Yep it does make it the highest grossing Bond film of all time, along with the highest ever grossing UK film of all time & first film to take £100M at the UK Box Office.
Think only Thunderball is ahead adjusted for inflation
I just wonder if it will be a classic, I'm just watching it with my missus (she hadn't seen it yet) and I have to be honest the end bit has begun to drag already for me.
I don't even understand the point of counting and comparing without considering inflation, though. By today's standards that number means it is a high success, but listing films on a chart of "All-time" without inflation adjustments seems pointless.
All movies should count ticket sales or inflation numbers instead, when talking about how they rank against all other movie releases, right? The Dark Knight and Titanic aren't as wildly successfully if those fair adjustments are made.
Regarding all time worldwide adjusted inflation gross. According to Guinness World Records, these are the top ten highest grossing films adjusted for inflation up to and including 2011.
1. Gone with the Wind $3.3 billion dollars
2. Avatar $2.78 billion
3. Star Wars $2.71 billion
4. Titanic $2.41 billion
5. The Sound of Music $2.26 billion
6. E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial $2.21 billion
7. The Ten Commandments $2.09 billion
8. Doctor Zhivago $1.98 billion
9. Jaws $1.94 billion
10. Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs $1.74 billion

this will definitely secure him a hefty pay raise for 24&25.

That is fantastic! Monetary indicators are one of the most tangible and universal measurements of success. To me, this immediately spells out a guarantee for the series' future and more merchandizing (that lack of which up to the early 90's provided me much frustration). What's curious though, is how when compared to the Bondmania of the mid-60's, we don't really see Bond stuff being socially proliferated ad nauseam as it seemed to have been done then. What is the same, though, is the countless number of incarnations of Bond immitators, of course taking its earliest roots from that time (the totality of the Bond mythos). But are there any telltale signs pointing to the series' reboot? Should we expect to see kiddies carrying contemporary Bond lunchboxes and backpacks, and Bond masks and costume sets during Halloween? Sure, there's a market niche of guys who want to be like Bond, and women who want to date guys like Bond, but not really on a wider scale like when Bond gave the Beatles a run for their money. Or maybe because of the explosion of media property, it's possible today to see Bond movie consumption move into the Billion$ territory, yet remain an interest niche which is okay with me.

According to recent reports in the media, Daniel Craig will be paid a total just over £31 million pounds for Bond's 24 & 25, compared to Casino Royale £1.9 million, Quantum of Solace £4.4 million, and Skyfall £10.7 million.

That sounds very good for him. I wonder how much that will affect his other roles outside of Bond.
Vindication for us die hard fans who have stuck with the series through thick and thin. When my friends were getting into Spider Man, Bourne etc. and telling me Bond was old hat and had had its day I can now give them a well known sign and tell them to 'perch and swivell'.

Decent effort it has to be said! {[]

Regardless it will overtake The Dark Knight and who the hell would have bet on that!!!
Edit: hmm maybe not just seen two diff figures for Dark Knight Rises, wiki puts it at 1 billion, eighty million

Anyways, congrats to SkyFall.
Think I saw one the other day with Star Wars at number 2
Well done to all those (cast and crew, writers etc.) who brought us Skyfall - very well deserved!
You've certainly done us proud as James Bond fans!

How much did Dr. Evil demand in Austin Powers-he had to adjust for inflation!
I think he started at 1 Million pounds and then upped it to 100 Million.

another movie or so it should be good
