Well, that's actually not a weird thing to mention @QBranch .
"Skyfall" was an insane success in The Netherlands. Let's compare the 'insane' box office gross of "Skyfall" in the UK and Netherlands:
--> 64.5 Million: Population United Kingdom
--> $161 Million: Box Office Gross "SkyFall" in The UK
--> $2,50 Box Office Gross per Person in The UK
--> 17.0 Million: Population The Netherlands
--> $025 Million: Box Office Gross "SkyFall" in The Netherlands
--> $1,48 Box Office Gross per Person in The Netherlands
And now with France and Germany:
--> 81.0 Million: Population Germany
--> $085 Million: Box Office Gross "SkyFall" in Germany
--> $1,05 Box Office Gross per Person in Germany
--> 67.0 Million: Population France
--> $060 Million: Box Office Gross "SkyFall" in France
--> $0,90 Box Office Gross per Person in France
So basically, Sony marketeers see The Netherlands as the smaller 'Bond-Brother' of the UK in terms of money. It's perhaps the most loyal 'Bond country' after the UK. No wonder Sony/Universal advanced the premiere date of "SPECTRE" in The Netherlands to October 29th, which is only three days after the premiere of "SPECTRE" in the UK.
And to be honest.....I really love our overseas British neighbours. Sometimes a bit stiff-arse, but I do love them ;-).
Now, it gets serious - starting today I'm visiting my Bond novel collection.
Canada wouldn't get the movie until the next year!!!
:-SS

other that that i am a huge Bond videogame enthusiast (as you might guess from my avatar) so i am replaying Nightfall and Everything or Nothing.
it kinda fits, since Spectre seems to be Craigs equivalent to a full blown epic James Bond adventure in the old tradition
No, it's not. Because tomorrow, October 5th, the music video of "The Writing's On The Wall" will be -officially- released ;-). Sam as three years ago.
