YES!!!!!

The UK still has the same release date.

This is always a bad idea with blockbusters from the UK or based in Europe...when they show these films they mostly hit the internet sooner...so North Americans don't have to wait the 2 weeks or in the case of "RockNRolla" the more than a month gap between the UK and N.A. release...I saw a french copy of "Taken" last month...now there are screeners online....it's like, why bother holding back these releases?...it only hurts their box office totals...I don't think this will overall effect the final numbers for Solace but it most likely will hurt films like "RockNRolla" and "Taken"....I remember how "Shaun of Dead" and "Hot Fuzz" hit the torrent sites a full month before it's release...when great smaller movies get hurt this only the faults of the studios and distributors...

I think the only way to finally get rid of this whole problem is releasing DVDs "not rentals" the same time as the theatrical release...or just releasing these films concurrently..it's been done with smaller films and hopefully the movie industry will change with the times...an example is the Apple rentals

last spring*

no amount of early release dates can ever make up for the wait we had for dark knight and cloverfield over here in the uk...i had to stay away from the internet for two or three weeks to avoid spoilers with those

Be glad its only a two week delay, us in Australia have to wait til November 28th - FOUR WEEKS after the UK release to see it.

First Potter, and now this.

Worldwide release dates ftw. I mean, really, this is the 21st century. In Germany "The Dark Knight" was released YESTERDAY. Wall-E follows September 25th. And then people wonder about piracy.

oh hell yeah!

it doesn't happen very often but for once livin in blighty's paid off!

one week?

it's actually not that bad since it can guarantee itself to be the number one movie at the box office. i mean who does it have to face, australia?

I beat you at reporting this too! Hey I'm actually good at this!

The release change seems kind of stupid and pointless if you ask me.

There's a lot of red tape in foreign countries, even more so than you get in the U.S. Plus, most other countries are about two decades behind the U.S. in everything else anyway, so the delay is to be expected in Germany and elsewhere...

PUT REPO! In Wide release!!!!!!

I guess this buggers up their title sequence in the trailers (and breaks tradition with other bond releases) where the 007 turns into the release date.
Bad, sloppy move on the studio's part.

@ Christopher Marc

I couldn't have said it better. I'm in the USA, and I'll be tempted to look online for a screener/cam version rather than wait 2 weeks. If there were a DVD available, I would likely purchase it instead. The studios need to do a worldwide release for this kind of movie.

People still watch Bond movies?

don't care. can't wait.

Actually a smart move. This does a few things:

A) While it allows Madagascar 2 to a bigger OW, it effectively kills its long-term BO (as QoS comes out 1 week later than M2, and Bolt will take over the Thanksgiving crowds)

B) Gives it a wider berth of spotlight: two weeks of release and then Thanksgiving.
