Exactly. There will be other variants. Covid is never going away. It will be circulating in some form forever with outbreaks popping up year after year.
I highly doubt anyone outside of these boards cares or is even aware of the 60th anniversary. That isn't going to move the needle. Anyone who thinks it will is living in a bubble. The reason Skyfall was so successful was due to the Olympics, hype around Javier Bardem, the anticipation after the long gap after QoS, and the hugely positive word of mouth. The 50th anniversary was an added tagline, but nobody really went to see the movie based on that.
Eon either need to accept that the movie just isn't going to make $1bil. or delay it another 2-3 years until that becomes more likely.
I'm most concerned now about that closures in China and Australia and how much revenue the film stands to lose with that, and if that will push them to delay it again given that they've been clear they will only release it when it can be seen in theaters everywhere.

I hope they've changed this mindset because there is literally no way theaters are open uninterrupted everywhere for years. When you have countries operating under zero tolerance policies, it's a high-stakes gamble. If they are open in Europe, UK, and US, they should just go for it. It's not like this is something just impacting Bond.
Total agreement on the 50th anniversary not mattering. Skyfall made a bazillion dollars because it was an amazing film with genuine award buzz due to its image and outstanding acting performances. A lot of Bond fans, I've noticed, tend to ignore that part.
These zero-tolerance policies are frankly delusional, and yeah I really hope they've adapted to the circumstances but they seem very stubborn and determined to have the biggest box office debut ever, which the franchise absolutely deserves, but will not happen til at least 2023 I think.
Yeah I cringe every time I hear someone mention the 60th as a selling point. Nobody cares.
It would be cool though if they used the 60th to announce the next actor though, but aside from that it literally means nothing.
LOL Nice picture
Yeah I think part of the reason films have struggled recently, in addition to Delta, is that what's released has kind of sucked! There's no reason to go to the theaters — even for the vaccinated. Give the people a reason to go!
Do you have any information to back this up? You've alluded to having "sources"
Of course the person right next to you could be infectious.
But that's like winning the lottery. We will have to live with that risk. It will not go away. Not next year, not in 10 years.
But then: even IF the person next to you (that has to be vaccinated or tested aswell) is still infectious, you would not get severe ill, because you are vaccinated yourself.
When you're not vaccinated the risk is higher, of course. But even then you need someone who is a spreader right next to you. And that's not the case in most cases.
I doubt it. NTTD’s BO performance wont be impacted due to lack of interest or viability of the series. You can argue about the “product quality” of the last few films, but the series as a whole is still highly regarded. Its not a Star Wars situation, far from it.
This is, uh, not true. Bond has very little to do with the MGM deal, as MGM does not own Bond outright.
Normal people don't wait (like fans do). They forget about all the delays.
And there are movies, that got delayed more than Bond.
"Minions 2" should have be released in June 2020, now it will be June 2022, two years later.
I don't think anyone will say: "Oh, that was a long wait. I'm not interested any more."
Or "Ghostbusters 3": 1,5 years. People still will be intetested in the film.
And many more ...
Nope.
No movie will only be seen by fans.
And with Bond it's maybe 1% fans, 99% "normal" people.
Someone who goes to the movies and watches every James Bond film is not a fan.
A fan is someone who's engaged in everything James Bond.
But 99% of the people who watch NTTD in the cinema will be people who know about James Bond, who like James Bond. But those are not "fans". Those people don't care about when the movie was originally planned to be released. They don't care about how many trailers came out or what kind of information leaked. And they don't worry about delays and stuff like that.
The British secret agent arrives in the Principality in a tuxedo for the preview screening of the latest film.
The Opéra Garnier will host the big event on 29 September in the presence of His Highness Prince Albert II, director Cary Joji Fukunaga and Hollywood stars. Cast members, however, will not be present. The film is due to be released in cinemas on 6 October.

Wonder if Fukunaga will be at this and not the London one on the 28th or if he'll do them back to back?
Why not. Free food and booze etc is hard to resist...👍
Hell after how long he's waited for people to see his banger, I'd understand him going to literally every showing.
Who wouldn't ???? He's be mad not to.
Once in a lifetime experience....✌
If delaying one last time would mean grossing let’s say $150/200 million more shouldn’t they do it?
I’m thinking about this only because one last six months delay could be still kinda sustainable and I just don’t see how they can accept to gross just something like $500 million (likely a best case scenario if they’ll stick) after a 1.5 year delay…
Obviously, as a fan, another delay would be more than frustrating.
That’s the THR take about this situation, based on their sources.
One step closer now...
