Casino Royale has smashed a Bond box office record, taking more in its first day of release than any previous 007 film, says Columbia Pictures.
   The film, which features Daniel Craig’s first outing as the super-spy, sold £1.7m of tickets in the UK on Thursday. The figure is more than twice as much as the previous record-holder, 2002’s Die Another Day, took in its first day. Casino Royale has also been approved by China’s censors, and will be the first 007 film to be screened in the country.
   Authorities have previously disapproved of the violent and sexual content of the film franchise, reported film industry magazine Variety.
   The film is expected to hit China’s cinemas in January 2007.
   Casino Royale is the 21st Bond film, and early reviews have praised Craig’s gritty and complex performance in the lead role.
   The movie is an adaptation of Ian Fleming’s first Bond novel and is one of the few without gadget-maker Q or much-loved secretary Miss Moneypenny.
   It opens in 27 countries, including the US and Russia, this weekend.
