Directed by Cary Joji Fukunaga and co-starring Rami Malek, Lea Seydoux, Lashana Lynch and Ralph Fiennes, the latest 007 adventureover the weekend — a result that would have been more dazzling had the film not cost $250 million to produce and at least another $100 million to promote.
“Going forward, business will continue to build, but it will be uneven,” predicts David A. Gross, who runs the movie consulting firm Franchise Entertainment Research. “Three steps forward, two steps back.”1. Older audiences aren’t ready to return to theaters “Older and family audiences are unlikely to return to full strength before the pandemic is completely behind us,” Gross says.
Expect upcoming tentpoles like “Dune,” “Eternals,” Sony’s “Spider-Man: No Way Home” and the Warner Bros. sequel “The Matrix: Resurrections” to continue that trend.Outside of Imax, moviegoing has hardly compared to pre-pandemic levels. Yet October, which isn’t a typically busy period at the box office, is shaping up to be stronger than historically lucrative summer months as audiences return to theaters.

Baby steps towards the new normal in this industry
The World Is Not Enough in 1999 was the last Bond film to open against direct competition as soon as Sony moved Venom 2 week before MGM should have know its not going to open as big as expected and moved it to Thanksgiving
In two weeks time can have the exactly the same takeaways for Dune while exhibitors will use HBO Max as an excuse but everyone knew that as Blade Runner 2049 its going to perform far better internationally than the US and that would have happened in normal circumstances
All of these takeaways for NoTimeToDie were know months ago nothing has changed over the last few months what didn't help it was being sandwiched between Venom 2 and Halloween Kills, Bond films while huge internationally and the UK play like Mission Impossible films in US
It bombed at the box office cuz Craig is boring.
You forgot the most important takeaways: 1. Advertising a movie as 'made for the Me Too generation' is awful marketing. 2. Shitting all over a beloved franchise and wondering why the fans aren't enjoying it is also an awful decision.
