The film was originally scheduled to release this past April, but due to the COVID-19 pandemic and massive theater shutdowns as a direct result, the release date was changed several times. <em>No Time To Die<\/em> is now supposedly slated for April 2, 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With studios losing tens of millions of dollars on marketing for films that were never released, it isn&#8217;t too far fetched to think that they would try to sell off some hot properties to make back some coin. Studios like <strong>Paramount<\/strong> and <strong>Sony<\/strong> just recently sold the rights to <em><strong>Greyhound<\/strong><\/em> (went to <strong>Apple+<\/strong>), <em><strong>Without Remorse<\/strong><\/em>, and <strong><em>Coming 2 America<\/em><\/strong> (went to <strong>Amazon<\/strong>). The new <strong><em>Borat<\/em> <\/strong>sequel, perfectly titled <strong><em>Borat Subsequent Moviefilm<\/em><\/strong> was also purchased by Amazon, premiering this past weekend to Prime members at no extra cost, compared to <em><strong>Mulan<\/strong><\/em> premiering on Disney+ in September as a $30 purchase on top of the monthly subscription cost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">MGM has not openly said they were trying to shop the film around to streaming services, a spokesperson for the studio even went as far as to release this statement:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote has-text-align-center is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>\u201cWe do not comment on rumors. The film is not for sale.

The studio was apparently looking to unload the film for a measly 600 million, you know, pocket change. This actually makes sense on MGM&#8217;s part as this could have been in the ballpark as to what the film would have made if originally released in theaters worldwide back in April of this year. The high price tag was ultimately considered to be far too much for any of the streaming giants to bite at. If a sale of this magnitude was made, <strong>Kevin Ulrich<\/strong>, the chairman and CEO of MGM, and majority owner of <strong>Anchorage Capital Group<\/strong>, would exclusively lead the deal according to insiders. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The deal itself does seem pretty crazy, since <strong>Universal Pictures<\/strong> holds the foreign distribution rights for <em>No Time To Die<\/em>. This means that <strong>Universal <\/strong>would then need to be reimbursed for any expenses the studio would have encountered during this time. Producers <strong>Barbara Broccoli<\/strong> and<strong> Michael G. Wilson<\/strong> who control the <em>James Bond<\/em> series via their company <strong>Eon<\/strong>, have not yet commented on the situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Having the spy thriller moved to streaming sounds great from the at-home viewers perspective, but it does leave the promotional tie-ins hanging out to dry. The 250 million tentpole has lined up partnerships with <strong>Land Rover<\/strong>, <strong>Omega Watches<\/strong>, and <strong>Heineken<\/strong> amongst others. This would pose a real problem for those businesses who spent big money to make sure their products were properly showcased and advertised to the masses. Having a film go directly to streaming is a huge blow for the marketing department and could result in much less exposure for the partnered companies. The now Amazon owned sequel <em>Coming 2 America <\/em>starring <strong>Eddie Murphy<\/strong> will still hold onto their lead promotional partners <strong>McDonald&#8217;s<\/strong>, and <strong>Crown Royale<\/strong>, as part of the initial deal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The 25th entry in the Bond franchise starring <strong>Daniel Craig<\/strong>, <strong>Rami Malek<\/strong>, <strong>Ana de Armas<\/strong>, <strong>L\u00e9a Seydoux<\/strong>, <strong>Naomie Harris <\/strong>and <strong>Ralph Fiennes<\/strong> is still set to release in theaters worldwide on April 2, 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Are you excited for Bond 25?
