European cinemas boosted ‘Tenet,’ but will a second COVID wave close them again? - Along with uneven domestic box office, Hollywood studios are keeping an eye on rising infection rates overseas.
For all the talk of Warner Bros. releasing “Tenet” before American audiences were ready to go back to theaters, the studio may have caught the best window to release the $200 million-budgeted film internationally. Many major box office markets in Europe and Asia have contained the virus in the third quarter, giving “Tenet” the best opportunity to reach as wide an audience as possible in a pandemic-affected environment. So far, the film has grossed $217 million overseas, which Warner Bros. International Distribution Chief Andrew Cripps said equates to an estimated 30 million tickets sold despite the wildly uneven environments that “Tenet” has opened into around the world.
But whether or not “No Time to Die” moves could largely hinge on Bond’s homeland, the U.K.. Reluctant to close businesses again, Prime Minister Boris Johnson has announced a 10 p.m. curfew for business and other measures in an effort to drop infection rates as the country faces a second wave. While this will mean that British theaters will lose late-night screenings, it’s not yet a critical blow.
What would be is a drop in moviegoer turnout over the coming months or, if hospitalizations and deaths in the country escalate, a more widespread shutdown like the one that occurred at the onset of the pandemic. Either situation could force “No Time to Die” to move, as Britain has been a critical box office market for Bond with more than $100 million grossed for both “Skyfall” and “Spectre.” For now, a spokesperson for MGM said it is committed to a fall opening, with a U.K. release coming via Universal on November 12 and other countries getting release later that month.

Yes but it will probably cost tens of thousands of dollars to have the proper implants inserted. I'm not sure many of us have insurance that will cover this procedure. (Still, I'm only considering this topic from a US-centric position. If you're from one of those European-communist countries with guaranteed medical coverage, I guess this point isn't really an issue. Carry on, then...)
Wrong.
The fans are only responsable for less than 1% of the box office.
It's the "normal people", that never think about Bond until they go to see the new movie every 3/4/5 years. They are the ones that bring the money.
It's an admin issue but we're working on it.
That's dedication. I'd settle for it on the PS4!
Yeah as I stated earlier in this thread somewhere, this is much more likely to "save cinemas" than NTTD or any one or two films. Good to see the effort is being done by filmmakers and I am hopeful that something can be done in the future from a government level to ensure a majority of theaters survive the pandemic.
At least the official announcement is less blunt and more reassuring than last time.
scrap that too- CV is NOT going away, and the theatre experience is OVER. GONE. they just released the Eilish video; got product tie ins coming out every day. What in the world are they DOING with this thing? JUST PUT IT OUT ON STREAMING VIDEO.
Why on earth they didn't do this a couple of weeks ago. Will they reshoot all the merch ads or just release all that stuff anyway...
