    Delaying at this point would be such a slap in the face to the theater chains barely hanging on. All eyes are on NTTD as the barometer for the industry’s health right now. They’d look so foolish after the trailers that literally said “the wait is over” while other movies are still releasing as planned.

    MI:7 and TOP GUN have been moved - PARAMOUNT has blinked [ from the Hollywood Reporter]:
    The moves come as concerns over the delta variant continue to hamper theater attendance and make releasing tentpoles into cinemas a risky proposition for studios. Paramount, like other studios, regularly consults with epidemiologists on decisions such as this, and the studio is hopeful the box office will recover in 2022 when these films are now set to open.

    EON better not fucking cave. I don't think I can take another delay

    For Bond it would be out of this world to even hit the $100 million mark. SP did $83.5.

    Yes, Casino Royale did 11.
    What's the point in comparing them?

    Point is that NTTD doubling SP gross in China during a pandemic, like you suggest, won’t ever happen.

    F&F went from 66 of F6 to 300+ of F7, so your certainty about it is misplaced.
    it all depends from marketing, spot, competition

    F7 was a worldwide phenomenon that doubled F6 grosses. In China a success depends mostly by the audience taste. Disney tried everything to market Star Wars in China but they flopped three times. SP was marketed far more aggressively than SF there and SP grossed $25 million more.

    NTTD doubling SP gross during a pandemic doesn’t make any sense, even with the greatest marketing campaign. You’ll see.

    It would be a very difficult pill to swallow to have a delay now. If not now, when? This could be the beginning of the end of big box cinemas (not ALL cinemas), and then, if Bond is determined to release in theatres, what? Might be hoping Ernst Stavro Blezos steps in and gets it streaming.

    People kept on saying “this is gonna be the end of the theaters” since all the delays that happened after Tenet came out one year ago.

    Truth is theaters are still here. If Bond delays, theaters will survive. Anyway Bond won’t delay and Bezos still doesn’t own 50% of the rights.

    Theatres were in trouble since before the pandemic. And again I’m talking about big box cinemas, there will always be a place for cinemas of some kind. I doubt too that Bond will delay (though these days you have to be careful saying this ‘will’ happen or this ‘won’t’ happen), and I know Bezos can’t make that call. Just saying I imagine he’d be thrilled if Amazon Prime streamed NTTD.

    Important to remember — the buyout has not been approved nor will it until next summer at the earliest.

    I don't get it! Each to their own, but as a female, I find Rami completely weird and bizarre looking... VERY creepy and yet somehow comfortable in that skin. It's clearly for some, but not for me, and certainly IMHO NOT Bond like!!

    I tend to agree; his unique look makes him a perfect Fleming-esque villain, I'd say.

    Habits were changing before Covid happened. Box office in theaters had started to dwindle outside of big tentpole movies. And in that category, Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame had broken records but I don't expect phase IV of the MCU to be that huge. For more and more people pre-pandemic, it didn't matter that much whether they were seeing some blockbuster in a theater or some cheaper knockoff exclusive to a streaming service.

    Then Covid happened, and it has basically served as a catalyst to trends that already existed. However, Bond is one of these last remaining tentpole franchises, and given how it was one of the earliest casualties of the pandemic, No Time to Die may carry some particular significance for people who have been waiting for its release for something like 18 months. So, I expect some strong box-office, well comparatively to the current situation not to Skyfall or Spectre. This is the kind of movie that would get people out of their houses, if only to celebrate some milestone.

    I agree all over this post.

    Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but if Danny Boyle wasn't "detached" from the project, NTTD would be two years old now.

    EDIT: Ah, looks like the original release was November 2019, thought it was October.

    So yesterday South Korea Universal released a new trailer (no new footage nor lines) like that leaked schedule stated. So that was legit. At this point next week they will release new character posters and a new imax poster September 13th. A final trailer was also scheduled for September 23rd…

    This picture of Bond and Madeline is fantastic. Great acting from Lea, you can see in her eyes she's in love with Bond but its as if she's keeping something from him. Possibly regretting betraying him?

    It reminds of a very similar picture of Vesper and Bond from Casino. Eva Green had a very similar look in her eyes, before betraying Bond

    I don’t think she actually betrays him. That’s what Blofeld wants Bond to believe imo…

    Agreed. She has a secret... But it sounds like Blofeld is manipulating and warping Bond's instincts behind the scenes.

    I wonder about the link between Madeleine and Vesper. I do believe, that somehow, these two women are linked or have some sort of history, in a way.
