According to film monitors ScreenDaily, Casino Royale has become the highest-grossing James Bond film ever.
The Daniel Craig flick has impressed both audiences and critics despite initial concern over the choice of lead character with its box office collection exceeded the $300-million mark in overseas ticket sales, becoming the fourth film of the year to surpass that limit.
According to ScreenDaily, the film is now being shown on 6,330 screens in 64 countries and has added $19.4 million (£9.9 million) during the four days over Christmas .
Casino Royale has become the most successful James Bond film of all time at the box office shooting past the previous record-holder Die Another Day.
It's only the fourth movie this year to surpass the $300 million mark overseas after Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest, The Da Vinci Code and Ice Age: The Meltdown.
Meanwhile, in the UK, animated festive flick Happy Feet continues to ride high at the box office, staying on top of the pile for the third successive week.
The film, which features the voice of Elijah Wood as the star penguin, took $4 million (£2 million) last weekend to bring its total takings to $20.7 million (£10.5 million) since its release.
New releases Eragon and Deja vu came in at fourth and fifth respectively, below second-placed The Holiday, starring Kate Winslet and Cameron Diaz and Casino Royale itself.
