Skyfall has also surpassed the James Bond box office record held by Casino Royale, which achieved a £55.6 million gross in 2006.
007 series producers Michael G Wilson and Barbara Broccoli said of the achievement: "We are thrilled and proud to reach this box office landmark in record time and are delighted that UK audiences continue to enjoy Skyfall."
Skyfall is currently sitting at the top of the UK box office chart and will debut across the US tomorrow (November 9).
