NO TIME TO DIE WEEKEND THREAD | Bond 56M, Venom 32M

Recommended Posts





The tracking at 100m earlier this week got me excited. Let’s see if it can beat that! Anything under 85m after that tracking would be very disappointing and mean the death of cinema tbh

Some real disagreement among pro forecast for the two top movies this week.   
 

BOR: 68, 32

BOP 84, 25

Geomean: 75.7, 28.3   
 

Take the under on bond and the over on Venom.

I know James Bond is probably the oldest blockbuster franchise but what was the first?

 

I said in an earlier post that I thought the Charlie Chan series of whodunits was the earliest franchise but I was clearly on drugs. The earliest recurring IP belonged to The King, Charlie Chaplin, who played The Little Tramp from 1915 to 1936. I can remember my grandfather talking about the line being around the block every time a new one opened, and how The Tramp was like a member of everyone's extended family.

 

NTTD: 62/173

$60m would be great for No Time to Die considering the pandemic, Spectre opened at $70m and it had a lot of goodwill from Skyfall. Over $70m would be excellent. I'm rooting for this movie, Daniel Craig deserves a great box office run for his final film.

I have no deep affinity for Bond. This isn't exactly Endgame for me. But I like Skyfall and Casino Royale. This was a really fitting farewell to Craig. I don't understand why people are expecting this to be divisive with fans? It has lots of callbacks to the franchise--great homage to Majesty Secret Service--and the ending is very sweet. Phoebe Waller-Bridge's fingerprints are all over the script and provides healthy dose of levity and humor. The Ana de Armas scene is a knockout. Malek is whatever but his scenes with Craig were compelling. There's about an hour of arduous plotting and exposition in the 2nd act but that's typical for spy films. For 160 minutes, it moves well. A bit too much handheld for the action sequences but they were well-executed

 

About 20 people when I saw at 4pm and they were mostly older audience. At 27, I was probably the youngest there.

Is Bond opening in China?

Last I checked it was, unless it’s revealed Craig pulled a John Cena or something.

Why do I have the feeling this thread will lose their muffins over V2’s drop?
