  • The thing about delaying again is, we don’t know where we’ll be in a year. And they won’t be able to just sit on a massive, 250 million, product placement filled blockbuster indefinitely. At some point they’ll have to see some sort of return on inve…
  • And please stop bullying people. If you think you have a strong case, there's really no need for it: Thank you Zekidk!
  • There is a difference between something maybe being necessary and wanting it to happen though. Nobody wants a delay. Everyone here would have wanted NTTD in theatres this time last year. In a perfect world that's what we would have gotten. But unfor…
  • And yes, with Wonder Woman and Black Widow being delayed yet again this past week, it is perfectly reasonable to assume another NTTD delay isn't impossible to happen. That does not make you or me pessimistic. Only the utter fruitcake that you quoted…
  • Expecting something to be delayed is hardly an optimistic point of view, is it? Thinking that that is being 'cautiously optimistic' is gibberish in my mind.
  • November 2021 has to be better than the very risky November 20. By this time next year a vaccine may have been rolled out. Case numbers are increasing in UK and there is talk of increasing lockdown measures if the group of six strategy doesn't work.…
  • I genuinely think that a February bump is necessary. I understand that the marketplace probably won't be much different at all from November. We will still have social distancing, capacity restrictions and masks. Here's a post supporting a de…
  • To expect the film to be delayed isn't ridiculous, considering there is an ongoing global pandemic. It means being cautiously optimistic. Expecting that something that you're looking forward to experiencing is going to be delayed isn't being op…
  • I just find it equally depressing / ridiculous that despite this being a James Bond forum, and that new posters and a new trailer for a brand new Bond film have come out - for a film that itself is coming out less than 2 months from now (in the UK) …
  • They already aren't showing up! So why would they feel insulted? My statement also applies to people (like myself) who have actually been going back to the cinema. Why do you think films are being delayed again this past week? Answer: Th…
  • The thing is, the completed films which have been delayed to Spring or Summer 2021, you can say "Oh well, fair enough. What can you do" and leave it at that. If / when those films are pushed back to Autumn or Winter 2021 or possibly into 2022, does…
  • The best compromise solution right now seems to be letting the US go - be it delaying a film there specifically, or going PVOD (again, only there), or just accepting the tiny box office if it opens theatrically at that time. This is part of Ant…
  • Bottom line is, these films have to come out one way or another, sooner or later. This continual circle of films being delayed and delayed doesn't get anyone anywhere.
  • Why do you act surprised and annoyed that the unwillingness of US audiences to go flocking back to cinemas are causing the delays of US blockbusters? I'm not surprised, I'm aware that the outbreak in the US is much worse than most other countri…
  • You'll have to explain how it is a good thing to keep theaters open when the box office is so low, that cinemas are actually losing more money since they reopened than while they were closed. The actual numbers we've seen in the past weeks do not fi…
  • Tenet might have failed but it's better to try and save cinemas than just endlessly move the premiere dates which will kill theaters anyway, just over a longer period of time. Absolutely. Say what you will about Tenet (I thoroughly enjoyed it -…
  • I think at the moment it's just Death on the Nile and Black Widow now, right?
  • Don't be so pessimistic. Warners have released Tenet knowing it will and can play longer on the screens, like films did in the old days, taking time to build up its box office. MGM, Eon, Universal will be playing the same hand with Bond - they know …
  • There are different kind of risky things to do: - going to a party: risky - going to a restaurant: risky - public transport: risky - travelling a lot: risky Why? Because there are lots of people chatting, moving around etc. - cinema, theat…
  • Not to be an ass but I feel like this line of thinking is what has so many of us taking the virus very seriously (at least here in the US) so frustrated. We all stay home and try to limit risky behavior and those that go out and "feel safe" are inev…
  • But as I said: it's a risk assessment. For some people the risks outweigh the precautions, and I don't think any Bond fan should feel obliged to watch NTTD in cinemas in November if they don't feel comfortable, just 'because' you're a Bond fan. Nor …
  • So, among the successful franchises with guaranteed box office like Bond, MCU and DC (Wonder Woman) someone needs to step up and take a chance. Maybe its Bond. It'll be promoted within an inch of its life and maybe it will the catalyst that gets peo…
  • Wikipedia has been updated now - it's 26th February 2021 in the UK as well.
  • Apparently it's still coming out in the UK in September - according to Wikipedia but they may not have updated that part yet.
  • Cripes, I only saw the trailer for that (for the first time as well, as I've only watched the first Kingsman film so far) last night when I saw Tenet!
  • Thanks for sharing that experience, @RogerJonMoorePertwee. A movie adventure you'll always remember, both of you! You're welcome RichardTheBruce. Thanks, that's very true!
  • I've not long got back from seeing it (my first cinema trip since Knives Out in December for my birthday). I thought that it was very very good overall. It was a very cleverly thought plot which I understood most of and the action sequences were th…
  • Not an awful lot of people going on holidays abroad right now, either... Actually, there seems to be a substantial number (at least from the UK) that are still going on holiday abroad at the moment - that's what I gather when I've seen BBC news…
  • Statistically speaking,you have a better chance of dying by driving your car to the theater rather than sitting in there with a load of strangers. I personally think that it's much riskier to go on holiday abroad at the moment than it is to g…
  • Just booked 2 tickets for opening night (Wednesday 26th) as well (early evening)! Really looking forward to it now. 😁
