    So much marketing dollar already lost here. Feel bad for all the creatives who have invested their time in effort into an April release only to have it scuppered.

I guess teh only positive is that they will have a wealth of time to tweak the film, especially in editing, but I wonder how many unintentional leaks we will get in the future because of the long time from the final edit of the film to the new release date.

    I don't expect them to tweak the film. I bet that whatever film we would have had later this month will just be released in November.

    Ouch! This will seem like the longest wait ever for the longest Bond ever...

    Damn! Just as the promotional machine had reached its full speed and we were awaiting element such as the soundtrack release etc. Besides just being torture for us fans, I don’t how they will manage to reinflate the hype balloon which was starting to get buoyant.

    I'm devastasted with this. It is understandable,though.

    When they're delaying the movie because of Corona I think November is the best choise. By then the whole Corona thing will be effectively over and November has been the traditional Bond release month for Bond since the 90's. I wonder when the delay was decided? The last promo video and TV spot came very recently.

    I hope EON uses some of the extra time to start working on Bond26.

    But who knows, what the corona-situation will be at in November? I‘m not foreseeing the world’s end but it might actually be worse...


    Funny thing is they said: „The 25th film will change everything.“
    Couldn’t be more true...

    Yeah, this is my thought too. They'll just sit on it. Wonder if bioterrorism was involved in the plot.

    I wonder if they'll be able to stop any illegal copies of the movie getting out
    given how long it will be basically " sitting on a shelf " ?

    I'll be keeping a keen eye on what cross promotions get bumped forward now.

    Omega and Billie Eilish are somewhat spent promotions. Partners such as Tom Ford can hold theirs back. I imagine Zimmer's album will be delayed through to November as well. Wondering which 2020 book releases will be pushed forward as well.

    haha yeah its like pulling the handbrake on a formula1 car

    of course the virus will be in november as present as its now is, but not in the media and thats the point. they will get tired to report about this till nov., the virus-media-hype is on his peak right now and this collides with the release in April, unfortunaly.

    I work in a cinema and since corona reached europe the number of visitors become far more less :/ the whole retail markt suffers from corona
    I really looked forward to the April release but can understand the delay-decision

    I m sad and disappointet too :# but AJB is the best option to fill this time :)

    What could be the consequences of such a remarkable delay to product placement strategy of the various brands ?
    Don't see a lot of people running to buy the new Omega now that the hype will cool down necessarily....

    Of course we can't know for sure, but according to experts this type of epidemics tend to have a timeline and Corona should be pretty much over by November.

    Having just bought a 75 inch TV with Dolby Atmos soundbar and subwoofer, I would be quite happy for it to go straight to BluRay, so I can enjoy it in self isolation :))

    Thanks EON!!

    I have booked my flights for the premiere in London and will now lose the money!
    Pretty sure that I am not the only one.

    I know I’m abusing this thread as Twitter and this will be the last time:

    But the way how the announced that wonderful delay, (for me) shows how much they give about us die-hard fans. NTTD is now on its 4th scheduled release date and not one word of „sorry“ to all of those who highly anticipated coming April. 5 years of nothing and not even now one word of sorry!

    London will still be here..? Probably quite empty too!

    Who‘d have thought that!

    I am regularly in London and the plan was to drive 400 km and take my friend‘s son to the premiere from Duesseldorf. He won‘t be interested in a London trip alone and I‘ll have to make the way down to Duesseldorf and back from Hamburg to still do that flight them by myself.

    Annoying decision driven by $$$. I know that's what drives decisions, but still annoying. Ordered tickets yesterday, came out on my bday. So hyped. Not delayed a month, or 3. But nearly 8. Very sad :(
  • ThunderpussyThunderpussy Behind you !Posts: 63,792MI6 Agent
    I think there will be many fans out of pocket with this delay. :#
    My daughter has told me as I'm not on Facebook etc, that there are
    loads of very angry fans out there posting some very angry things.

    You have tickets to the premiere? They can’t be cheap: I’m sure you’ll get reassigned to the rescheduled one.

    Hasn't the promotion of Bond films usually been paid by the money they get from tie-in products such as Omega and Budweiser?
    I guess the a sizable part of the cost of re-launching the promtion for NTTD in some months will have to come out of EON's own pocket.
