First off the idea of BO in the fall being easier to get is true since there would not be as much competion as in the summer but like dinovelvet mentioned since summer has much greater attendance then the same amount of BO made in the fall could be had in the summer in a much smaller time frame. The problem is that 2011 is looking to be another summer 2008 with a lot of event films but even in a tight summer you can still have blockbusters like in 2008 (which had similar competion to what we might expect in 2011) like Iron Man, Indiana Jones 4, and of course The Dark Knight so to be successful in the summer all you need is a good movie and like Indiana Jones 4, the name alone would sell itself so films like Thor, Captain America, or the Green Lantern film would be unknown to the general movie going public compared to a Bond film. Another aspect is the fact that some of the films that Bond 23 could be competing against could turn out to be duds at the box office or some films may have a summer release now but they could get delayed. My biggest point is if Bond 23 is more in the tone with the easygoing/Bond enjoying himself parts of CR (from all interviews I have read this seems what they are going for) then that is exactly what the general movie going public want and if Bond 23 can do that then there is a greater possible BO potential if you reach the blockbuster status in the summer compared to the winter since on name alone Bond would be successful like Indiana Jones 4 was able to do on name alone. I could see a June release day since the list Mister-White came up with seems to have practically nothing in June and thats really all you need in the summer is have an open month with no other big named films like Bond and it could easily make the BO Bond films usually make plus the potential of making a lot more.

They may not be following the news now, but trust me, once those trailers start rolling, people will flock. Especially for Cap.

It will all depend on how good the movies are. Iron Man could have gone 2 different ways. If the movie was not very good, it would not have made over $300mill in the US (see Wolverine). It was the good reviews that got non comic fans butts in the seats.

Cap will still draw a large number of people, though, because he's frickin Cap. Cap and Superman are two of the most-followed and most well-known superheroes. Plenty of non-comic fans go to the Superman movies because it's Superman. The same will be done for Cap, at least on opening weekend. Once reviews start rolling in, then we'll see.

They haven't even started writing the damn thing yet, pre-production would have to be at a reasonably advanced stage by now for a shoot starting Jan 2010 and release later in the year.

They may have started writing. If the announcement was made yesterday, it's fair to assume they may have already begun at the very least drafting story ideas. After all, they usually don't announce a director until work has already begun, and they usually don't announce the actors until they're pretty well into filming. And even if the decision was only made yesterday, by now Morgan or P&W may have started work. The fact of the matter is we have no idea what any of them are up to. Unless of course you have spy cameras in their bedrooms. In which case I am calling you SPECTRE from now on.

Part of the announcement was that all concerned are currently involved on other projects and therefore haven't started work on Bond 23 yet.

Also I suspect that after the (IMO unjustified) criticism of the QOS screenplay, I think this one will be slightly longer in development.

I'm more than happy to be proved wrong and be sat watching a new Bond film at the end of next year but I seriously doubt it.

My gut says March 2011.

It's rare for an "event" movie to come out between January and May.

Exactly no competition

[DamnCoffee]

So you're saying that Bond 23 won't be able to handle the competition?

Ok Mharkin If I say Summer 2011 I get everyone screaming "they can't handle the competion Cause well i don't know why but trust me bond can't compete"

If i say March cause of no competition "Well bond can comepete"


November seems silly

[DamnCoffee]

Well, November has been the normal time for the past 6 James Bond films. So I guess Eon doesn't agree.

If roger Mitchell was more agreable we would of had a different set of cirumstance entirely


Also are you suggesting that if they are ready fro a summer 2011 release they should wait untill a few fans feel comfetable with the release?

[DamnCoffee]

But they're NOT ready for a Summer 2011 release! You're just jumping to conclusions, again.

Look, I would love for Bond 23 to get a summer release, but Bond movies have been released in the fall for the past 14 years, I really doubt they'll change their schedule because of an impatient forum member.

[PPK_19]

It will be released in November yet again i'm sure, though remember it will have to compete with the 4th and final installment of the Twilight Saga, Breaking Dawn. Could be interesting.

I doubt if it will lose tickets to Breaking Dawn. BD might surpass it, but who cares? I know one person who is going to the Twilight films that doesn't like the books, and that's because he, like me, always lives up to his promises unless something beyond his control prevents him from doing so, and he agreed to go to all the Twilight films when all he knew was "It's about vampires". Everyone else I know planning to go is a rabid fangirl. Bond, on the other hand, draws in crowds of people who don't even like Bond that much. When I wanted to see QoS a second time and my car was broken down, I got my mom to agree to come along just by saying "Hey, can we go to the Bond movie?" She hadn't seen a Bond film since The Spy Who Loved Me back in '77.

And your assuming facts Mharkin. Honestly which is worse? You assume that Bond 23 will follow the same path as every other bond film since Goldeneye. I assume it won't due to bond 22's orignal release date. We are both assuming facts. Point is untill they give us a date no one has any clue.

Though if they release Bond 23 is gonna be a summer date I am taking a break from this forum cause I can gaurentee some will be imature and SCREAM about how dumb this move is and how the producers should stop doing bond films etc.

Wait people do this with every new peice of Info lol.

What Purvis and Wade did to garner such negativity from fans I will never know.

Then stop going on about it?

There were lines at the Gerald Schoenfeld Theatre early this morning, as people arrived to buy seats for what is sure to be the new Broadway season's hottest ticket, A Steady Rain. Playwright Keith Huff's two-person drama is starring major international film stars Hugh Jackman (Wolverine, X-Men) and Daniel Craig (the James Bond series) as a pair of Chicago cops. The play will have only a limited engagement, from September 10 to December 6, as the actors have film commitments after that. Because the show's Broadway run is so short, the tickets are expected to go very fast, so anyone interested in seeing Jackman and Craig together on the Broadway stage should hurry to get them fast.

It states that Daniel has film commitments after his play, nothing specific but maybe the start of Bond 23?

[DamnCoffee]

Interesting. I was expecting this to have quite a long run, considering it's Craig and Jackman. Looks like this won't effect Bond 23 after all.

Will they just announce a due date this 2010 vs 2011 stuff is driving me nuts.

And if one more person comes on here and says "all you have for late 2010 is cirumstantial evidence" well that is true for both years

[DamnCoffee]

I'm predicting that the producers will use the whole of 2010 to work on the script, secure a director etc..

The script will be completed around December 2010, title in January, and filming will commence around Febuary 2011, aiming for a November 2011 release.

Well I'll let you know from reports that Daniel only leased his new apartment in NY until after the play so maybe no filming in NY after the play (not that it was ever suspected)or not just yet.

I am with you on that timeline.
