That's not long come out on Blu Ray in the UK and is on my shopping list!
I recently got 'Hot Enough For June'. Not an especially brilliant film but it really has a FRWL feel before the spy films of the 60s went off in a more OTT fashion.
And I thought I was the only who happened to be a fan of The Professionals.
Oh yes. Deadlier Than The Male is my honourary Bond film. It might lack the opening gunbarrel and Bond theme, but it's so close to a Bond film. You should check out the sequel, 'Some Girls Do', but be prepared, it's not quite as good (though I still enjoyed it, compared to the Helm and Flint films).
It's one of my favourite films.
I would also recommend Danger Route, a spy thriller Johnson made between the two Bulldog Drummond films. The tone is very different, but it's well worth searching for. Having never had a home release, it'll probably be on youtube.
Another movie named Mi-5 also known as Spooks: The Greater Good. Starring Elyes Gabel who playing Walter in tv series Scorpion and Lasco Atkins who also been seen in Mission Impossible 5 and Spectre. Movie is made with help of Pinewood studios as one of Production Companies.
Uk release date whas in May, now there is new American trailer. VS cinema release date is 04 December 2015 released by Fox. In Spain, France and German the movie get straight to dvd release. If there already deside release movie in The Netherlands, then i think it wil be same i think.

Much like 'Edge of Tomorrow' being overshadowed by the 'Live. Die. Repeat.' tagline on its blu-ray/DVD release when they regretted their initial title choice for the film.
I looked that movie up on IMDB and people are already thinking it's MI-Rogue Nation and asking where's Tom Cruise? :))
I've been really excited for it ever since I saw that first still from the first day of shooting. Hopefully it delivers.
@Murdock, check it out some time, it's pure entertainment and Cruise's own stunt driving scenes are wildly impressive. I didn't enjoy the movie that much the first time I saw it, but I gave it a rewatch and was totally surprised by how much better I found it.

06. --> $ 749,625,179: "James Bond 24 - SPECTRE" (Production budget: $ 245 Million. So far slightly less succesful than "Skyfall", but still with inflation correction more succesful than "YOLT" and "LALD", and probably "GF" too. Considering the fact that since August the TOP 4 of this list -"Furious 7, "Avengers 2"- still grossed $5 to $10 Million globally, "SPECTRE" should now easily pass the $950 Million at the end of February 2016)

$ 489,406,000: Rest of the world
07. --> $ 682,330,139: "Mission: Impossible 5 - Rogue Nation" (Production budget: $ 200 Million. Slightly less succesful than "M:I 4 - Ghost Protocol", but succesful in China)

$ 350,527,762: Rest of the world
16. --> $ 414,351,546: "Kingsman: The Secret Service" (Production budget: $ 115 Million. The surprise box office hit of 2015. Part 2 is in pre-production)

$ 074,667,000: Box office China
$ 211,422,822: Rest of the world
19. --> $ 328,130,237: "Taken 3" (Production budget: $ 83 Million. Not as succesful as "Taken 2", but still grossing well past the $ 300 Million)

$ 032,200,000: Box office China
$ 206,673,813: Rest of the world
26. --> $ 235,666,219: "Spy" (Production budget: $ 100 Million. As of now the most succesful film ever featuring Melissa McCarthy)
$ 110,825,712: Box office USA
*not opened yet in China*
$ 124,840,507: Rest of the world
44. --> $ 108,145,109: "The Man From U.N.C.L.E." (Production budget: $ 120 Million. A flop. Warner Bros. lost considerable amount of money on this film)
$ 045,445,109: Box office USA
*not opened yet in China*
$ 062,700,000: Rest of the world
49. --> $ 095,474,757: "Bridge Of Spies" (Production budget: $ 40 Million. Not a flop just yet, but certainly one of the lesser succesful Spielberg films, if compared with "Lincoln". "Captain Phillips" also did better at the box office)
$ 067,563,007: Box office USA
*not opened yet in China*
$ 027,911,750: Rest of the world
59. --> $ 082,347,656: "Hitman: Agent 47" (Production budget: $ 35 Million. Not really a flop, as most of the budget has been earned back. It still has to open in China)
$ 022,467,450: Box office USA
*not opened yet in China*
$ 059,880,206: Rest of the world
75. --> $ 052,148,770: "The Transporter Refueled" (Production budget: $ 45 Million. And again, with China even these 'flops' can be saved a bit)
$ 016,029,670: Box office USA
$ 019,119,100: Box office China
$ 017,000,000: Rest of the world
78. --> $ 047,275,695: "Mortdecai" (Production budget: $ 85 Million. Call it a funnier spoof of "Ocean's Eleven" and "The Saint". But, a big flop)
$ 007,696,134: Box office USA
$ 003,530,000: Box office China
$ 036,049,561: Rest of the world
105. --> $ 019,472,471: "Blackhat" (Production budget: $ 100 Million. And therefore one of the biggest flops of 2015. Entire budget is lost)
$ 007,889,395: Box office USA
*not opened yet in China*
$ 011,583,076: Rest of the world
111. --> $ 015,569,265: "The Gunman" (Production budget: $ 60 Million. Even a star cast containing Sean Penn, Javier Bardem and Idris Elba couldn't help this film)
$ 010,664,749: Box office USA
*not opened yet in China*
$ 004,904,516: Rest of the world
123. --> $ 015,440,985: "American Ultra" (Production budget: $ 28 Million. You've got flops, and you have frikkin' big flops. This is the latter)
$ 014,440,985: Box office USA
*not opened yet in China*
$ 001,000,000: Rest of the world
An impressive box office year indeed. "JW" crossed the $1.6 Billion, "F7" (non-3D, non-Sci-fi) crossed the $1.5 Billion and "Avengers 2" crossed the $1.4 Billion. With "Minions" now joining the '1 Billion Club' with $1.1 Billion, it becomes very likely that "SPECTRE" will enter the TOP 5 of highest grossing films of 2015 before "Star Wars" premieres.
PRODUCTION BUDGETS 2015
The production budget figures are more accurate estimates from boxoffice.com, but they do include marketing and publicity as well. Disney's "Avengers 2" has so far the highest production budget ever, with $340 Million, followed by "Furious 7"s $ 275 Million.
Plus, I don't think the Superman sequel is coming any time soon-it could be as late as 2019 or 2020-so there's no big rush. I just hope EON don't play the waiting game this time around wondering if Mendes is going to bite or pass on the offer for 25.
Some just thought it was one big chase film, but I agree with the critics that all thought it was great. I too thought Miller's age could possibly work against him, but MM had to be a killer to film, so if he had the stamina to do it, he would surely have the stamina for a Bond which couldn't possibly be more difficult. Do watch MM, I'd be surprised if you didn't find it well worth your time. I think Mendes is done with Bond and I'm glad. Bond 25 needs a new director, with a fresh approach, with great action skills and a new writer.
Does anyone know if the studio release any plans to do another trilogy with the new guy? Can't say they have much faith in their product now. Of course, how short was the reboot box office wise compared to Statham's three?
All I know is Luc Besson said they signed for a new trilogy (4th, 5th, 6th) before making this one. Is it still on the table? I don't know, but if it is, I'm fairly certain that they will re-cast and get Statham back in the main role.
If I have to check EVERY box office site for box office actuals, I'm busy making this list for at least 1 hour. Thank you anyway for your correction.
By the way, I use boxofficemojo figures. And your correction needs to be crosschecked with the source you got it from.
