    I’m looking forward to entertainment headlines like “James Bond saves the world and the box office.”

    Seems Lupita might have been EON's first choice for Nomi....coz rumours had it then that EON were eyeing her for a role.

    I guess it's possible; you'd have thought they'd aim for a British actress though.

    Yeah, true....there were also Rumours of Jodie Comer too....British actress like Lynch & a 'Nomi' Candidate as well. It appears Lynch saw off some stiff competition.

    Comer makes sense, sure- I could well imagine they'd consider her.

    At this point everything's been delayed so NTTD is in good company.

    If normal service doesn’t resume for some time, it could have a massively positive effect on the box office.
    Imagine being unable to go to movies, then the first film you can see could be NTTD.
    Everyone would flock to it.

    Why would the delay affect this?

    Also the the fact that EON had the balls to move before anyone else is a pretty baller move on their part.

    California is in total lockdown (!) so that means the entire west coast tv/film industry is on hold. People can't go out to see the films even if they were in the cinemas! This has never happened before?! Incredible.

    The studios may have to bite the bullet and release on streaming and hope they can recoup some of the production budget, break even. I've no idea if big budget films can make millions via streaming and make sizeable profit, seems unlikely, but who knows, they may have no other choice but release online and hope for the best.

    Could No Time To Die be the first James Bond film not to get a theatrical worldwide release? It's looking more and more possible. With California joining other countries on full lockdown it appears we're in for the long haul. :-S

    We're easily looking at 6 months of rolling lockdowns or more. This will be devastating for economies.

    What would be the economics of releasing the film on streaming and charging $20 per view or something like that? Would that be a viable way to recoup the budget and make some profit?

    VOD is sooooooooo dumb....................Charging £20 for a film?!? Crazy.

    The best thing is to put it on a streamer you have a subscription to - like Netflix or Amazon. Then, charge perhaps £2 to view the 'exclusive theatrical' content. That £2 comes out of the direct debit you have with them.

    All the new VOD releases - The Hunt, Emma and Invisible Man - are likely on torrent sites already. People will find alternative means to watch these films than fork out £20 for movies they barely cared to see at the cinema for less money.

    More people would be obliged to pay to watch for a minor surcharge.....

    Once again, NTTD is coming in November. But if this situation gets worse than perhaps Netflix will become an option and soon will become our only hope.................

    That's just it is another thing will people who want to see a movie period have enough money or can afford to spend their money or be willing to spend money on a movie if they are struggling to pay the bills or get food. If this continues we might be in the great depression of the 1930s.

    Your business model is not exactly viable either. If it went on Netflix, it would still be pirated almost instantly - it really makes little difference if you have to pay $2 or $20.

    The only way Netflix would get NTTD is if they cough up an obscene amount of money that would entice MGM/EON.

    It's quite possible that prices for entertainment and travel will drop for a while. If memory serves, that happened after 9/11. A lot of things became dirt cheap, just to entice customers.

    The worry of piracy is laughable in today's world. Theatrical films end up on torrent sites the next day half the time, often in excellent quality. Piracy is not likely to influence the decision to go VOD or streaming (if it comes to that). Piracy happens regardless.

    Warner Bros Debates Whether ‘Wonder Woman 1984’ Should Skip Theaters for Streaming

    That's a 1 billion dollar film we're talking about here. If it happens, and by November the market won't be suitable for a theatrical release, that could lead to NTTD being released online.

    That is potentially a massive, massive revenue loss for WB. A hit like that could break a smaller studio that doesn't have any more IPs to back such a loss up with in the future.

    100% agree. I simply can't see how they could release NTTD in theaters in November. Even if the virus is stopped by November, this will be a global depression, the biggest in 100 years. Online release in November? Maybe. Theatrical release this year? Forget it.

    Why on earth should November not be suitable yet?

    And I see absolutely nothing that makes me worried in that article; typical "INSIDERS TOLD US" bs. For now.

    The discussions are still preliminary and have remained close to Warner Pictures Group Chairman Toby Emmerich and his top advisers, according to one individual with knowledge of the conversation. Even director Patty Jenkins and producer Charles Roven have not been brought into the talks.

    According to the Warner insiders, the preference is still to release the movie theatrically — but executives are considering a streaming alternative, probably as a direct-to-consumer offering rather than as part of Warner’s soon-to-launch subscription service HBO Max. The concern, the insiders said, is that there is no known date for movie theaters to reopen and there may be a shortage of favorable dates once theaters


    Release date of WWII: June.

    The main data we can look at concerning how long this coronavirus situation will last is Italy. They are now the main area of the outbreak, averaging over 500 deaths a day from the virus. Given they have done a very limited country-wide quarantine, their death-toll will increase exponentially for the next 2 weeks, based on the most optimistic scenario. Spain, Germany, France, the UK and USA are only a few weeks behind having a similar death-toll as Italy. It took China almost 3 months of total quarantine to drastically contain the virus. I am starting to seriously doubt cinemas across Europe and North America will be able to open before 2021.

    If a $30-40 charge per stream is the only way they could foresee a returning similar to what they were expecting from a theatrical release, I'm not sure they'd go for it. That's a hefty sum.

    Eon are riding the wave till at least October/November.

    If the situation is the same, then they have two options: (1) VOD or (2) delay again.

    By November, they would probably prefer to delay till Spring/Summer 2021.

    Basically, we are some way off from these decisions. Just remember, let's just wait and see for November.

    Maybe Apple will buy MGM in that time and we get it online.

    Have hope!

    I understand people wanting to see the film, but why would we hope for it to appear in a way that would seriously put it in doubt of being a financial success? Utterly baffling.
