James Bond has managed to outdo even himself this time. "Skyfall," the 23rd 007 adventure, has joined the exclusive club of films that have topped the $1 billion mark at the box office.

The movie has grossed $289.6 million in domestically and $701.6 million internationally as the numbers continue to climb, pushing over the $1 billion mark, Sony and MGM announced today.

The film was directed by Sam Mendes and was the third in the series to star Daniel Craig as Bond. Judi Dench, Javier Bardem and Ralph Fiennes also star in the movie.

"Skyfall" is the 14th movie in history to break the billion-dollar ceiling and the third this year, following Disney and Marvel's "The Avengers" and Warner Bros.' "The Dark Knight Rises."
