Streaming services are fighting for bond rights No time to die. Is it possible that we won't see the film in cinemas?

The Variety server reported that the MGM studio once opened the film No Time to Die for sale for streaming services. The amount requested was, and now hold on, an astronomical $ 600 million. All streaming services, including Netflix and Apple TV +, have declined the offer. The rights to the film are not currently for sale, the studio said as follows. "We do not comment on gossip. The film is not for sale. The release of the film was postponed to April 2021 in order to preserve the cinematic experience for the cinema." Original article: We only recently informed you that actor Daniel Craig has to wait a little longer for his last mission in a James Bond suit. The original release date in the order of the 25th bond movie called No Time to Die was scheduled for this year, more precisely for April. The film was the first to pay for the current global coronavirus pandemic and was postponed to November.

Now the MGM studio had to intervene again, this time the premiere was postponed to April 2, 2021, exactly one year after the original planned release. But cinemas all over the world, including the Slovak ones, are still closed, the situation in the United States is no better and no one can guarantee that it will be better next year. One alternative is that another blockbuster skips the cinema premiere and gets directly into digital distribution. The new unsubstantiated report says that big streaming services are fighting for the rights to distribute the last bond game with Craig in the lead role. Please note in advance that these are gossip from Hollywood so far. So we will have to wait for the official confirmation. The report says Netflix and Apple TV + are among the platforms in the auction war for film rights. We are talking about really incredible amounts here, as the film's production budget alone was $ 250 million. Digital distribution might not be the worst idea in this case. For example, given that only recently Warner Bros. indicated that he was not satisfied with the financial result of the film Tenet. On the other hand, we have Mulan, which Disney sent directly to the Disney + streaming service. There she made a lot of money and at the same time got to the cinemas in the countries where the cinemas were open.

The film There's No Time to Die could be released in a similar way, which the combined release certainly wouldn't hurt. The current situation in the world requires an adaptation, which has already been launched by studios such as Disney, Sony or Universal. Although they still postpone big films and plan to release them in cinemas, they give other titles out digitally. Even the year 2021 is not a guarantee of open cinemas… The expected film No Time to Die will be the last mission of actor Daniel Craig in agent 007's suit. honor to portray James Bond. Originally, he planned to hang the suit on the nail after these four parts, but in the end he was allowed to speak for the last ride. Bond has left active service and is enjoying a peaceful life in Jamaica. However, his peaceful life is very short when his old friend Felix Leiter from the CIA asks him for help. His mission is to rescue a kidnapped scientist who is much more insidious than it seems.
