    When I was in New York, I went to see a lot of movies in different theaters, and there was hardly ever any disturbing behaviour.

    I saw Total Recall in a New York cinema way back in the day and being from England it was a brilliant experience. No stupid adverts, just a couple of trailers and hey presto the actual film started at the time stated! Not something i was used to in UK cinemas, where you were made to wait what seemed a friggin' lifetime to actually watch the film you'd paid to see.

    I did get asked a question i'd never heard before when i asked for popcorn, which was "Regular or salted..?"

    That is the case over there now as well. I've heard horror stories of trailers playing for 20 minutes.

    Oh dear. I rarely go cinema anymore thanks to home entertainment technology. But i'm pretty sure the cinema experience is better now than it was in Britain in the 70's and 80's.

    The 'Pearl & Dean' music can still instill a sense of dread whenever i hear it...

    At least in my area (Southern California) for blockbusters there’s 25 mins of trailers before the start of the movie. Ten years ago it probably was 15. So, yup.

    It's the truth. Americans like to hoot and holler in the theatre. That kind of conduct really doesn't exist in Europe. Nothing rude about it.
    The theater experience comments are interesting. My experience here at home (midwest USA) is that we're very silent except for laughter during jokes. Perhaps other USA regions are different, but there's never been hooting and hollering at the theater here.

    What's interesting is when I was in Germany (Frankfurt area) for Erasmus, I went to the theater with friends and the locals there were constantly talking, shouting at the screen, and just being obnoxious overall. I asked my German friends if that was normal for them and they said yes. I couldn't believe it.

    The other weird thing to me is people clapping at the end of the movie. Definitely doesn't happen here, but I've experienced it elsewhere in the US as well as Germany. Feels really weird to me, as it's not like a live performance where makers/performers get to hear the applause.

    The clapping at the end is endemic in American theatres. I have never seen it in the UK or in the continent.

    The only time I've heard clapping at the end was at the end of The Rise of Skywalker. I live in California by the way.

    I've definitely experienced clapping in the theatre here in Vancouver; the two recent times I can remember were Joker, and Once Upon A Time In Hollywood. Very strange.

    Maybe Rise of Skywalker as well, I can't remember.

    Audiences used to be quite vocal in the cinema during Bond films.
    I distinctly remember cheering during the water-ski bit and tanker chase in LTK, the gunbarrel in GE.
    Other films as well: SUPERMAN, RETURN OF THE JEDI and the INDIANA JONES films all resulted in vocal cheering and clapping in the cinema.
    I remember the audience cheering during several scenes in THE FUGITIVE as well as IN THE LINE OF FIRE.
    I think in this day and age, movies don't quite grab audiences in the same way. They may be well crafted, but don't get the adrenaline going as much.

    I feel sorry for anyone who has not seen a Bond film on opening night where the audience erupted in applause as the dots start across the screen. On opening night for SPECTRE there were people dressed as Bond with the skull mask accompanied by women in evening dresses. Yes, it was an American audience.

    In Lisbon, people were in a sepulcral silence throughout CR and then in the end, with that last line delivery, they all stood up and cheered and clapped. That was nice.

    Other than that, I truly hate people's behaviour in cinemas, from the bloody food to the phones. Hate it all. That's why I just bought a 70'' tv. Oh well, maybe that was to compensate the film's delay :-D Now for a proper blu-ray Bondathon.

    Building a home cinema for similiar reasons (150" inch screen!), though I take much greater issue with poor sound in most theatres these days as opposed to other people making noise.

    This one will likely get an opening applause at the beginning with the gun barrel.

    It’ll be five years and one month since Spectre a release in the USA. Technically over half a decade.

    I have never, ever, experienced clapping, let alone any whopping and hollering, during any films I have seen in the cinema.

    One person left during Stratton, now I know what it's like to have my own private cinema screening.

    I've experienced clapping at the end of the following movies (from recent memory)

    The Last Jedi sneak peak premiere
    The Rise of Skywalker sneak peak premiere
    Moana...a younger crowd :) not a premiere
    UP not a premiere
    Avengers End Game...not seen on premiere night
    Toy Story 3...not a premiere
    Casino Royale...premiere night

    I find it is always organic when it happens. A few start and next thing you know the whole theatre is applauding.

    This film wont do well regardless if the reviewers will pan it for being woke whether its released now or after. I can see the review headlines now great action but story is terrible. Wokest 007 ever. I don't think it will make a buck just reading this a few white people really how racist. I'm taking a break from Bond I think.

    I'm agreeing with you, sadly. I just read the article in Total Film magazine, and it leaves me felling no excitement at all for the new film - if anything dread.

    There's talk of Bond being a family - Q, M and Moneypenny by Craig (my worst nightmare - Scooby gang all back again), lots of talk of new directions where to take the character, and then woke articles like this.

    Yet nothing at all about Fleming. No references, nods, going back to the tone of the books - nothing! As though Fleming never existed. We have a director who talks up YOLT, and speaks fondly of his first film - AVTAK.

    I need to take a break from the franchise too, as I have a feeling NTTD may be Craig's worst Bond, or at least as bad as SP.

    I don't see that. The trailers alone have given me more solid Bond than SP, but I do fear that what could be a Top Ten production may be somewhat compromised with all of the nonsense that you fellows are referring to. Well, we may (or may not!) know in eight months time.

    Trailers are misleading, as we all know. FRWL and OHMSS are great Bond films, yet they both have poor trailers.

    A trailer can make any film look decent. I'm sure if you cut the right pieces together for a trailer, you could make SP look like a decent film too.

    The movie is being delayed due to poor test screenings. Rumor has it, the film is woke garbage, as I've said all along.



    If they are in fact doing re-shoots, the reason for the delay (7 months!) will be glaringly obvious.

    Midnight’s Edge is basically the YouTube equivalent of tabloid garbage. They know most of the stuff they put in is totally made up, because their naive subscribers eat it up because that’s what they like.

    Let’s not post their garbage here.

    Easy fix @The_Reaper : don’t bother seeing this mess of a film and allow the rest of us to enjoy the ride. I’m sure most of us will be able to assess the film AFTER we have seen it.

    I want it to be good so I'm happy with this rumor. They will fix it (theoretically) in this process. C'mon, be honest. Why the long delay? I can see a few weeks or something like that but 7 months? What other major film is doing this because of the CV? Is there one I haven't hear of? Why just Bond? Why do reshoots?

    How’d you know they’re doing reshoots, which is status quo on most films, pick ups and ADR work, it’s all part n parcel of a film production; but if you’re saying they are doing some major reshoots re-building sets, getting the production team back together, I’d love to know your source. Not some fan boy conspiracy-breeding YouTube site @The_Reaper .... but actual film sources.

    I’ll give you a better theory than the poison of the “woke” and “re-shoot” ones:
    1/they made the right decision to postpone the release date (look at what is happening around the world, everything from business conventions, concerts, films and film festivals are being canceled as well as sporting events);
    2/summer is a crowded marketplace and no longer fits the release of a Bond film.
    3/there may be plot points in the film that coincidentally mirror what is going on in real life; releasing on the heels could be seen as distasteful and websites like the above would run with these negative headlines;
    4/Fall and Thanksgiving weekend is ripe for maximum box office opening success.

    And, as of this writing, I know not one reputable source (media or personal relations), that back up your claim of wokeness and re-shoots.

    Griping/whining about "wokeness" = CPC

    Conservative [right-wing/reactionary] Political Correctness

    Purely anecdotal, but in my neck of the (southern U.S.) woods the snowflakes that complain about "wokeness" in movies are the same folks who get enraged over all the "@#!&*^% interracial couples" they see in TV commercials.

    According to Daniel Craig, in his monologue on SNL, the new Bond film NTTD is "one of the best".
    I'm taking Daniel's word for it and now think it will be worth the long wait.

    Hahahaha u can’t be serious.

    The reason why they moved the film to November is already glaringly obvious.

    I don't think BB, MGW and the marketing men and women would be very happy with him if he came out saying it's so-so or not that good. Even PB did some of his finest acting when publicising Die Another Day!

    If the plot is about germ warfare I'm guessing it may get some criticism.

    "Coronavirus type Bond plot angers victims!"

    Everyone loves to complain!

    As for reshoots... seven months of reshoots? Blimey, they might as well shoot Bond 26 at the same time. ;))

    He deserved an Oscar for that one. I think he perfected that craft by his final film. On TND, I can remember him saying " I think we've got a good film in TOMORROW NEVER DIES", yet seeming a bit meh about the whole thing.

    Tickets wouldn't have gone on sale if they were still doing reshoots of that magnitude.
