New James Bond film pushed back - again

The release of No Time To Die has now been pushed back to 2 April after being delayed once already.

www.bbc.com

You know, I'm not like some of you who just LOVE the idea of theaters dying so you can drool over the fantasy of only paying $8.00 for a brand new $200 million blockbuster spectacle worthy of the full theatre experience.

HOWEVER, this shit is just infuriating. While it's certainly not the movie theaters or movie producers' fault, they are playing along with the whole shutdown scam and it's cost them billions. Not sure why they are just bending over and taking it up the ass, but it doesn't matter. I've gotten out of the routine of going to the theater for these kinds of movies. So, I guess they got what they wanted from me. I wanted to see this movie and was willing to see it this fall, but now I won't see it in the theater at all.

ngl didn’t even know this was coming out

 

[Evil Calvin]

That is crap. As long a theaters space out the available seats it should be fine. I mean, Trump has thousands at rallies and he doesn't give a shit.................oh.............he has Covid!

 

[JayK47]

They really need to make this available on one of the many streaming services. Pretty sure other movies have done well with this during COVID.

kinda blown but fukking theaters still aren't open in my area. haven't even seen Tenet yet

Sorry people who were hoping VOD would take off.

You won't find any proof of this at all.

 

[Susurrus]

Well if Tenet's numbers are any indication, you can't blame them.

 

[Majima Everywhere System]

Release it digital, April still won’t be enough.

That's some awful trigger discipline.

 

[The Giant]

This sucks couldn't they just delay the american release and keep it normal for the rest of us?

 

[EverydayBeast]

The positive in this is the first couple of negative reviews will likely be addressed during the coming months coming out with alternative endings (mass effect 3, justice league etc.) love the timing spring is a perfect opportunity.

Who cares, she can trigger my ''weapon'' all day.

Another gaffer called this in the other No time to die thread.

The gaffer said it would be delayed until next year. I just can't remember who it was

The future of 100mil+ movies is interesting, because no one found the solution how to replace the cinema income. And personally I don't believe the news of how much money Disney has gotten from Mulan viewings.

The news is 60-90 million.
Not very much money at all.

April fools!
It’ll be delayed then too.
COVID ain’t going anywhere.

Fuck this film.

Cineworld 'could shut all 128 of its UK and Ireland cinemas'

It comes as bosses of Cineworld Group PLC, the world's second-largest cinema chain, are reportedly preparing to write to the Prime Minister to say the industry has become 'unviable'.

What?
You think another 20 million box office would save 128 cinemas?

 

[Foamy]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOÒOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

I was talking about this thread - https://www.neogaf.com/threads/mula...de-261-million-in-us-alone-on-disney.1566623/

 

[Windle Poons]

Citing that they want to make as much as the £200 million it cost to make back. By delaying it another 6 months thats not really going to help get any money back is it?

This covid thing will be around for a lot longer than next April, nobody is going to click a finger and 'BAM' 400 people in one sitting in a cinema. Its going to be socially distanced for the foreseeable.

If Bond was coming out this year, they wouldn’t be closing. That is indisputable. It would be more than 20 million in addition to government help for workers.
