I respectfully disagree. This article feels like an overreaction, very tabloid reporting. I dunno, just feels kinda over-the-top? From what I understand, the World Health Organization has not classified the coronavirus as a pandemic. They must know all the facts. If it's not a pandemic I see no reason why NTTD should be postponed. I'm not aware of other big releases postponed. I'm assuming all studios are going ahead with their releases.
Nonetheless, it looks like Cary is in Hungary. Not sure why......
I agree. Fear of infection may put some people off going to the cinema, but, certainly here in the UK, and from what I hear from friends in the US., people are being sensible (wisely a bit cautious) but are not panicking. And the sheer cost - marketing, distribution etc. etc. - and the logistics of putting back a wide international release (just 4 weeks away) would be eye watering.
I bet they (MI6 website staff) will all still be seeing it on April 2 though. If so, then they are hypocrites.
Is there a NTTD curse after all...

Seems like cases are going way up in the U.K. as well. Hoping for the best.
It's better to release as planned and hope for the best because as you said damned if they do, damned if they don't. At least if film is good, it will get the word out to others. Reviews will play an important part as well.
The only thing in my mind that would cause them to postpone is if London and/or NYC and other major cities are put on martial law / enforced lockdown like China and to a lesser degree, Italy. This seems highly unlikely in my opinion.
It does seem likely that if they continue as planned many people will just stay home. I will not be one of those people though haha.
Didn't Avengers Endgame do a second IMAX run some months later? Could that be a possibility here of the initial box office is short due to people staying home ?
A second run is far more likely than postponing the opening. If the film opens strongly - and it will - and also gets great reactions and reviews, then, if it falls a bit short on the predicted Box Office returns, due to the virus, I suspect they will do an early summer re-run - IMAX and perhaps wider too.
I don't think it's unlikely. I give it a 50/50 chance of happening.
Honestly if it were done 1-2 months ago it would be the best chance to contain the virus but now I fear it's far too late. Would likely cause mass panic in the U.S. also. But then again, in 2013 Boston completely shut down for about 2 days during the bombings manhunt and people went along with it.
Just terrible all around. I think keeping the original release date and then doing a second release in the summer would be best so anyone who couldn't leave home still has a chance to see it on the big screen.

7kg gold: that should keep you in curry.
Hungary is currently a very popular shooting location, along with the Czech Republic. If Fukunaga is still involved with adapting Napoléon as a HBO miniseries, shooting the battle scenes there is an option to consider.
Or it could be the start of the promo tour, with a few minor markets having some press junkets while a lot of details are still under embargo.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Everybody is overreacting. "Don't shake hands", "don't kiss", "don't French kiss".
Unfortunately MI6 HQ also gave in to the hysteria. :|

Maddy's dress has changed colour :)
Is that the April issue?
It's all one big marketing scheme.
