It looks like because of the COVID-19 pandemic we will never watch the latest James Bond movie No Time to Die.
The newest James Bond film, No Time to Die, has been delayed again after having previously moved from 2020 into an early 2021 release.
No Time to Die has moved from its last planned release date of April 2 and will now be scheduled to open in theaters on Oct. 8, as confirmed by a new poster for the film debuted on Twitter.
The film, which stars Daniel Craig as the stylish spy, was set to open on April 2. But MGM announced on Thursday that it would push the action film to October 8.
This is the third time the film has been delayed since the coronavirus pandemic started. It was originally set to open in North American theaters on April 10, 2020.
The film, which cost an estimated $200 million US to produce, marks actor Daniel Craig’s last outing as agent 007.
Cinema owners were hoping No Time to Die would kick off a rebound in moviegoing. The pandemic devastated the film business in 2020, and ticket sales in the United States and Canada sank 80 per cent. That hurt independent theatres and big chains including AMC Entertainment, Cineworld and Cinemark Holdings.
The Bond franchise is one of the movie world’s most lucrative, with 2015’s Spectre raking in $880 million US at the box office worldwide, while Skyfall in 2012 grossed more than $1 billion US globally.
