Here in Canada, all NTTD posters and promotional materials have been taken down. It's a pretty obvious sign that it is delayed again.
shareOr maybe they are just changing them out for other posters?
What a stupid assumption.
You do realize that there are other films coming out soon that theaters would also like to promote right?
shareSure, and it doesn't surprise me at all that Bond has become so irrelevant in the Craig era that it isn't even worth promoting anymore.
shareBond irrelevant in the Craig Era?? Look how much praise Casino Royale and Skyfall received, as well as Skyfall being the highest grossing Bond film to become the first in the series to make over 1.1 billion. And you say Bond became irrelevant in the Craig Era. That's funny.
Also theaters can't just keep promoting one film in regards to its posters being displayed. They need to make some exchanges at some point to promote other films by displaying their posters in theaters as well. That has nothing to do with Bond not being worth promoting.
Yeah, the premiere is still few months away. I'm surprised they started promoting the film this far in advance. If anything, it shows how relevant and important Bond still is. Still, I'm not planning to see it in theater, because Spectre wasn't any good and it seems they have no reason to make any changes.
shareIndeed. This one is home viewing only.
shareWell I think many theaters promote a lot of films releasing a little far in advance. My local theater often displays posters and banners for films releasing in like more than five months so I don't think it's a matter of how far the film is away from release.
I see where your coming from because yes, I wasn't a fan of Spectre as well but I am still excited for this one because it genuinely looks great, Cary Fukanaga as the director, and the producers seem very committed to actually not fall in the same negative aspects that were in Spectre because of how much they want to send Craig off on a high note. That's one of the reasons this film was green lit because they didn't want Craig to finish his tenure on a film like Spectre.
That being said, of course that doesn't automatically mean that the film will live up. The producers can say anything but I have a lot of faith in this one.
>> Bond irrelevant in the Craig Era?? Look how much praise Casino Royale and Skyfall received, as well as Skyfall being the highest grossing Bond film to become the first in the series to make over 1.1 billion.
Pretty much a KO right there.
Normally these switches come out after the movie has been released.
Not saying the OP’s right, but I still think it’s weird if the posters are being taken down before the movie is even out.
Like I said, they take posters down to replace them with other films coming out. Eventually when we get closer to release, they most likely will display them back up again.
shareFrom what I gather we're still on for the following release dates:
30 Sep, 2021: United Kingdom
8 Oct, 2021: United States
30 Sep, 2021 is not this month(July, 2021). 30 Sep, 2021 is not next month(Aug, 2021). But yes, two months from NOW(Sep, 2021) the new James Bond movie will be released.
Hard to say. These are definitely not typical times. They may have only had all the Bond posters up because they had no other movies to promote yet. Then again. Our theater has posters up for a year sometimes. The front wall has about 50 slots. I'd say for sure though that they're definitely not spending any extra money promoting this thing. Seems like a John Carter situation where a big movie got caught in the crossfire of an acquisition and is just kind of getting dumped out there to fend on its own.
