So much for that "Global Release", then... So in the Netherlands it opens on the 7th. Movies in Belgium always open on Wednesdays, so NTTD might open here on the 6th. (I hope, I don't want to wait until the 13th). Last time, Belgium and France shared a date, the 31st of March. So if that strategy still is in place, we might get the same here, with France and the Benelux ahead of the UK, and the US to follow after that.
Meanwhile, the biggest cinema chain here has just given up trying to put a date on this film. :)
I agree with the OP that "life MAY never FULLY return to normal". Even now, because of the pandemic, some of life has change forever. Studios are already facing the decision whether to rely on blockbusters like Bond, which could lead to downsizing the franchise.
Agreed. There will generally speaking be more ongoing mask wearing than there was before, but certainly not to the extent there is now, of course. A lot of restaurants have replaced some of their street parking with street patios, and I hope that sticks around.
There will be more, worse pandemics in the future and hopefully science and society have learned enough from this one to help us in the future.
I suppose I don't have any strictly empirical evidence for this but I do feel like there is overpopulation on the planet, and these pandemics are one way of nature sorting itself out.
Craig is looking damn good. I wonder if there's any chance Barbara could persuade him to come back for one more?
None of the Bond potentials tossed about in the media seem to hold a candle to Daniel , IMO.
Once the most vulnerable 70% will have been vaccinated, covid deaths will be down something like 95% or more and life will be back to normal. Also, statements like "WHO says no chance of herd immunity this year" are simply fearmongering without context. The WHO said herd immunity won't be achieved worldwide. But it will be achieved in the US, EU, UK and other developed countries.
And saying things like "it's not going anywhere" don't mean much. For example the plague is still here but it's nowhere near as devastating as it was hundreds of years ago.
What does all this mean for No Time to Die? It means that it will be screened to audiences in packed theaters in Europe, North America, Japan, Australia, etc. in October.
I'm not sure if you're delegating China to "and other developed countries" and "etc" (and I'm not sure why you would because it's an incredibly important component in this discussion), but if not, the movie won't come out until it can be screened in China as well as these other markets. Hugely important market.
I agree with you about how "it's not going anywhere" not meaning much. We'll live with this like we live with the flu; vaccinations yearly will be available for those who want it type of situation.
I think you just appear a little off the rails sometimes with how certain you are about the future.
Fair enough. They did seem to sort themselves out pretty quickly.
You are also leaving out the right-wing, Trump associated, Q-Anon sanity deniers that absolutely refuse masks and the vaccine as a whole. They are a good 40 percent of the country.
I actually think that figure is a little high. They’re very loud, but it’s a smaller group than that I think. Trump won with very few votes in 2016.
I also keep reading about how there are some left wing groups hesitant over the vaccine as well due to the fast development and the mutating strains of the virus itself.
Guess we will see.
Yeah I do think that’s true as well.
With his age and cognitive decline he wont serve more then 1 term. TBH I really dont see where Bond goes from here after NTTD.
In Denmark, too. Then we learned about delays and fewer planned doses coming from Pfizer, Moderna etc...
Personally Id want period movies but thats probably a minority wish.
No matter when it's released it's going to be tough. People are not likely to flock to cinemas for a while. Here in Australia, and particularly Perth, the virus has been all but eliminated, except for a dozen or so cases that are in hotel quarantine. Despite this people are still not going to the movies in droves. There is still a trepidation for people.
As others have said, this is something we're likely to have to live with for the foreseeable future sadly. The world has changed, this is not the same as Cubby and Harry parting way's and the delay that gave us TSWLM, or the six year delay that gave us GE. This is a pandemic that is still ongoing. To predict anything for the release of NTTD still isn't concrete. We can hope that it gets released in October, and I really hope it does. Maybe by October the time is right and it'll be a huge success.
Fortunately, those dramatic "I am losing interest" episodes are also a temporary thing. I'm sure that when we're getting the film for real, even the "Fire Barbara Broccoli" and "I don't think I'll be seeing this film" crowd will hurry to their local theatres as if their lives depended on it.
And as I've said countless times before. If people want to watch a Bond film, it's not like their options are limited... There are 24 (or 26?) perfectly enjoyable films to watch. Then again, maybe I really am a different brand of Bond fan, someone who actually appreciates the good stuff we've been given so far, without craving more this very instant.
Due to the lighting man getting held up at the battle of El Alamein. After that she lost interest in George formby and never watched one of his films again. She smashed her Ukulele up. And never cleaned her windows again either. 🧐
I think there are at least 100 other movies, that have been delayed several times.
The pre-Covid-story with Danny Boyle and the script has nothing to do with Corona.
So Bond has been delayed three times because of corona. Each time for about half a year.
There are movies, that have only been delayed once, but that delay was from spring 2020 to summer 2021, ober a year with ONE delay.
So would it have been better if last year in march they announced, that NTTD will be delayed to April 2022. That would have been only ONE deleay, but everyone would have said: "You're crazy, delaying to for 2 years."
Whats's better? To announce a new date every 6 months?
Or to delay less, but longer?
Agreed.
That which is asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence.
