Small consolation for me; those original APRIL posters *will* come in handy a second time around!
Hahaha that's the right attitude to have
This is getting ridiculous, we‘ve got the 5th release date/ 4th postponement for this movie now.
EON is trying to sit things out, casually postponing the thing ever so close to the actual release.
Member Miles Messervy has said it quite correctly:
They waste to much time in between the movies, this time it was waiting forever and a day for DC to make his mind up and then the debacle with the directors.
Truth is: nobody knows where the world will be going in the forseeable future let alone April next year so it’s bloody optimistic of them to postpone it to then.
Pretty sure the average movie-goer/ casual Bond-fan will loose interest at a certain point.
They should really face the facts and come to terms with alternate ways of distribution!

Check it out, you won’t be disappointed
This is sensible, but still disapointing.
I really hope EON spends the time well and use it to cast a new Bond and geet an ace script written.
If only those rumours of secretly filming 2 back to back had been true!
And JBR just made their first podcast in months
Adidas announced today. Smirnoff had a launch planned.
I assume there were official plans for World James Bond day on Monday...
1 - Moore, 2 - Dalton, 3 - Craig, 4 - Connery, 5 - Brosnan, 6 - Lazenby
The chance of a scale lockdown in the UK by November 11th is over 50%, the circuit breaker national lockdown is still very, very much on the table. Even with Tenet, Bill & Ted et al in theatres some cinemas that re-opened have closed again due to low (even allowing for capped capacity) numbers. They don't need to tell the future, they can see the present.
The one thing that really irritates me is their recent marketing campaign. The Eilish clip, the podcast, all the posters and trailers - They would have known full well two weeks ago that they were going to delay so why continue to mess with fan expectations?
This will have to be the last delay. Any further delays and the public will lack interest for a bond film that is 2 years old.
Yeah that is weird. Nothing left to market
It's not like making sure a brand partner can get stock onto the market place that they have to in 2020 for bottom line - which goes double in these straightened times.
I know they can see the present, that's not my point, my point is - why April 2021? The world might be no better at that point.
So I say they should have just released it VOD and accept it won't do as well financially.
I know the world is in a terrible state, I'm not denying it, but it's when they promise release dates that gets on my nerves. They can't promise April 2021, unless they have that crystal ball.

Yeah for sure.
When I saw the video release yesterday I thought damn it really is going ahead!!
I know, but theatrical release and big screen experience is in the DNA of Bond. It's event cinema. They will resist and resist and resist VoD, rightly or wrongly. I lean the former by preference.
They're taking the same punt other movies are that 2021 will have seen progress. They're obviously balancing that against wanting to get the film out ASAP so they've gone for what they probably see as the minimum viable delay of 6 months as opposed to late 21 which might be safer but maybe difficult for all sorts of reasons.
It sucks but they're just following their own profile and the rest of the industry.

'tis true. Although I do believe there's a stunning film sitting in the can...here's hoping it makes all the **** fade away when it finally rolls.
No small irony of course that the person most desperate for the next chapter is probably DC himself!
Praise to the forum admins for brightening a disappointing evening with the discovery that certain expletives are replaced with Brexit!
Cinema is indeed in the DNA of bond. But I don't think they have a choice here. This virus could be with us for years. What if the virus is still bad in 5 years time, and cinemas are still too risky? Cinemas could even be dead by then. It's awful, but they have no choice or control on this.
Nearing April 2021, there will probably be another delay to November 2021, and so on, and fans will lose faith and interest with each delay.
IMO VOD is the only thing they can do now.
