day weekend.
Quantum of Solace opened in 540 cinemas in the UK and
Ireland on Friday 31st October and made box office history on
its opening day in the UK, taking a staggering £4.94m and
making it the biggest Friday opening of all time. It will
release in the US on November 14th.
Producers Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli said, “We are
absolutely delighted that Quantum of Solace has broken
box office records in the UK and would like to thank the
British public for going to the cinema in such incredible
numbers to see James Bond in his 22nd adventure.” |

Produced for
EON Productions by Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli,
Quantum of Solace is directed by Marc Forster and stars
Daniel Craig as the legendary secret agent, James Bond. With a
screenplay by Neal Purvis & Robert Wade and Oscar®
winner Paul Haggis, the film picks up the storyline just one
hour after the end of Casino Royale, marking the first
direct sequel produced by EON Productions. |

Quantum of Solace classified by the BBFC & running time
confirmed |
|
![Jesper Christensen (Mr White) and Daniel Craig (James Bond) in Quantum of Solace](qos_bbfc.jpg) |
Quantum of
Solace has been classified as certificate '12A' in the UK with a
running time of 105m 58s, making it the shortest James Bond film to
date. In reality the end credits will probably account for five minutes
of running time making the actual feature close to 100 minutes in
length.
The film was
originally seen by the BBFC in an unfinished version, for advice as
to the film's suitability at ‘12A’. The BBFC advised that the film
would most likely receive a ‘12A’ as it was, but that care should be
taken when finishing the film not to increase the intensity of
certain scenes. When the completed version of the film was submitted
for classification, reductions to one of those scenes had been made
and the film was passed ‘12A’ without cuts. It remains to be seen if
the US or other territories will see the same version as the UK. |
