I heard corona virus is nocturnal
Could they not announce that any day though
Not only that, but apparently all social network and social media posts related to After We Collided are enthusiastic and everyone mentions that they're looking forward to watching it at the movie theatre or had a blast at the cinema. Yet whenever Bond or Tener are mentioned everyone begins crying that it's an irresponsible thing to do.
So it's not just a matter of timetable, covid is more or less dangerous depending on what you're going to see.
Why is it dangerous to be in a bar or restaurant after 10 pm. What happens then?
That's not how theaters are being managed now. They've addressed the risk.
As folks get drunker, there is more spit flying around. That one I can understand, but the cinema rule is arbitrary idiocy.
The interesting question is how many cinemas still be opened by November if we have no big release for another month? Tenet's poor numbers are really hurting theaters in the US. In my local cinema attendance has gone way down again since Tenet is no longer a hot new product (has been released for 4 weeks now).
James Bond Day is when tickets are reportedly due to go on sale so if any change in release plan happens we should know by then (unless they want a repeat of the March situation in the case something does happen)
@Thunderfinger worth clarifying that the 10pm rule doesn't apply to cinemas and theaters, performances can run past 10pm - though seemingly can't start after 10 (so there's consistency across all hospitality and entertainment)
Very bad things, you don't to want know. I heard dozen of dozen bad stories of men (and even children) was were eating some food at table, some even with forks! The legend that after 10 pm, when Big Ben ring, COVID particules suddely spread out their mouth and are not being destroyed by sun beam. Horribles stories, people who survived it told.

Tenet just passed 250 million the other day, so I'm thinking by January we would hit that mark.
$300 million would make NTTD the 24th highest grossing Bond film in the franchise, with only LTK below it. Adjusted for inflation, that is. Tenet should finish above $300 million, so I would hope NTTD will at least cross $400 million, so it can also beat AVTAK and TLD to come near the top 20 highest grossing Bond films.
Whats the break even point for EON?
based off purely theatrical box office:
$200m budget + by this point I wouldn't be surprised if it's near $200m P&A (marketing), I'm guessing a 2021 delay will mean that point is definitely reached, minus whatever the sponsors like Omega, Aston Martin, Nokia etc provided... say, 300-400m costs. Then roughly half the box office revenue on a global level goes to cinemas. So $600-800m.
At this point it is *definitely* about minimising losses. A 2021 could lead to more losses than taking a shot in November - that's why Mulan went on VOD. One would imagine they might break even when the film goes out on home entertainment but at this point no way it's breaking even theatrically.
This might actually be a very smart move.
NTTD is now the NEXT big-budget release coming to cinemas.
I do think that has something to do with it, sponsors would be forgiving of the first delay but not a second, they have marketing campaigns and activity ready to go with inventory sitting on shelves now.
Also, we have to remember that a lot of NTTD’s budget is subsidised by product placement, so a $250m budget becomes $150m if they made a lot of PP deals, which they do.
I now see Black Widow has been delayed. Will there be any cinemas left?
Possibly not. We may be witnessing the death of the megaplex.
Tenet’s is $500 million. With a slightly smaller budget and less money wasted for marketing.
NTTD is gonna be the lowest grossing Bond movie ever adjusted for inflation. This is so depressing. Everybody is delaying but for them it’s not an option anymore. After all the work, the efforts and the drama put on this film, after a forced 7 months delay that came after two “artistic” delays, the longest 007 ever will come out right in the middle of the flu season during a pandemic caused by a respiratory disease. Incredible. But if they’re fine, I’m fine.
At least the longest running franchise ever will always be remembered as the one who saved the industry too, in its darkest hour. *being sarcastic
If my only option is buying it on DVD in Christmas, I lose all interest in the film. It was my most hyped film for 2020. Almost everything else in my top 10 anticipated films has been delayed to 2021. I quite frankly have zero interest in NTTD if my only option remaining is to watch it at home directly on Blu Ray or Netflix/whatever.
