Casino Royale premiered at the Odeon Leicester Square on 14 November 2006, and
was theatrically released first in the United Kingdom on 16 November, and in the
United States a day later. The film received critical acclaim, with praise for
Craig’s reinvention of the character and its departure from the tropes of
previous Bond films. It grossed over $616 million worldwide, becoming the fourth
highest-grossing film of 2006 and the highest-grossing James Bond film until the
release of Skyfall (2012). The sequel, Quantum of Solace, was released in 2008.
