Seizing the No. 1 box office spot offshore for the third consecutive round, Skyfall – with a weekend tally of $89 million from 12,850 locations in 80 markets – is now poised to become the biggest-grossing James Bond title ever released on the foreign theatrical circuit, The Hollywood Reporter said.

Since its overseas opening on Oct. 26, the third Bond outing starring Daniel Craig as 007 has collected $428.6 million, just $3.6 million shy of the $432.2 total foreign gross of the existing franchise record holder, 2006’s Casino Royale, also starring Craig.

Skyfall is expected to overtake Casino Royale, said Sony, which has collected $367.4 million of the total overseas take while co-distributor MGM has taken in $61.2 via various licensees.

Weekend action was dominated by the U.K. which contributed $18.2 million from 1,786 sites in Skyfall’s third round there, pushing the film’s market cume to $117.5 million and making it the fourth largest-grossing title ever in the U.K.

In Germany, the second round tally was $15.1 million at 1,338 situations for a market total of $44 million. France came up with $8.2 million in the third stanza at 825 sites, for a market cume of $42.5 million.

The 22 previous Bond titles dating from the first, 1962’s Dr. No (which generated $43.4 million overseas) to 2008’s Quantum of Solace ($407.7 million), have tallied total foreign revenues of $3.277 billion.
