James Bond Day 2024

Celebrating 62 years since Dr. No’s premiere

Happy James Bond Day! 5 October marks the annual celebration of cinema’s most beloved MI6 agent.

When our original James Bond, Sean Connery, made his legendary entrance at the casino table, introducing himself to Sylvia Trench (Eunice Gayson) as Bond, James Bond,” a new screen icon was introduced. His gritty portrayal of the charismatic secret agent is, without a doubt, a key factor of the success of the film series, along with an intoxicating mix of cast, great story arc, exotic locations, and magical music. The success of Dr. No began a new genre of filmmaking for cinema audiences worldwide.

Beginning in 2012, during the franchise’s 50th anniversary, 5 October was selected as the celebration day marking the UK premiere of Dr. No in 1962. The golden commemorations included the release of Skyfall, and the creation of the insider documentary Everything or Nothing: The Untold Story of 007, now available to watch on Prime Video.

For the month of October, all 25 movies will also be available to stream on the platform alongside 2022’s 60th anniversary documentary The Sound of 007, which chronicles the films’ legendary soundtracks and iconic James Bond themes.

New for 2024 on Prime Video will be four mini-documentaries: 007 Destinations, 007 Action: With Chris Corbould, 007 Design and 007 DB5: Celebrating 60 Years. 

There is also a unique 007 experience this year for fans to enjoy at Burlington Arcade, Mayfair. The 007, is a brand new bar and boutique featuring signature cocktails, curated Goldfinger archive props and exclusive collectibles to purchase. Special activations will be happening across the weekend to celebrate James Bond Day. The 007 will be open until 31 December 2024.
