The global release of the James Bond film No Time to Die was postponed to October from April, its producers said on Thursday, another setback for movie theaters trying to rebuild a business crushed by the corona virus pandemic.
The action thriller’s new debut date is October 8, according to an announcement on the James Bond website and Twitter feed.
No Time to Die, from MGM and Comcast Corp’s Universal Pictures, had originally been set to hit the big screen in April 2020 before moving to November 2020 and then April 2021.
The film, which cost an estimated $200 million to produce, marks actor Daniel Craig’s last outing as agent 007.
