Apple May Be Seeking to Acquire Bond Film 'No Time to Die' for Apple TV+

 

Can't imagine the insane numbers that Apple and Netflix are thinking of spending to make this happen. I mean it's a drop in the bucket for either of them, so streaming revenue brought in will more than offset whatever they pay to get the rights.

 

How many dollars to beam it into my brain?

 

this is the move - honestly buy this film and the Bond back catalog and put it all on Apple TV+

 

The price to make this happen for Apple would be a drop in a bucket

 

oh yeah absolutely - 2021 will be really interesting because movie theaters aren't going to be safe still and I really wonder how long these studios will hold onto these huge films for another year. stuff like Wonder Woman and Dune will continue to be delayed but I could see Disney moving Black Widow to Disney+ and I could see other movies (for example that Ryan Reynolds film Free Guy) being scooped up by Apple/Amazon/Netflix

 

Movie theaters are dead.

 

At least in the short term absolutely

 

Not a fan at all of this being exclusive to one streaming platform for obvious reasons

 

The next 2-3 years are going to be so bizarre for movies. I don’t even know what Hollywood will look like when all is said and done.

 

Yeah it’s a bummer but it’s what the future is trending to

home theaters will never be able to replicate the actual theater but it’s getting close

 

If anything, budgets are about to plummet.

 

I see Apple getting this over Netflix. ATV+ just seems more....platinum?

 

nah. they just have an easier infrastructure for PVOD. zero chance this will be free on apple.

 

Cowards

Honestly, of all the big upcoming blockbusters this was the last one I expected to go to streaming. I feel like there’s just so many brand endorsements/sponsors in Bond movies, there’s probably some contractual shit that demands it open in theaters

 

Good.

 

send everything to VOD. movies won't be in theaters for years at this rate.

 

Not NTTD related, but RIP to the OG Bond Sir Sean Connery.

 

Wait. Wasn’t that evident from the trailers? Or did I make just make that assumption...? I know Bond talking with M says “so I met your new 00” but I thought it was more explicit that she assumed the 007 after he retired.

 

I thought that was already confirmed?

 

I think it was implied, but they never came out and said it. I want to say all we knew was Bond was retired?
