film give up on waiting for the pandemic to go away and instead premiere on a streaming service? Despite reports that originated with a Bloomberg scoop yesterday, sources say an emphatic no. Bloomberg wrote about a rumor that has been making the rounds the last week and a half, that MGM offered the film to streamers Netflix, Apple and Amazon for a proposed one year license of $600 million.
flatly nixed the deal and might have been surprised real negotiations were taking place. It sounds like MGM was over its skis, tired of waiting on a revenue event that the studio expected to happen a long time ago.We’ve heard right along that studios with numerous finished films shelved by the pandemic have had cursory talks with streamers, but cursory conversations don’t usually lead to articles.
sequel to Amazon. But many feel MGM and the Bond franchise would likely be better served hanging in. While MGM is working on asequel that Michael B Jordan will direct, and a new creative team is aggressively building a promising slate, Bond remains MGM’s crown jewel.has the opportunity to generate a billion dollar global gross in a healthy theatrical market. It is the 25th Bond film, and likely the last one to star.
The Bond demo is an older one, and barring a miracle vaccine that puts the pandemic firmly in the rear view mirror by then,might be a title taken to heart by a high risk demo that won’t flock to movie theaters to see what would be the film blockbuster in theaters. It is also conceivable that if a vaccine doesn’t materialize by the middle of next year, that the wisdom of a big bucks streaming bow for Bond might look much better.
An MGM spokesperson acknowledge the rumors but said the film will be released theatrically in order to preserve the theatrical experience for moviegoers.
I wonder what will happen if it’s delayed again? Will talks resume?
Can't wait to see it in a theater with crying babies and coughing idiots using their cell phones while eating with their mouths open.
If it was solely about money Eon would have sold Bond rights to Apple or Amazon in 2017 instead of MGM/Universal, Eon want Bond films seen in the cinema so they will wait until the majority feel safe going back to the cinema if that's next April or whenever
DrewMcWeeny looks like we dodged a bullet with this one!!! Phew........
DanielRPK Now is REALLY not the time for studios to be optimistic about theater survival since they’re already losing millions (in Bonds case, $50 Million) by delaying these films
DanielRPK Michael B. Jordan is directing Creed 3? Did I read that right?!
Not surprised they tried to get it on streaming and try and guarantee recoup their money rather then wait.
Its Daniel's last bond movie & releasing it on streaming platform is a Big ! insult These movies only deserve a theatrical release thats It !
Good this is the final James Bond movie with Daniel Craig. No Time To Die deserves to be seen in IMAX or Dolby or in any big movie theater screen rather than a small TV, Laptop or phone screen. I’m glad MGM shot this false rumor down quickly & keeping it to help theaters recover!
Good, would rather wait
Good, James Bond is a character that deserves a Cinema release
