USA Network has agreed to pay $20 million for cable rights for Casino Royale, outbidding FX, Spike and TNT, according to Variety.

USA takes title to Casino Royale in June 2009 for a five-year license term. Sony has carved out three separate two-month windows within the five years for sale to another cable and/or broadcast net. That should energize the profit participants of Casino Royale: Depending on the demand, those three windows could add another $5 million-plus to USA's $20 million outlay.

Before Casino Royale winds up on USA, it will get a 15-month exclusive run on HBO beginning next December.

Casino Royale was released November 17th, 2006 and stars Daniel Craig, Eva Green, Mads Mikkelsen, Judi Dench, Jeffrey Wright, Giancarlo Giannini, Caterina Murino, Simon Abkarian. The film is directed by Martin Campbell.
