  • Cool.
  • Belloni also said the thinking is if No Time to Die generates box office of $600 million to $800 million “they’re going to be OK if they can do that.” That’s very optimistic!

  • As I said many times I’m more inclined to believe NTTD will stick, but what IF they will delay again? April 22 seems the only reasonable window, since it’s basically the only month that’s not filled with other big releases. It’s certainly far less c…

  • NTTD is a lost cause at this point and they know it. If they stick, they will lose a ridiculous amount of money. If they delay, they will lose money anyway without even being certain that the next release date would coincide with their expectation…
  • He said that they offered him the director chair for every Bond film from GE to SF.
  • Those are facts, not mental gymnastics. I’m not a doomsayer, I’m just realistic. A 65/70% drop off has always been considered a disappointment. That’s it. This is how a 67% 2nd weekend drop off is welcomed in the pandemic era: https://www.g…

  • Let’s just use the Stagecraft technology used on Mandalorian and save a lot of money, if the goal is reduce the budget. Anyway I’d love to see a modern Bond film sticking in just one cool locations, with very little variation and a bit of London of …

  • In order to be considered a success NTTD needs to gross something like $70 million during the first domestic weekend and $30/35 during the second (when Venom 2 comes out). That’s quite hard. :(
  • I’m 100% sure someone already pointed it out like 1/2 years ago. Anyway cool stuff.
  • ertert wrote: » AgentJamesBond007 wrote: » https://twitter.com/007/status/1427299115017424897 This is cool. Encouraging as it likely means that as of today 8.16, there is no delay planned. Last year they dropped a full 2 mins …
  • It’s a gamble, but as for now as I said many times, I think Bond would be very lucky to hit the $450/500 million mark if it will stick to its current October release date. I don’t see how it’s gonna be sustainable for all the partners involved. They…

  • Yeah. I really don’t understand this strategy.
  • The double vinyl release features another 4 tracks after Billie’s song: Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4. ???
  • I’m not gonna see the Gunn Squad but I’m pretty sure it’s a far better job than the abysmal 2016 Studio Squad. Anyway 81% Friday to Friday drop for TSS. I believe HBO Max is killing the simultaneous release’s legs in a way Disney+ Premier Access …
  • Gunn’s TSS overall domestic gross it’s gonna be lower than SS opening DAY back in 2016.
  • Whatever that means, the new 1 minute trailer is back again on the BBFC site.

  • As I said I believe this could be the plot before the Burns/PWB rewrites.
  • Go to page 739 on this thread. It’s definitely not 100% accurate, perhaps that was the story before the PWB/Burns rewrites… but the main backbone I believe it’s legit. As I pointed out before it just makes sense. Only the (Spoiler) making it…
