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

[Internet Enzyme]

I can't even fathom how much they would have to spend on this? (Really, does anyone have a guess?)

With that said, it would be amazing!!

probably a hundred million or so

With delivery fee, that popcorn will be $20. Soda? $12. 🤣

Can't you make popcorn yourself?

That said, the people who said it would finish-off cinemas are probably right.

Though, currently it does not look like they're going to make a huge profit, with people being required to wear masks...

Apple should definitely get the new Bond. They should have it in theatres 1 month before it is streamed on TV+. Do it ASAP! Waiting until Next year is chicken-**** lame.

if Apple acquires it, they will follow Disney's model - 29.99 to see the movie on ATV+ ...
I have no idea how Mulan faired for Disney but this will become the new model ...

Freaking amazing pickup. Big if true. MORE PLEASE!!

 

[jyw104]

Would be quite neat if it really did happen and they used the Apple logo for the 'gunbarrel' sequence in an announcement.

 

[GDF]

Would be nice, but that is one film I hope to see in the theaters. Not the same at home.

 

[Apleeseed84]

As long as the movie is still available at the movie theaters, they can buy whatever they like...


Bond deserves to be seen on the big screen!

it does but there were rumors also they were disappointment they were not getting the right quotes to stream this on VOD about a month ago hence the delay, if Apple TV + get this, they are heavily flexing netflix at this rate!!! Let the best win!! Theaters are shutting back down so not much we can do....

 

[Pakaku]

I'm okay with Apple making or getting their own content for their service, but I think I'm less okay with them taking an already-established IP like Bond or Peanuts and "hoarding" it to themselves

Probably $100M, though perhaps some formula with a high guaranteed payment plus a kicker depending on viewership.

Each time a movie goes direct to streaming instead of premiering in theaters, it's another nail in the coffin of the theaters. No home experience can compare to watching a movie on a huge screen with a huge audio system, such as IMAX.

I hope the theaters survive.

Best news I’ve read this week.
I love going to the cinema but it’s been dying a slow death. It’s such an underwhelming experience nowadays. Viewing at home is a far superior, and now healthier, experience!

This would obviously be a massive win for Apple TV+

Would be a massive win for me too: instead of paying 50 for tickets to see it, we‘d all chip in and pay a buck or something for a month of Apple TV.

 

[jz0309]

Daniel Craig = Best James Bond ever.

come at me.

As with everything, you are entitled to YOUR opinion...

 

[dazz87]

Here we go..........Apple does have deeeeep pockets.....timmy make it happen.

 

[Adam089]

I want Top Gun 2!

 

[JMO1]

This would obviously be a massive win for Apple TV+

Would they re-shoot every scene to involve James having an iPhone, tho?

would it be though? Top 10 largest “acquisition” in its history for them for a non rev gen movie. Idk.

 

[wood1208]

Awful for not able to see James Bond movie in theater. Let it be in theater and I will wear mask to watch it.

 

[genovelle]

Just buy MGM and not only have Bond, but start a new Stargate TV series. Do it! (they almost bought SG-1 a season 11 back in the day for iTunes but SyFy's contract didn't let it happen).

What an awesome show. Startgate Universe was not so good, but I still restart SG-1 that I bought years ago on iTunes and watch it all the way through then Atlantis and all the movies.

 

[j_l]

Oh and then Black Widow.. oh wait.

 

[Student of Life]

Im not sure it would make sense, love the concept but its hard to make money I think. Im ok with Netflix getting it.

I honestly don't even know what you said here...

 

[H.E. Pennypacker]

Would be a complete waste if it went to Apple TV’s 35 customers.

Cook. Tim Cook.

well, if you have an imax screen/audio in your house, all is good

(I also hope theaters survive, but many of them do not deserve to - an hour of trailers and commercials, sticky floors, crappy seats, screwed up audio, apathetic employees, overpriced snacks, etc.)
