Sony/MGM's Casino Royale has become the fourth movie of the year to pass the $300-million mark in overseas ticket sales. According to Daily Variety, the film took in an additional $14.5 million over the weekend, bringing its total foreign gross to $304.4 million, thereby joining Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest, The Da Vinci Code and Ice Age: The Meltdown as members of the $300-million club. With its North American gross of about $144 million, Casino can now claim a worldwide total of $448 million, making it the highest earner of any James Bond movie in history.
