    No Time To Die | October 8 2021 | 82% on RT | RIP Sean Connery

    in Box Office Discussion

    Posted · Edited by antovolk

    AMC have been populating their showtimes ahead of tickets going on sale (presumably Monday like the UK). Alongside Craig Era marathons at select venues on the 8th, first screenings of the film are happening from the morning of the 9th for IMAX and Dolby, and from 7pm in regular format. And seems like no 70mm IMAX prints in the US as the Metreon San Francisco, Citywalk LA and Lincoln Square NY venues are marked to show this in laser.

    What you are referring to is a 1:15 minute promo, which I would equate to Endgame's 1 minute special look.

     

    The second and final full trailer for SPECTRE, which is the one you shared, came four months before release. The teaser trailer was about 7 months from release.

     

    As you mentioned, the first trailer for NTTD has a lot in common structurally with that second trailer for SPECTRE. That's why I don't believe another trailer is on the way. And no, I don't count 1 minute previews as trailers. If you want to, by all means.

    ...that trailer showed in cinemas globally attached to THE WALK so...yes it absolutely counts.

     

    I'll be shocked if there isn't a second theatrical trailer on the way, no matter how long.

    I’m beginning to doubt we are getting another trailer, given the global rollout is in 6 weeks. Not that this needs another trailer, first one did it’s job, and the recent TV spots are engaging and have been strategically televised.

    The final Spectre trailer came around three weeks before UK release. I'm guessing along with tickets on sale (confirmed for UK to be on March 2).

     

    "No Time To Die opens wide April 10, with early access IMAX screenings starting the morning of April 9."

    They are handling the domestic marketing?

     

    Because that long, genetically edited, spoiler filled trailer screams “Universal”, and not just because their logo is on the front.

    All of it. They even talk about it in one of the more recent books on the franchise, they commission the agencies, do the briefs and essentially most of the work incl. the creative side - MGM/Universal would just provide the infrastructure to launch the stuff and sign off.

     

    Look back at the Spectre trailer...very very similar

    That is weak on any number of levels.

     

    Highlighting this as the 25th film makes this one seem less special, not more special. Now it's just another number.

     

    It also implies that little has ever changed in the preceding Bond films, which is absurd. Also, SPECTRE "changed everything" when it haphazardly tried to link the prior Craig films.

     

    So is this implying that the plot of this final Daniel Craig film will retroactively affect every single Bond film prior to Craig? Will this be affecting whatever actor plays the part next? I'm not sure how that's possible, unless they bring in a new actor and want to pretend it still Craig's Bond somehow.

     

    It's just a weak and generic marketing hook. Should have been something conclusive. God bless EON's inept marketing department.

     

    Fixed - remember the Broccolis are calling the shots here...and yeah for whatever reason they really don't want to make a big deal out of this being Craig's Endgame moment.

     

    Anyway, from the IMAX earnings call just now - the film will be released "a few days early" in IMAX cinemas. presumably meaning domestically here as international release is so early anyway (world premiere Mar 31, UK release April 2)

    I'm not going to be taking this information about the 3-hour runtime with a pinch of salt so much as with a fistful of salt. 

     

    Then again, as the tweet says, the film is still being edited, so it's possible the final film will be a good deal shorter than reported.

    The biggest thing supporting this ATM, aside from as I mentioned previous Russian distributor runtime leaks like BR2049, is that there have been clapperboards spotted with scene numbers reaching 250. By comparison, Spectre and Casino Royale final scenes were around 205.
