The movie, which stars Daniel Craig as British agent 007, remains scheduled to open in North America and much of the rest of the world on Nov. 7.
"Quantum of Solace" is the 22nd film in the long-running movie franchise based on the books by author Ian Fleming about a secret agent who saves the world from villains and almost always gets the girl in the end.
The most recent Bond flick, 2006's "Casino Royale," marked the first time British actor Craig took on the role of Bond. It sold 594 million U.S. dollars in tickets worldwide.
