In the meantime, there are enough Bond films that, if one decided to watch one per week, it might actually get one to the new release date of this entry in the series.

I should have known... they’d leave 2020 alone...

Just goes to show... that the films you'll see this year are just the ones you own...

We bought a pair / of tickets there / COVID didn’t care / Bond was my life but life is far away from fair.

AMC can survive for six months now without new bailouts and I think that's ambitious, pushing movies into 2021 is like believing in universal vaccine before summer 2021 and imo that is unrealistic, studios can forget a massive profit these days and should combine both theatrical release (where possible) and VOD.

I wouldn't even be this angry if they weren't literally spending last load of marketing just day before the news. This will backfire if they think April will improve the situation.

November 2021 should though... Heh.

Listening to the latest emergency pod from the MI6 HQ guys


Suggestion seems to be some discord between MGM and Universal. Delay was reportedly already being considered just as the marketing was gonna ramp up again with Trailer 2 on Tenet and Universal wanted to delay it sooner, but MGM forced their hand by greenlighting the new trailer launch.



If anything this entire situation is gonna be most heartbreaking for cinemas in the UK and elsewhere who were counting on this like with Tenet. But maybe it's for the best that the hand is forced this way to come up with a better plan of how get through the pandemic that isn't "status quo, same as before but onus on deciding safety/risk is on the audience" because is it really the right time for them to even be open?

DANIEL CRAIG: I'm so glad that I came back and did this last one, we had lots of loose threads we hadn't tied up. The story...it just didn't feel complete and I...I needed a break. I freely admit it. I just needed to get my head away from it for a while and once I had we started talking about storylines and things that we could do, where we could take it, and I was like, 'I'm in. Let's do this.' Do one more and try to finish the story we started in Casino Royale. And I feel...I think we've very successfully kind of continued that story all the way through. This was the chance to just round it off.

Streaming talks are happening but MGM not budging yet

I don't want it to go to streaming, but if it does, Apple TV+ is the play I hope MGM takes.

if it goes to streaming I can see netflix nabbing it

but I hope it won't

I really want to see this in theater

someday

I'm hoping for a streaming purchase and a limited theatrical release before Christmas.

So, looks like $600m for global rights is what MGM (!) is asking for


And no shit this is getting the Scorsese treatment if it goes to streaming. Hell, Mank is opening theatrically in 3 weeks.

Guys, I'm one dollar short...can anyone?
