Thanks! Kon-Tiki was a very popular film that year, so I'm not surprised.
The trailers for this must be showstoppers because otherwise their is a serious danger that Bond 25 could come and go without the major audience really being aware.
April 8, 2020.
@Mendes4Lyfe This is inaccurate.
There was a snarky comment in the MI6-HQ write-up that only 12,000 people watched the event live on YouTube. Well, I watched the announcement on Twitter and numerous others watched on different platforms, such as Facebook or Instagram. So that report does not reflect the full truth accurately.
Additionally, BST in the UK had the announcement happen at 13:10 on a Thursday. Where most were at work or school - having to rush to watch it in the toilets or catch it later.
Since then over 350k views have been collected on YouTube. That's not huge compared to trailer reveal numbers - but the video is a fairly mundane and non-eventful video that lasts 20 minutes! Primarily, it was an event for the press and superfans. In that context, the launch did it's job.
Also, Bond 25 and Rami Malek were trending worldwide on 25 April. That was not just in the wake of Avengers: Endgame, but also the same day that Joe Biden announced he was running for President.
Plus, the inadvertent publicity that Craig's knee has generated more column inches than the launch event. In fact, from a publicity point of view, the injury has been a gift. It shows Craig's commitment to the role and promises the public that he's involved in the action. That stuff sells tickets.
However, I do agree that the trailer needs to stand-out. It's fairly easy to cut together a Bond trailer.....so I hope Eon don't screw it up.
Really this film needs to sell the fact that Daniel Craig is back for a final time AND Rami Malek is the villain.
Ahh. I was about to say, the answer was only a Google search away. Makes sense though, this thread was made way too early. We won't have a semblance of an idea of what the box office will entail for many, many months.
I would rather see the end of the franchise than those two.
Marvel have released their upcoming slate at Comic Con.
Rachel is in Black Widow, which will likely run into the tail end of the B25 box office.
Anything less than that and they should be really concered. Anything above that and everything is great.
I personally expect the movie to do less than SPECTRE...as of right now.
After the first trailer we'll see what we can expect and the quality of the movie is into play (which will be really important actually)
So...I think the hype for Bond slightly fell down after SPECTRE and especially after the 007 replacement.
The only thing which might be positive is if they market it as "last Craig adventure" which should boost those who will be on the fence for the movie.
So yeah, I think around 700-750m worldwide should be enough.
Surely 600m would still mean this is not a financial flop but.....it would be a sign of bad things...
And I'd like to believe Bond is just like Marvel, it's popular enough that people would see it no matter what so 500m is given as a starting point
The five year break could also be an advantage if they double-down on the BOND IS BACK angle.
Even still, my estimations are rather conservative - I'd say about $750-800million is reasonable at this stage. There's plenty of chatter about the film now so if they capitalise on that and we get more teases over the next month, that figure could grow in my head.
That's right, it's a double-edged sword.
Another set video in the next couple of weeks and then the poster and teaser at the start of August would be fine.
Were they? Who were those people?
Really? Your sources?
Where's the logic in that? A poster today or else the film will not be able to make 750? How does that work?
@Mendes4Lyfe graces us with his ill-informed pessimism once again, before skipping away without even the dignity of a response. He’ll be back in a week to once again dispense his vitriol.
Bond 25 is still over 8 months away, I doubt anyone in the general audience care about the film's poster and/or title as of July 22, 2019. Hell, is anyone on MI6Community going to boycott the film if they don't release a poster before August? Or even before September? Pretty sure @Mendes4Lyfe is just eagerly awaiting for new Bond 25 material so he can twist into more doomsday announcements. No poster? The film is doomed! A poster is released? It's so terrible the film will flop anyway!
The general audience won't care about a film until the theatrical trailers arrive a few months before – and leading up to the release. They don't concern themselves about the productions as they have other things to fill their time with.
Exactly. Until a first teaser trailer arrives, a poster and/or a title announcement isn't really important as the film is too far away to be on anyone's radar. Bond doesn't need a massive media campaign a whole year prior to release day like a superhero or Star Wars movie. The 007 franchise has enough clout for Bond 25 to pull-in audience without dozens of trailers, posters, clips, tv spots at this point in time.
People do know a new Bond film is coming, as has always been the case since 1962, so there is no need to stress or be in a hurry over anything.
Indeed. There's nothing wrong with having a longer campaign, including posters, trailers and small teasers, but the average cinema goer will only have a film on their radar close to the release anyway.
What's interesting really, is how they're going to market this film. Craig's last? New 007?
Yes, but it's more about timing than how much footage they've shot. They don't need much footage for a teaser.
SP's teaser arrived at the end of March, seven months before release. We're eight months from release.
So something is certainly coming soon.
