As Bond and Patrice fight atop a moving train, M orders Moneypenny to shoot Patrice, despite not having a clear shot Moneypenny inadvertently hits Bond, who falls into a river. In Istanbul, MI6 agents James Bond and Eve Moneypenny pursue mercenary Patrice, who has stolen a hard drive containing details of undercover agents. The next film in the series, Spectre, was released in 2015. Skyfall grossed $1 billion worldwide, the fourteenth film to do so, and became the then- seventh-highest-grossing film of all time, the highest-grossing James Bond film, the second-highest-grossing film of 2012, and the then-highest-grossing film released by Sony or MGM. The film was nominated for five awards at the 85th Academy Awards, winning two, and received numerous other accolades. Skyfall received positive reviews, with praise for Mendes's direction, cast performances, action sequences, cinematography, and musical score. Skyfall premiered at the Royal Albert Hall on 23 October 2012, and was released theatrically in conventional and IMAX formats in the United Kingdom three days later and in the United States on 9 November, to coincide with the 50th anniversary of the first James Bond film Dr. Principal photography began that November after the film's title was revealed and lasted until March 2012, with filming locations including London, Shanghai, Istanbul, and Scotland. Production resumed in December 2010 after Purvis, Wade, and Logan were hired and a November 2012 release date was announced in January 2011. Development of the film was suspended throughout 2010 after Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM) filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, which caused screenwriter Peter Morgan to leave the project. Mendes was approached to direct after the release of Quantum of Solace in 2008. Ralph Fiennes, Bérénice Marlohe, and Albert Finney are among the supporting cast. It sees the return of two recurring characters, Miss Moneypenny (played by Naomie Harris) and Q (played by Ben Whishaw), after an absence of two films.
