This is the real win: From Deadline Hollywood 2012 “Meanwhile Fandango surveyed more than 1,000 Skyfall ticket-buyers and found...54% said Adele’s new theme song increased their awareness of the movie...” https://www.google.com/amp/s/deadline.com/2012/11/skyfall-opens-with-imax-midnights-as-321m-bond-movie-abroad-arrives-in-u-s-canada-spielbergs-lincoln-platforms-368990/amp/ Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The release date for this song was perfect: Valentine’s Day. The Brit Awards performance will keep this song popping for the next week. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

History has a way of realigning these things. OHMSS, FYEO, LTK and QOS have all been reassessed favorably. OHMSS is now a classic. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Dr No., From Russia With Love and Goldfinger. Also, I’d say the first six Bond films are are fantastic, iconic and near masterpieces of big blockbuster cinema. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Not that it matters but I wonder if the NTTD tv spots were shown during the ceremony “internationally”. In the States, I only saw entertainment commercials for Disney owned properties, e.g. Fox FX, Marvel, ABC, etc. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Do you know if it ran during the Oscar ceremony? Just curious. I saw it during the red carpet pre-show on E! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I can’t remember where I read this but pieces of the song (not sure if it was the lyrics or arrangement) was part of Amy Winehouse’s early demo for QOS. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hot take: I prefer Tomorrow Never Dies over Surrender. I like Surrender but it’s a little too on brand for a Bond song. Also, Lange’s voice doesn’t do much for me. On a side note, I love The Living Daylights but I also wish The Pretenders’ Where Has Everybody Gone was a title song. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It’s interesting because, anecdotally, NTTD seemed to have a bigger reception (through upvotes and comments) on Reddit’s r/movies than any other Super Bowl spot. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I think it depends on whether or not the producers or composer or director have a particular artist in mind. Tomorrow Never Dies is interesting because there several demos floating around. If I’m not mistaken, the Swan Lee song was sunset used for one of the Hitman games. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

While not scientific, the upvotes and comments for NTTD’s Super Bowl spot on Reddit seem to indicate a better reception than any other movie that was advertised during the game. https://www.reddit.com/r/movies/ NTTD has 5.4k upvotes compared to Black Widow’s 644. Even in r/marvelstudios, BW has “only” 1.2k upvotes. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-7956427/James-Bond-film-No-Time-Die-longest-180-minute-running-time.html No Time to Die runs to two hours and 54 minutes - though it may get longer The near-three hour film is a 'big gamble' for producers, a film critic said The script was 'constantly added to' and plot was changing, a source alleged Daniel Craig brought Phoebe Waller-Bridge in to make the script more 'woke' She was adding in pages and team were shooting more, making it 'chaotic' There’s a lot of hyperbole in the article but I think the takeaway is that this film will be Craig’s epic send off.

You’re right. I didn’t mean to sound as if I was offering an alternative narrative. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

From what I’ve read, Lupita turned down NTTD because of scheduling conflicts. Interestingly, Rami’s scheduling conflicts between NTTD and Mr. Robot were resolved because Universal stepped in. Universal produced Mr. Robot and is releasing NTTD overseas. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I don’t think the filmmakers are oblivious to Spectre’s reception but they obviously feel there’s a satisfying ending to tell. I feel the trailer was less of a teaser and more of a level set after five years. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

To be fair, I don’t think the moral of the story is that audiences don’t want serialization in Bond films but that QOS and SP don’t completely work. Although, both have admirable, even good, elements. Also, QOS and SP were both box offices successes. QOS made $586m against CR’s $599, and SP made $880, which is the sixth highest grossing film of 2015. I think people are underestimating Bond’s box office appeal and over stating the course correction necessary for NTTD to be a box office and critical success. SP left a bad taste in people’s mouths but so did Die Another Day, and the following film (CR) became the highest grossing and most critically acclaimed Bond film of its day.

No Time To Die opens Easter weekend. Given the property and the holiday, I think we can expect a 3-day and 4-day larger than Bad Boy's 4. If it opens to $85+ million, like Skyfall, over the 3-day then a $100 million 4-day is on the table.
