Yes, they should have made the decision before they made the decision. And not promoted the movie at all before that point, and even if all cinemas had been closed they should stick to that decision which they made months before and release it in cinemas.
It’s a tough time: they’ve got more to lose than we have. Give ‘em a break, it’s not the end of the world (yet).
The real kicker is -- if a wealth of cinemas go under by the time it's finally safe to release and they end up sending it out on streaming/PVOD anyways, I think that might be the most devastating outcome considering we could have just seen it that way from the beginning.
Those partners won't be happy. Some potential Steven Obanno situations there :)
I can't even imagine what that'll do to our mind set.
Oh yes, because when they made the decision to start mkt again It was all good, up and running right?
I think you better stop this non sense
Robert Zemeckis' THE WITCHES was originally moved from this month to 2021....until it returned for a HBO Max U.S. + international theatrical release back close to its original October date.
Things can still move forward (if they're willing to give up global traditional theatrical day and date release). At the very least, Bond is in the can. Actually done. So is WW84. Soul potentially too, given it was gonna debut at Cannes in May (but it's yet to move from November).
Stuff like Dune still in post can only move back really....
I laughed out loudly at that. Thanks. Badly needed!
This. I would have no problem with this delay if I knew for certain that the soundtrack would still come out next month.
I suspect, given Broccoli’s involvement in that open letter to the US government in support of the industry, she may well have been up for releasing this to help cinemas. But Eon aren’t in charge of release, they just make the movies. It may have been postponed four times but don’t forget that it likely won’t have been the same people postponing it each time.
EoN: Er, yes. 100%. Definitely happening, no chance of it suddenly being pulled with zero notice. (Shifty eyes).
Omega: Great, we will launch our marketing. Cant wait to see the film.
EoN: Er, yeah!
Really sorry to hear that @NeverSayNeverAgain , hope we get to see this film soon.
At least we have the list of that soundtrack, even if we might not be able to listen to them for a while :P
Right? The soundtrack, the production book, the Taschen book, the corgi cars, the soundtrack, the other musical themes album,...
If all of that comes out between now and April, that's one thing. But if every single thing is to be delayed again?? That'll be idiotic, IMO.
Ha ha it’s either that or cry mate :(
You’ve made that up, and what’s the alternative?
“No, I wouldn’t bother using all of that millions of pounds worth of promo you’ve paid for as we’re only 75% sure we’ll release the film in November. Yeah, if we do actually release it then you’ll have definitely flushed all that cash down the toilet, I know. But better to be sure you’ve wasted it than risk looking like we’ve had to make a decision which reflects badly on you in no way at all, eh?”
Bear in kind that the idea behind the tie-in campaigns is that they promote the movie. The film company want and need them just as much as the licencees do. It’s a two-way Street: they’re not being exploited.
I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I agree. They also let Daniel Craig have too much say, while Purvis and Wade weren’t the right people to keep having write. Enough with the artsy directors for awhile, EON! Also, I think Michael G. Wilson might retire after this one, as his health’s not good and his ideas aren’t paying off.
I may be wrong, but I suspect Michael and Barbara don’t distribute the films: the film distribution companies do. So United Artists and Universal will be making these decisions, not necessarily Eon.
You must be joking.
You know that the Omega, Dhl, and all stuff it's mkt for the film and not for Omega itself right? Omega doesn't need to do mkt before the movie comes out. Actually they would have probably more advantages by making It After the movie Is in theatres. So yes, but actually no
You think they don’t make money from the £8,000 watches they’re selling? Okaaay.
Christ, you read this forum and you’d think what with no-one enjoying the films, plus the hatred of anyone involved in making them, you wonder why anyone here is a Bond fan.
Agreed. This once beloved franchise has become a joke. Bond is NOT a premiere brand anymore. If you don't believe that, you are in denial. The general population simply doesn't care any longer. While we can look at juggernauts like Marvel, Fast and Furious, even DC is reemerging as a big shot box contender, as examples of how to run a movie franchise, Bond meanwhile is stuck in a rut.
