For what?
It's already 6 months late and has had more than it's fair share of problems. Its had a lot of press and they have been pushing it more than previous films I think, which is normally a bad sign. Not completely out there to think they might take the excuse and extra time to do some fiddling in the edit room.
It's not Cats.

I find it hard to believe that with less than a month to go this is down to anything more than a suspected drop in audience numbers due to “that” virus.
The film must be pretty much ready to go. I bet the RAH has already had a rehearsal for the premiere.

Yep there is no way they'd pull it now just for reshoots, score would probably have been done and film ready for release.

Marketing had literally just gone into overdrive with the release of pre-sales so timing couldn't have been worse, lots of unrecoverable costs.

But that make sense.

I was an explanation with mystery, deceit and red-edits.

I like how they think coronavirus will be gone by November. If anything there will be fewer people as we'll all have croaked at this stage.

Imagine so, we booked at the Selfridges Cinema and received an email re refund within a few hours of the announcement.

Bit of a gamble by EON and they’re in something of a no-win situation.
Release as planned and it plays to empty cinemas, or delay and miss the crest of the marketing wave that was just about at its peak.
‘Course this will have knock on effects beyond No Time To Die, especially with a new actor inbound.

Ok so just watching Goldfinger and something has occurred to me.

If, when it flies out of the UK, Goldfingers car is sort of made out of gold won’t it be a hell of lot heavier than when it flies back? Surely one of the BAF pilots might have reported this to the appropriate authorities as his C of G figures would be all over the shop. In fact, could a knackered old Argosy even take off with a half gold car on board?

Just a thought.

Worse than that, it was a Carvair - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aviation_Traders_Car... the cargo space was only in the nose.
