No Time to Die has been postponed several times. The James Bond movie should be out at the end of this month, but now it looks like Daniel Craig‘s last adventure if 007 might get a later release date again.
Earlier this week, it was reported that other blockbusters have been pushed to 2022. Apparently MGM doesn’t want to participate in this, as a new postponement of the film would be very expensive and that while No Time to Die is the most expensive Bond film of all time.
Hoop
Some blockbusters came out this summer, such as F9 on A Quiet Place 2. This was encouraging and both films did quite well given the circumstances. MGM has the world premiere of No Time to Die before the end of this month and seems to want to continue with this. At CinemaCon 2021, it was said that the new Bond film would not be delayed again. However, don’t be surprised if this does happen…
A report obtained by the film website Variety does not only say that Top Gun: Maverick has been moved, but that No Time to Die might also be postponed (again) if the box-office numbers of other films coming out this month don’t increase.
The reason
So it says: ”Unless cinemas experience a notable increase in attendance, insiders believe ‘No Time to Die’ will have no choice but to be postponed again”.
”The main reason for this is that veteran producers like Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson, who have unprecedented control over the world-renowned film franchise, won’t be showing the 007 adventure simultaneously on streaming platforms, although this could take some of the hit from declining ticket sales. help out”.
”It therefore remains risky to release the new Bond adventure, now that people are still afraid to go to the cinema. Every Bond film is hugely expensive and has to fetch hundreds of millions just so as not to lose out”.
Example
In all likelihood, MGM will wait to see how Marvel’s Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings it will do, before they make a final decision. It’s also rumored that if the superhero movie doesn’t perform well, Eternals will therefore be postponed.
