MGM’s ‘No Time to Die’ to release in theatres first, not Amazon

NEW DELHI: Despite being acquired by Amazon Studios, Metro Goldwyn Mayer (MGM) Studios will not take its upcoming spy thriller No Time To Die directly to the former’s streaming platform but release it in theatres this October. The distribution arrangements for the latest James Bond offering have already been agreed upon, meaning No Time To Die should arrive in cinemas later this year as planned, barring any further pandemic issues, said a report by American infotainment website Screen rant.

To be sure, as theatres in the US open up, Hollywood is getting ready for an eventful summer of 2021 that could possibly also benefit the Indian box office, whenever cinemas here are permitted to reopen.
