Well deserved glad to see at least one actor end their James Bond tenure on a high

 

That's true lol. Diamonds Are Forever, A View to a Kill, Licence to Kill and Die Another Day. Although I enjoy all the Bond movies, even the bad ones, and AVTAK has one of the best Bond songs.

#FlopAlert???

 

 

 

Insiders say “No Time to Die” needs to make closer to $900 million to break even, a feat that would have been realistic had a global health crisis not entirely upended the theater industry. As a result, the film now stands to lose $100 million in its theatrical run, according to sources close to production. 

 

 

MGM's sad response:

 

“Unnamed and uninformed sources suggesting the film will lose money are categorically unfounded and put more simply, not true,” MGM spokesperson said in a statement. “The film has far exceeded our theatrical estimates in this timeframe, becoming the highest grossing Hollywood film in the international marketplace and passing ‘F9’ to become the highest grossing Hollywood film since the pandemic. With the PVOD release of the film already doing stellar home viewing business, all while continuing to hold well theatrically, ‘No Time To Die’ will earn a profit for MGM, both as an individual film title and as part of MGM’s incredible library.”

Tbf a lot of that was probably blown on having to stop and restart the marketing campaign twice.

Why is everything extremes?  No, this film is not a FLOP, and yes, it will probably reach profitability with PVOD, etc.  But none of that really matters because the line of measurement has been adjusted during this whole COVID-era.  MGM's response is not "SAD" -- it is their own executive point-of-view.  Variety investigates the "story" and enunciates the possibilities.  Stop believing in extremes, stop immediately being so cynical about the business, and stop believing that between MGM, EON, and the innumerable product placement corps contributing, that losing $100 mil. is actually any significant problem.  Barbara Broccoli will brush this off like Obama and some dust.  On to the reboot!

So, basically saying the same thing.    It's not going to lose money, it's going to make money.   Most films don't make  a profit during their theatrical run but still make profit.

There'll be plenty more Bonds but I do think the new normal of spending 300m on them is a bit silly. Filming on location is a must but tighter scripts would probably help.

 

The budget is also that high because of Producer fees (EON get a lot up front) and Craig's growing salary.  The later will be a fraction of the cost for the next actor and EON will probably have to take a cut upfront as well.

 

Looking at what Sony was making off them when they had them the franchise is only lucrative for EON, the star and then MGM in that order.

Does the NTTD production cost also include the money spent when Danny Boyle was attached? Assuming nothing like that happens for Bond 26, that should help it come in lower than this film.

It all gets rolled in -  previous salaries, fees, pre-production, re-writes etc. 

 

It's why Superman Returns budget was $270m and Tangled was $260m
