After taking in $4.10-million this weekend, THE WORLD IS NOT ENOUGH has now reached a cumulative domestic gross of $105.35-million, making it the third highest grossing film in the James Bond series, behind GOLDENEYE and TOMORROW NEVER DIES. (Keep in mind, of course, that tickets cost a lot less when THUNDERBALL was released.)
