Sean Connery may have been voted by fans as the all time favorite James Bond, but blondie Daniel Craig is breaking all US box office records with his incarnation of the 007 British Agent. Craig’s film “Quantum of Solace” opened on Friday and went on to score a $70.4 million weekend.

The leaner, blonder, more brooding Bond as played by Craig has proven to be a hit with the fans, despite early predictions that the actor would “ruin” the Bond brand. Looks now like he revived the tired franchise and gave it new life.
