Push GvK to 2021. Or HBO Max, lol

Well that certainly helps with space

[Legion Again]

2021 is already jam packed though. Scheduling for the next two years has the potential to get really wild. We’ll see how aggressively the public/studios react.

BW -> Aug 7

Eternals -> Dec 18  

GvK -> Nov 7

NTTD-> Nov 20

F9 -> Sep 4

WW84 -> Oct 16   
 

Rough sketch. If first half movies need to get shuffled back a bit the good news is that 2020 Aug/Sep/Oct/Dec are a bit soft in terms of big movies anyway at the moment.

I like all the dates except F9. May be look at July . I think 2nd half of the year should be good. I will also flip Bond and GvK. Bond likes 1st week of November.

I wasn’t happy with F9, but July is pretty packed already. 
 

Spectre release first week Nov, Skyfall 2nd, Casino and Quantum week before TG

I’d be shocked if this release proceeds as currently planned.

Put Dune on HBO

[JGAR4LIFE]

They won’t push back this movie, it’s way too late

 

They can push back Black Widow and F9 though. The virus should be dead by May so if anything things should be back to normal in June.

Perhaps they might consider doing some kind of re-release later on the in the year to recoup any lost money. At the very least, it'll save them more money then pushing the film back and losing the hundreds of millions they've spent on marketing.

If NTTD has to be moved, I would think the most logical spot is October/November, the traditional Bond window.

The problem is is that they've already dumped millions and millions into the marketing already. With the Superbowl and whatnot

if they dont move it will cost 300-400m BO. That would be way bigger than marketing budget so far. Plus its not as if they have do everything again. Just announce date change and do web/tv marketing only close to release.

Too late for what? its all digital these days. They can change release date at any point. Plus with over 5 weeks to go to release there is still tons of marketing budget still to be spent that can be delayed. 

[Legion Again]

Beware the sunk cost fallacy.   
 

Besides, you waste less marketing $ delaying now than 3 weeks from now.

Here's an interesting possibility...bringing it forward to next weekend as opposed to pushing back

With European/domestic markets so up in the air right now, I'd say bringing it up could potentially kill its legs. Box office is still a marathon not a sprint, even though it's becoming more and more like a sprint.

That sounds like an exhibition disaster in the making if it's even remotely true. Is the film even finished?

It's Dailymail. Don't believe it lol

[JGAR4LIFE]

August is pretty open if they’re gonna push back any film at this point

The problem is the disease, not the marketing expenses.

DELAYED TO NOVEMBER

 

Called it!

 

"MGM, Universal and Bond producers, Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli, announced today that after careful consideration and thorough evaluation of the global theatrical marketplace, the release of NO TIME TO DIE will be postponed until November 2020."

November 25th in the US. Don't know if International release is earlier too but UK release is on the 12th.
