    by Anne Thompson on December 5, 2012

    "Skyfall" is now the UK's biggest film in history, eclipsing "Avatar"'s £94 million with £94.27 million in 40 days (particularly staggering given James Cameron's sci-fi blockbuster got to that haul after 11 months, and with increased 3-D ticket prices).

    by Tom Brueggemann on November 25, 2012

    The post-Thanksgiving weekend soared this year, but not via the usual family films.
