No Time To Die: Fans agree with release date postponement
For No Time To Die specifically, fans had mounted an online petition for MGM to postpone the release date.
The James Bond account's tweet references an assessment of the "global theatrical marketplace" as the reason for the delay. Instead of its mid-April premiere, No Time To Die will now arrive in the UK on November 12 and in the US on November 25.
In the meantime, "007" fans can focus on staying healthy and containing the outbreak. Many had expressed concern about missing the film on the big screen next month.
