Very nice. Imagine what could have been achieved in a normal year with a normal marketing campaign.
We're far from the days when $500M for NTTD was unimaginable. Now we're within spitting distance from being the biggest film of the year (so far) and, possibly, ending closer to $800M WW than $700M. Wild. NTTD would have hit one billion in 2019 or a non-COVID 2020.
It's coming to USA/Canada sooner than I had thought: https://www.mi6-hq.com/news/no-time-to-die-to-hit-vod-next-week-in-the-usa-211106
Yes, without mentioning that all the recent unpredictable COVID closures in China “robbed” Bond of $15 million, at least. Without the pandemic in China NTTD would’ve easily hit the $100 million mark.
People are really liking the film. NTTD’s legs are extremely impressive. It would’ve easily bested SP without the pandemic getting scary close to SF’s total imo.
Google says 3 am E.T. but that’s a generic response, so it may not be accurate.
It’ll hit or even make over $700M this weekend with the Australian opening.
Another $40M between US/CAN/CHINA
$30-$50M from Australia
$10M between Malaysia and the Philippines
$20M from other markets
$730M-$780M possible.
I don't think Canada is getting it. The linked article only mentions Canada at the end, and none of the other content suggests it's coming here at the same time.
Well, I'm keeping my eyes peeled for it on Apple TV and Amazon Prime just in case. ;)
Same here! I've got a VPN as well, but Prime Video checks for more than that to see if you're in the states I think.
I long for the golden days before companies caught on to geoblocking.
Yeah… seems like you need to buy it with a U.S. credit card (was going to try to get around that with a gift card), but then you need to watch it from an account with a U.S. mailing address… too complicated at that point to try and fake it.
Wait, are you sure?
I don't see it ... not in Quebec, anyway.
The most likely scenario is that NTTD will finish its run at $730 million without Australia.
Unfortunately NTTD just made its way to torrent sites.
What a surprise.
I still don't get it why the put it online in the US after just one months, when the movie is still making money each week at the theatres.
It looks like that's Universal policy and strategy in the US. It was confirmed like in May or June that they closed a deal to put out on streaming services their films after 17 days if they open less than $50M and 30 days if they open more than $50M. NTTD opended with $55 million so that was scary close...

quick reminder that the US PVOD decision is specifically MGM's (which have also been doing early PVOD for their bigger releases this year like Wrath of Man or Respect).
Universal and their PVOD windowing policies have nothing to do with today's US release. They are however responsible for the Canadian release, though they've mostly been following MGM/UAR's lead (which hold the global digital rights to the film anyway).
Because they've made something like 80%+ of the money they were going to make from US theaters anyway - that's the whole argument behind this model. Instead of just watching the film slowly make money theatrically - more and more of which is going to the cinemas as the run goes on - MGM/UAR have an opportunity to make extra revenue through early PVOD, most of which goes directly to them. This whole idea with early-release PVOD has been up for discussion for years prior to COVID - the pandemic gave the distributors leverage over cinemas to make that happen.
Because they aren't involved in the US at all! Sony was responsible the US release of the previous ones.
Yeah, the international versions should have it for sure. If anything I am worried the US version without the Universal logo won't survive to physical media as Uni is involved with the US Blu/DVD release specifically.
