My point is, when November comes around, they might just have to release it and accept trying to make 600 mil and break even rather than any 1 billion pipe dream. Just make back the investment and move on
I couldn't agree more. If the issue is piracy, I can't believe they don't have the technology to do some mega encryption of it so it can't leak. I think that's the biggest concern regarding the film on 'VOD.' I think at this point, it's very difficult for the distributors to set a firm re-release date, so who knows if the November dates mean diddly squat. I mean, even if every distancing measure were to be lifted, are they that confident that people will just swarm back to the theaters?
Me too buddy, i have been a fan since 2009 (10 yrs), so only able to watched SF and SP in theatre. I am fine either way but would prefer in theatre's. If they release on vod now and in cinema a few months later, i would watch on both.
Now that Bezos is a Trillionaire, acquiring the rights to stream 'NTTD' would be pennies to him and he could cover any difference without a problem.
I mean thats what I would spend the money on!!
Surreal. Watching a new Bond in an environment like that would be strange. Maybe a good opportunity to check out the VIP theatres, which I understand has seating spaced like that anyways.
Unless they charge $40 a ticket, that is.
Indeed. Now, correlate the amount of drinks/snacks sold with the number of people allowed into each screening...
With only 50% occupancy (or less) allowed, there will be a direct, corresponding drop in concession stand sales.
And somehow, I don't think popcorn that's pretty exposed, is going to be a very popular snack item when the "smoke clears."
:))
I hope some asshole doesn't leak it early.
Stream it immediately.
Sometimes you'll make a loss - whether due to seasonal fluctuations, exchanges rates, or simply bad decisions. Eon need to wear this one. It will not make its budget back any time this decade - not even close.
Audiences will know everything about it by 2028 when theatres reopen - if they're still alive by then. We are already seeing spoiler headlines in the tabloids.
Stream it, scrape back some cash, lick your wounds, and start thinking about Bond 26. Now.
"Know when to hold em, know when to fold em." Bond is a gambler - follow his lead and cut the losses.
There's gambling... and then there's pushing all in with 7 2 off. They'll keep it unreleased until there's a vaccine, and then after that, when theatres are seating people again.
The longer it sits on a shelf, the deeper the fiscal hole. Time to stem the bleeding now.
Hope you're happy to wait at least another year or two for it then at this rate.
Fair point.
There are smart people doing the calculations, as hundreds of millions of dollars are on the line. It'll be released when it makes fiscal sense.
I get it, I'd love the film to be available for streaming/download now, but we have to be patient.
Why?
Why what? Are you seriously advocating for mass vaccinations before people can go to the theatre now? Sounds like Bill Gates.
Are you seriously advocating for people to risk their lives so that they can go to the theatre now? Sounds like DJT.
Are you an anti vaxxer?
Regardless of your opinions on vaccinations or even if they do anything or not, theatres won’t reopen until there is one, and NTTD won’t release until theatres are open. Ergo, NTTD won’t release until there’s a vaccine.
Cinemas are already open in many parts of the world, as well as reopening next month in the US and the UK, and Tenet is still dead set to launch on July 17. Will people go, and will studios be willing to leave money on the table - like Warners/Nolan has - by not waiting until audience confidence fully returns (which is will when the world returns to normal with a vaccine/treatment), and is it even right that a cultural event film like this is in such a position where it's either you miss out by waiting 16 weeks for it to hit the home or you risk catching the damn thing, are different questions
