Based on vaccine timelines in much of the Western world (so North America, UK/Europe - and of course not to mention Asia/Pacific already being ready and open for ages), it'll be the first proper post vaccine release (with all adults having been offered one and it being just generally available), so if anything September/October is just the right moment, and by being among the first they get it out of the way. Remember that the schedule for the next year is going to be jam packed with films that have been previously delayed - almost three years worth of blockbusters in one. Best to lead the way vs being lost in the shuffle.
And the numbers coming out of Asia/Pacific, China especially, are insane and showing that as soon as it's properly sorted and safe and the world really is into a new normal, people will want to go out.
I admire you’re optimism. Unfortunately, the real mass vaccination campaign in the EU looks like it will take far longer than UK/US and that’s what worries me the most. Plus, being the first “post vaccine” release is still quite a gamble.
If that ends up being the case by September I would genuinely not be surprised if the film is just specifically delayed in the continental EU, while UK and US and other countries stick. And even then I'd imagine cinemas would still be open with restrictions, just as they were last summer with Tenet, even if the vaccine hasn't been offered to everyone (which is what's gonna be happening here between May and September).
I genuinely think it all just comes down to being lost in the shuffle with everything else if it goes to 2022 - unless everything else big this autumn like Mission Impossible or Halloween or Spider-Man also goes to 2022. I get a lot of people are keeping hopes very low it sticks but until there's indication that autumn won't work (remember how Black Widow fled last November before NTTD did)...
Again, I don’t know their business etc etc, but boxoffice wise I’d choose to release the film April 2022 being certain that theaters will work without restrictions almost everywhere than being the first “””post vaccine””” release with such a lot of question marks just to release it 6 months in advance (especially after a 1.5 years delay).
That’s what instinct tells me.
Seems as if No Time To Die has another song to add to its soundtrack. This to go along with the Dalida song, Dans La Ville Endormie.

Thanks for this heads up. Love the Top Gear/Grand Tour related Bond items. Clarkson drove the Valkyrie, then Vulcan, on Grand Tour and Hammond does a nice review of the Aston Martin DBS similar to Nomis in No Time To Die.
I can't see EPIX existing for much longer in the wake of all this. It may be dead by the end of the year. If MGM is purchased, then its catalog of films go to the "highest bidder" and poof goes EPIX. And if I am reading things correctly, EON would then become free to strike new agreements with other studios. In other words, Amazon or Apple or whoever would own the streaming rights to the old catalog, but Paramount or Universal or whoever would have the newer Bond titles.
Awesome. So he didn t speak for nine hours. Made me laugh.
I thought we would have Boom Shot Dis on the soundtrack.
Based on nothing but gut feelings at this point, I'm leaning toward yes.
The COVID situation is resolving fairly well in USA, UK, and Asia - three key markets. The EU is still lagging, but that may yet turn around; regardless banking on the other three may still be enough to make a decent return in shaky times. And generally summers are a better time for transmission so I'd expect incidence to drop in the run-up to a September release even absent a vaccine.
Second, and it's been mentioned already, the recent box office figures out of China have been remarkable. If they're any indication, EON could be nailing the timing just right to take advantage of a truly historic amount of pent-up demand. How many people on this site talk about Bond movies as social experiences - bringing friends and family to see them in cinemas. It could be the right movie at the right moment.
They're trying to catch a falling knife here, but if it works out NTTD could be a home run.
New Zealand is part of the commonwealth of nations. Our siblings are akin to us.
Oh I listen to that pretty much every time I get in my car, @marketto007. Makes me feel great every time.
DC's films sure did have a lot of borrowed music, perhaps more so than at any time in the franchise's history.
Suffice to say, I like it.
At least no "Beach Boys" ;)
True.
And I must say, despite the flak DAD gets, Lee Tamahori did at least include The Clash's "London Calling" at the perfect moment.
Addendum:
Wouldn't it be awesome if we see James Bond light up a joint, in his Jamaica house, with this Teacha Dee song playing on the speakers?????
I get that Eon don't want to do it themselves, but if we scrounge together a few quid maybe we can do a direct to video thing.
Alcohol is a drug, btw.
In any case, if he's gone to Jamaica to get away...you know he's gotta be smoking some ganja. LOL
Well, Bond isn't squeaky clean when it comes to such things.
And yet he still manages to save the world and get the girl.
Of course his substance use is only used in order to get the job done. It's not like he's pulling a note from his wallet, rolling it up and doing lines. Such usage works in the books only. To see it on film would be promoting the wrong idea. I guess the books appeal to a more adult audience.
Getting off topic here now though.
Alcohol is ok as it’s based on bonds taste and discerning palate. I wish they’d push that more tbh.
