The new version of "007" was delayed for 7 months due to a virus change, and $50 million was lost?

As we all know, the main threat of this virus campaign has gradually shifted from China to foreign countries, and perhaps dramas such as suspension of work, class suspension, and lockdown of cities will be repeated in other countries. The

alarm bell is ringing. Recently, Hollywood’s annual masterpiece "007: No Time to Die" officially announced a file change. The global schedule has been delayed 7 months from the original April release, and now it will be released in November.

has been waiting for 007 fans for several years, and collectively crying.

According to internal sources, this move may cost MGM the filmmaker US$30-50 million. This is not surprising. The new version of "007" has already thrown a lot of publicity. For example, the trailer for the Super Bowl alone cost $4.5 million.

postponed the schedule at this time, which is equivalent to tens of millions of dollars in publicity expenditures, but MGM still made this difficult decision.

In addition to the consideration of public safety, the reason for money is also obvious: If the film is released in April as originally planned, due to the impact of the epidemic, the box office loss of the film may be hundreds of millions of dollars.

This is not alarmist, just look at the Spring Festival file that China was tragically destroyed not long ago.

The production cost of the new version of "007" is as high as 250 million US dollars, and the total cost is estimated to be close to 400 million US dollars, which means that the global box office has to exceed 1 billion US dollars to barely protect the cost. Thinking about

, it won’t work without changing the file.

However, the file change is a good thing for Chinese fans. Seven months later, the storm should have passed long ago. At that time, Uncle Dan's "007" is expected to be released simultaneously in mainland China.

For the troubled Chinese movie market and Chinese movie fans who have almost forgotten the feeling of watching movies, it is time to send some benefits.

Apart from anything else, just this kind of vacuum going into battle is worth the price!
