looks like this movie is fucked before they ever decide to release it.
A new report claims that, due to the growing costs of No Time to Die, the movie now requires a box office return of $900 million just to break even.

Breaking this down,
No Time to Die was last costed at 214 million pounds according to Companies House in the UK, with the amount having increased from 199.5 million pounds due to interest charges. Now, a year later, that has risen to around 226 million pounds, or $314 million, and once marketing costs have been added into the astronomically priced mix, that comes to around $464 million at the lower end, making that the rough figure
No Time to Die will need to make in order to be profitable.
However, where the $900 million
box office figure comes into play is due to the split between the cinematic exhibitor and the movie's distributors, with MGM likely expecting to take around 50 per cent of every dollar spent on cinema tickets worldwide, meaning the movie needs to make at least $928 million. And thus, the most expensive James Bond movie was born.
