That's really good.
For NTTD only 50% on the 2nd weekend would be better than SF and SP.
Yes. On the other hand is worth mentioning that a 50% drop from a $90 million opening is a different story compared to a 50% drop from a less than $30 million opening. Anyway that’s really encouraging!
Minimum 45 days I'd guess to PVOD - so Thanksgiving. Then Blu-ray/DVD late Dec/early Jan.
I think EON doesn't want a streaming- or Blu-ray-release before 2022.
They want to see the movie still in theatres during the holiday season, I believe.
And they don't want a digital copy online when the film just got the australian theatrical release in November.
And is everyone going to wear masks while they watch the film in the Royal Albert?
As there are no covid-rules anymore in England, they can do the premiere like in pre-covid times.
But of course it's not forbidden to wear masks.
Why?
hence minimum. But even looking at it pre-COVID, Spectre and Skyfall both landed on home ent in the US in January with a late Oct/early Nov theatrical release.
Wonder if they'll try to get NTTD on physical media for Christmas.
And it’s kinda hard to avoid restaurants. :D
*with a reduced capacity, obviously.
But the rate of people getting severe ill or die, when fully vaccinated, is very low.
So when you yourself are vaccinated, you would not have to be afraid of going to the movies at all, I would say. Not more, than before the pandemic.
As a non-vaccinated person it's a riskier business, of course.
And in addition you have air-exchanging systems in almost every cinema.
As I’ve been saying over the last couple of months, unfortunately, Bond will be lucky to hit the $500 million mark. Looks like it… :(
It’s not like this is going to hurt Bond in the long run. It’s understandable why it can’t make its ROI. Every film is “underperforming” so it’s not like people will treat Bond differently.
Say you put $20 for a lottery ticket, but you only win $20. You essentially got your money back, but you didn't make MORE money than you spent. That's kind of where MGM is at. If the movie makes $600m, it broke even, but it didn't make anyone richer than they already were.
At least, that's my rough understanding of ROI.
We will never in our lifetime see a time where the risk is down to 0.
So "almost" is as good as it gets.
Underperforming is obviously the new normal. F9 has now crossed the $700 million mark, something NTTD would never remotely achieve given the current times, and that’s still the lowest grossing for a F&F film over the last 10 years (F6 in 2013 almost hit the $800 million mark).
Right.
If it tops F&F9 it would be the most theatrical seen movie of 2021 (besides the chinese "Hi, Mom") worldwide.
I'm sure NTTD will make a lot of money post-theatrical release. MGM et al may just have to re-negotiate deals...perhaps they already have, which might be why we are seeing the release now.
