SPECTRE WORLD PREMIERE Monday 26 October 2015

The new 007 movie SPECTRE will receive its World Premiere at the Royal Albert Hall.

For the first time in the history of Bond, the film will open on the same night in cinemas across the UK and Ireland. SPECTRE will then begin its theatrical roll out in territories around the world, including the US, on 6 November 2015.

This premiere follows the huge success of the launch of previous Bond film Skyfall at the venue in 2012.

More details about the World Premiere will be announced in due course, but at this stage it is expected that tickets will not be available for general sale.

MEXICO CITY TO HOST SPECTRE ‘PREMIERE OF THE AMERICAS’

EVENT TO BE HELD ON THE DAY OF THE DEAD

Mexico City will host the Premiere of the Americas for SPECTRE on Monday 2 November. It’s the first time that Mexico has hosted an international James Bond premiere, the date coinciding with the Day of the Dead festivities which feature in the film’s opening sequence.

Producers Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli commented, “We owe our magnificent Day of the Dead opening sequence, shot in Mexico City, to the expert craftsmanship of our wonderful British and Mexican crews. With 2015 being the Year of Culture between the UK and Mexico, it is fitting that the Premiere of the Americas will take place in Mexico City, on the actual Day of the Dead Festival.”

Following the UK release on October 26, SPECTRE will begin its rollout in North America and South America on 6 November.

SPECTRE VLOG FEATURES DAY OF THE DEAD FESTIVAL

BEHIND THE SCENES IN MEXICO

The latest Spectre vlog focuses on filming the opening sequence set during the Day of the Dead festival in Mexico City.

“I wanted the audience to be dropped right into the middle of a very, very specific, very heady, rich environment. It’s the Day of the Dead, everywhere you look there’s colour and detail and life. We’ve built floats and maquettes, the costumes are extraordinary and the craftsmanship is amazing,” says Director Sam Mendes.
