  • I don’t think they will make a big deal with Nomi being 007 since Bond voluntary resigned. He comes back only because the mission is deeply personal to him. Then, Nomi is 007 from the beginning, as the international trailer confirmed. He learns she’…

  • There’s no way the film is gonna end with him back at MI6 imo… and the call sheets kinda confirmed it.

  • I’m pretty confident Nomi will be 007 from start to finish.

  • Yep copy pasted from Variety in order to be sure. XD
  • The head of the National Association of Theatre Owners (NATO) says that the consumer confidence about going to cinemas is at 72% in the US. A couple of months ago was at 80%.

  • Too tall to be honest. SP break even point was $650 million. NTTD’s run, given the delays etc etc, would need more money to become profitable, but not that more.
  • Nolan won’t ever direct a Bond film. Never gonna happen. Anyway it’s OT material.
  • F9 was always going to gross more than Bond. The last two did more than SF.

  • Yep. This is the first time they have a real choice since prior delays were fundamentally forced by the pandemic closures.

  • Unless further heavy cinema closures will take place in key markets or in some states like California, NY etc etc because of the Delta spread, and I don't see that happening, it would be ridicolous to delay it again. They tried, they failed, better …

  • I don't see NTTD outgrossing F9.
