It might be a wider audience reach thing.
Based on your comments, I think it's more of a "you" thing.
lol
I actually couldn't care less. I was just taking the opportunity to be humorous. Express away!
I didn't realise it was in jest. Keep em coming. :)
The reality is that the Bond franchise has not skewed towards the four quadrants of film audiences for quite some time (unlike, say, Spider-Man/Marvel/DC), and hits more with an older audience (of course a new era may see a bump in a younger demo).
But the fact is (not opinion, hyperbole, perspective, but a fact), NTTD made almost $800 million in a world that was still moving through a pandemic.
And since Bond fans tend to be older, this was the audience we know, mostly, who were keeping out of public places like the cinema.
So this $775 million box office take was built via repeat viewings.
I’d say, “plenty” more liked the film than did not.
Just saying…
Many eyeballs went back to the cinemas, many times over.
Additionally as time has progressed populations and their access to viewing technology has increased significantly. Considering it is a long running globally recognised brand I am very surprised it is outperformed by the likes of Top Gun when it actually should be able to compete with Spider-Man.
I still think NTTD was poorly written, not as poorly as Spectre, or Skyfall, but still poor nonetheless.

I read the script on Friday. It's amazing. Dark and violent and captures the crazy summer of NYC in 1977 (a massive heatwave, Son of Sam, gangsters and crooked cops, a robbery and a blackout-- a proper hard boiled noir thriller).
Sounds like it'll make NTTD look like It's a Wonderful Life.
I was impressed by Callum Turner, who has an old school Hollywood moviestar charisma. I'd join @Denbigh and put him firmly in the running for the Bond role....
lol.

Thank God for American exceptionalism during WW2 ;Over 400,000 Americans died in that conflict, I applaud any filmmaker who celebrates their sacrifice, as well as those who survived . Others are free , and should be encouraged, to do the same for every country that fought and defeated, Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan.

Amen =D>
I don't know if that would be exceptionalism though.
Well then , with all due respect, you are clueless.
Again, that's kind of saying two opposite things at the same time: it's not actually respectful to call someone clueless; just as lots of countries joining together to do something important and acknowledging their cooperation and strength together can't really make them exceptionalist. Exceptionalism in the case of the war would be a shame, it was a tremendous joint effort.
Well I did actually say "due respect".
Ya think? 😏
