Nope. Each one just once.
On some days 2 or 3 movies in a row. So I did not go every day.
Here in Germany lots of new movies from all around the world get released.
I saw movies from South America, from Africa, from Asia ... - and of course I saw lots of classics. At the moment the Hamburg Film Festival takes place. For most european movies they have the cast and crew in attendance.
Today I just watched "On The Rocks" by Sofia Coppola with Bill Murray. Great movie. 76 people at the screening.
Tomorrow I will see "Nomadland" with Frances McDormand at the Hamburg Film Festival.
I understand that some people have fear to go to public events.
But fear is not the answer. You have to have respect for the virus and act according to the situation. And you have to know about the circumstances of the location.
Of course a theatre with and old or not working air condition is not a good place to sit with dozens of people for 2 hours.
But most theatres exchange the air in the room in less than 10 minutes.
It's almost impossible to get infected in that environment as you sit in a 1.5 to 2 meter distance to the next customer.
By the way: no masks during the screening, just entering and leaving.
That is not a good bet.
Hopefully they won't opt to wait until the last minute to delay again, if things are indeed just as bad, if not worse, at that point.
This.
I doubt they are. B26 probably won't even enter Michael and Barbara's minds until at least a year or two after NTTD.
I think Michael might retire after this one. His health isn’t too good and a lot of his ideas aren’t paying off.
Things’ll get better. They HAVE to. I don’t think any of us will stand for another year of what 2020 has thrown at us.
Exactly!!
Just when I started to convince myself it was coming in November...I even allowed myself to get excited about November!
Nevertheless, I 100% support this move. I'm a little saddened that they didn't go for February 2021 so they could qualify for the Oscars. I think they did a bit of a disservice to the talent in that respect - in particular to Billie Eilish and Linus Sandgren.
But I understand that the box office comes first. There's also no guarantee that the Oscars won't move again - especially as the situation worsens in Europe and the political situation in the USA.
In terms of box-office, Eon will have a healthy outlook in April 2021 than November 2020. It's also the 5 day Easter weekend, which will hopefully lead to a bigger box office take. We'll also have a better idea how films fare in a pandemic by that stage. Who knows, perhaps a $1 billion could be back on the table as a realistic aspiration for MGM.
The truth is this was a sensible move. Warner Bros have the IP and clout to release blockbusters to test the water (see Tenet). MGM are in a very different financial situation. Bond is their golden goose and there was no way they were going to sacrifice it by sticking relentlessly to that November date. I'm glad they saw sense and moved it.

Probably the most thoughtful and intelligent post I've read all evening.
Funny enough, for me anyway, those three have the same rating. More razzie than oscar.
I'm suspecting the entire awards season may be pushed back till later next year or maybe even postponed until 2022.
Why is that hilarious?
Sonic and SpongeBob will duke it out for Best Picture.
November 2021. All in. ~O)
Why should they?
You don't make much money with VOD, and no theatre will play a movie, that is already out online.
So there would not be a theatrical release at a later date.
The theatrical release ALWAYS has to be before the online release. It doesn't work the other way round.
I like 'No Time to Die' at the box office in 2020 better...... :)>-
