Oh really? Yes I hope it emerges someday what it was all about, obviously NTTD has to come out first though!
:)
Good grief. Hope not. I've had enough with the delays. They should just release it in November be it VOD or in cinemas. Or VOD first and just release it in the cinemas later when things are better. Coz honestly with the pandemic, the marketing they've done for it or will do again later is still screwed up. The box office still won't be how it used to be.
Lad, in an ideal world Bond 25 woulda come out in 2018.
However, winter is looking to be worse than Spring/Summer.
I think the best bet at this stage is simply to delay to 2021....I'm pretty certain there is a 0% chance that Shang-Chi will film before the start of next year. Black Widow will snap that May 7, 2021 release date.....but it could be perfect for 007.
Going to be a very interesting few months.
OR just delay it indefinitely until movies make all their money at the box office again, could be years away.
They get their stimulus. We get our movie.
Could you refrain from insulting the Oompa Loompas they are perfectly nice people
It's a confusing time with a lot of contradicting information....what we do know is that China is planning to re-open cinemas this weekend. So I suppose we shall see how that goes.....
A cinema chain in China has released this new campaign to spread the word about social distancing in cinemas. Personally, I think it's pretty great:
But there was a Vanity Fair article about the reopening of cinemas that had a very telling paragraph in it:
The relevant paragraph is excerpted below:
One executive whose studio moved most of their films to next year expressed relief. “It seemed drastic at the time but I’m happy they’re on a future horizon,” he said. “For any of the big tentpoles that cost a fortune and need to make even more, all of us need full moviegoing potential back—not partial capacities. It’s so hard to know when that happens, but I think we are still pretty far out from that.”
If MGM want NTTD to actually be profitable, then 2020 may be off the schedule....they want full audience capacity for release. They won't have that till summer next year optimistically speaking. If they wanted to take the risk after seeing reasonable returns for films brave enough to open in 2020, then fair play to them. It still doesn't mean that audience capacity will increase this year.
Therefore, I think the chances of NTTD coming in November are looking increasingly unlikely each day......though I'd say it's like 51/49 in favour of November currently. Just too soon to say.

Interesting read breaking down cinema seating and box office returns.
I'm envious that they've seen the film!
How do you do Popcorn and a beverage with a face mask on, the food an beverages are the real profit for cinemas
Germany marketing is kicking in for NTTD as well...spotted this on Twitter
Here in New Zealand, cinemas are now free to reopen as of today but they don't have an upcoming movies to screen (just saying). Apparently they're hoping people will hire them out for private screenings. There's nothing on the release schedules until TENET in July. I'm still trying to get them to show THE RHYTHM SECTION which did not get a New Zealand release at the start of the year. But back to my original point: there's nothing to stop United Artists/Universal from releasing NO TIME TO DIE in cinemas here from today onwards.
Regarding Corona
Zero new cases several days running though. We're officially at ' COVID level 2', meaning cinemas are free to operate as long as they practise social distancing and limit attendance numbers. The figures are accurate. But what you have to understand is that we had 2% community transmission and a complete shutdown of the country for two months to arrive at the point we're now at. Go early, go hard was the motto.
New Zealand’s run of consecutive days without new coronavirus cases has ended. The first confirmed case in 3 days has been announced.
