It wouldn't affect my enjoyment of the film, either. It's just an added dimension for me. I like to see the Bond films do well.

Summer 2020 is getting more and more empty. Sooner rather than later, late 2020 films will start getting pushed to next year.
I fear this may be true, especially with the current state of affairs in the US and the fact that we seemingly haven't even reached the peak of the pandemic in Europe, yet.
With that same logic, what makes you think that Spring/Summer 2021 will be any better?
NTTD is still in a fairly healthy slot with its Thanksgiving 2020 date. Remember we are only in April now. Hollywood is thinking around 3-4 months ahead as they are factoring in marketing and post-production costs. Finished films aren't worrying about this.
Word is that as soon as cinemas open again, Disney anticipate that they will only need 2-3 weeks to promote films like Mulan and Black Widow before unspooling internationally. We may see both before NTTD.
I do not expect cinemas to re-open before October/November. I would even not be surprised if there are no new movie releases until 2021.
Me too, it would be selfish if i only think about my enjoyment and not about the people who has worked so hard for the film. They need to be paid well for what they have achieved.
That's fair enough but that is at least 6 months away. That's quite a long time from now - things might hopefully pick up before then. I hope it does anyway.
Jesus, I wish everyone well, but calling me selfish because I can't worry about about a massive enormously rich studio losing a few million they're already prepared to risk is a bit rich. Everybody who worked on making the film have already been paid, anyone whose pay depends on the film doing well is someone who is taking a percentage of the gross, and if they're in a position to have negotiated that, they're already massively rich.
I don't wish anyone to lose any money, heaven knows most of us here are losing money through this situation. But the multi-millionaires taking a percentage from a movie release I reckon are going to be alright and don't need me worrying about them quite so much as the people genuinely struggling through this and doing something valuable for the community. Turn it in.
Thank for those! I don't think those cracks are fake though :D
Yeah, I think the Main reason why NTTD needs to be successful, is for it to give Birth to Bond 26. And Judging by how EON operate these days, it might take sometime to get Bond 26 together....even if NTTD becomes a Success, which it's looking to be. Now, let's imagine how long it would take to get Bond 26 off the ground, if NTTD doesn't turn out to be a Box-Office Success.
I don't think it will make all that much difference to be honest. No studio is going to look an underperforming movie this year and not suspect that the lack of profit might just have something to do with all the cinemas being shut and people not leaving their homes :D And the next Bond film is coming regardless, they're not going to stop making them.
Will there be a gap until the next one? Probably yeah because unless they're really pinning their hopes on persuading Craig back, they've got to cast a new Bond and most probably find an entirely new route for the movies. Last time they managed to do that in three years, so hopefully we'll be looking at something similar.
Indeed.....We all hope for the best.
I don't consider anyone who isn't interested in the finances of rich people to be selfish (why would you?), but I would certainly question anyone wishing for the film to be released in a manner that they know would almost certainly cause it to fail financially, as that will have ramifications down the line, even if those ramifications are only creative.
Of course, I say all this while understanding that it has been a long time (too long!) since we've had a Bond film on our horizons, and that everyone wants to see it as soon as possible. I'm disappointed with the delay, too.
But there you go. It is what it is.
Regardless of whether you agree with the above or not, I don't think we need to call anyone selfish. I saw another poster being called selfish for claiming streaming should be a last resort; the person accusing them of that stated that "Bond fans are likely dying right now". That wasn't fair on them, and I don't think using the word selfish for the reverse is fair either! :)
Very sorry for the long post. I promise this will be my last on the subject - I'll let @Contraband get back to doing his thing!
I think Cary's already got a few projects he's working on now, he's said in interviews that he's involved with a film about Hiroshima as well as Kubrick's abandoned Napoleon film (it'll be a miniseries if I recall correctly). I would love to see them both back on board though! It seems like they've got a great thing going on with NTTD.
According to my local cinema s website, NTTD still premieres tomorrow, but the cinema is closed, so it won t earn anything.
You should sit outside your local cinema with a sign reading “No time to die!”

Birds of Prey underperformed, but didn't lose money.
