That's probably just his 8 foot henchman, who also has metal teeth. Or maybe less excitingly it's just a 3D wallpaper? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BS2 Red Posted October 23, 2020 Report Share Posted October 23, 2020 Dunno how accurate this is (probably not very) but I really hope Netflix gets it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lrrr Posted October 23, 2020 Report Share Posted October 23, 2020 When they say insane numbers I wonder how close they're talking to the production cost, if the studio can make their money back they may see it as close as a win for now rather than an a bit better than Inception level returns. If it was sorted soon, could imagine a christmas debut for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin phantom Posted October 24, 2020 Author Admin Report Share Posted October 24, 2020 Sky and Netflix regularly show films on PPV that in the past would be at the cinema The new Borat film this weekend as an example Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BS2 Red Posted October 24, 2020 Report Share Posted October 24, 2020 According to Wikipedia, No Time To Die had a budget of $250million. I guess they'll want to make a profit, so it'd cost a streaming service at least $300million? I don't know how much Amazon paid for Borat 2, but that would have been a much lower budget film. If Netflix/Apple/Amazon pay for Bond, it's hard to see how they'd ever make their money back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Batman Posted October 24, 2020 Report Share Posted October 24, 2020 Some films are just built for the big screen though. Would be a shame but how much more do they kick the can down the road hoping for cinema's to reopen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve still kind of expected a movie studio to experiment with buying a cinema chain and release their films in them. They’d get entire ticket sales and confectionary income, only a couple of screens to account for less films. But could be filmed if 2/3 teamed up, they plan their release dates around the others and could have a cinema filled with release dates year round.

Could be more viable for them if they received everything rather than the cinema chain making money. I can’t see them wanting to put everything out on streaming services even if there’s a charge, look how little Mulan made compared to other Disney remakes of animated films. Being in cinemas is what they want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It makes much more sense to lease the films to cinema chains who already have the set up, in locations etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But why not just show it in cinemas rather than set their own up? There is no benefit for them to set up their own, it won't be worth the investment. The reason isn't the cinemas are taking a %, but streaming services are offering a lot of money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry probably not explaining it well, rather than cinema chains all but going bust and streaming services becoming the norm to release new films, im suggesting studios take over the existing facilities of cinema chains rather than those chains go unused and out of business completely.

But the reason they are going bust is because of the pandemic plus films being sold to streaming services. Just sell the films to cinemas first, and then cinemas would survive. Bond should of been the saviour of the cinemas this winter, now they are running dross left over and no-one wants to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Batman Posted November 25, 2020 Report Share Posted November 25, 2020 I've got the whole box set in the loft somewhere but I can't be arsed to go and find it. Maybe in the new year I will have a look. Quantum of Solace was on itv2 last night. Said earlier in this thread that even though its the worst film I've ever seen, gonna watch it again to see if it as awful as I remember. Olga Kurylenko though.

BS2 Red Posted November 25, 2020 Report Share Posted November 25, 2020 QoS is awful. Craig's a decent Bond but 50% of his movies have been crap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baba Yaga Posted November 26, 2020 Report Share Posted November 26, 2020 I actually think its pretty good, but she is also one of my favourite all time bond girls so maybe I am biased because of that. From what I remember its quite formulaic so it reminds me more of Brosnan than Craig's other movies, personally I think QoS is better than Spectre.

Baba Yaga Posted November 26, 2020 Report Share Posted November 26, 2020 I didn't particularly enjoy the big meeting scene in Spectre, in contrast there is a part in QoS where the criminals have a meeting in the opera which I thought was far better. Also didn't find the ending when Bond gets drilled in the head that good at the end of Spectre. I can't defend the song or the badly edited action scenes in QoS which are off putting but other than that I don't mind it, even the ending which apparently because of a writers strike was written in part by Craig himself wasn't that bad (if a little boring), I liked it when he got back the agent who made Vesper corrupt but I understand lots of people hate the movie because they see the movie as a poor sequel to Casino Royale. Don't think Dominic Greene was as bad as people make out either. Would be funny to hear the reasons why people hate this movie though!

BS2 Red Posted November 26, 2020 Report Share Posted November 26, 2020 I wasn't defending Spectre, it was mostly crap. Although the opening Day of the Dead section was as good as anything in any other Bond. QoS was just so boring. I'd have like it more if they had had the balls to go with this theme song though.
