The release of the next James Bond film, “No Time To Die” has for a third time been delayed due to coronavirus pandemics.
The movie had already been pushed back twice, and will now debut globally on 8 October.
Hollywood, stated their decision to shove back their slate of films — including James Bond’s latest outing No Time To Die, the Uncharted movie, and Ghostbusters: Afterlife.
According to “Exhibitor Relations”, ‘No Time to Die ‘now has a release date of October 8th, Ghostbusters will be pushed back five months to November 11th, and Uncharted now won’t arrive until 2022.
The third delay of the anticipated movie, was enough to force theater chains Regal and Cineworld to close all their US and UK locations.
Bond’s ” no time to die” was originally slated for April 2020, then got pushed back to November 2020 and now to April 2021.
However, instead of releasing the movie on streaming, as other studios have been doing, MGM seems adamant on premiering the movie in theaters — but by the time it’s safe to do so, there may not be as many of them.
Meanwhile, AMC had warned investors that it’s about to run out of money, and other theaters also might not survive past the middle of 2021, lamenting that the Bond franchise moving to the end of the year is not a good sign.
More films are probably expected to be delayed as delay piles on top of delay since only a certain number of films can successfully premiere at physical theaters in any given period as a result of the dreaded covid-19.
