theatre.




No Time to Die reported for duty at the North American box office with an estimated opening of $56 million as Hollywood attempts to recover from the COVID-19 crisis and lure older adults back to theaters.

The Bond pic skewed male (64 percent), while 57 percent of ticket buyers were over the age of 35, including 36 percent over 45 years old. As a way of comparison, only 9 percent of ticket buyers going to see Venom: Let There Be Carnage on that film’s opening weekend were 45 and older.

Directed by Cary Fukunaga, No Time to Die is being distributed domestically by United Artists Releasing and internationally by Universal on behalf of MGM and EON. The cast also includes Lea Seydoux, Ben Whishaw, Naomie Harris, Ralph Fiennes and Christoph Waltz, along with franchise newcomers Rami Malek, Ana de Armas and Lashana Lynch.

More than 25 percent of No Time to Die ticket buyers said it was their first time going to the cinema since the pandemic began, according to a survey conducted by MGM. “This is the first meal that was served to an adult audience,” according to United Artists distribution chief Erik Lomis.

Separately, No Time to Die — which cost $250 million to $300 million to produce before a mega-marketing spend — runs a hefty two hours and 43 minutes, reducing showtimes and making it the longest in the franchise.






for me I think it’s the best Daniel Craig one I’ve seen.

the biggest worldwide film of the year (and second biggest non English film of all time) nobody has heard of here:




The film has grossed US$842 million at the box office, making it the highest-grossing film of 2021, the second-highest-grossing non-English film of all time, and the highest-grossing film by a solo female director. The film received positive reviews, with word of mouth contributing to its popularity.

If you're a fan of the books you should enjoy the movie. I did.

I hadn't read the books but I really liked the movie - great acting, and it looked and sounded amazing.  Definitely recommend watching it in IMAX and sitting close to the screen for the full experience.

A great film to consider is Krampus. Krampus is the evil opposite-Santa beast you don’t want visiting you with his presents. It’s a modern movie but I thought it was well made and had me locked in for the whole thing.

Krampus was invented when parents in Austria realized it was fun to have both carrot and stick approaches to kids' behaviour around Christmas.

Not a “movie” and it looks like they took the free version down but if you can get your hands on season 1 episode 15 The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air — Deck the Halls (1990)

sample: https://youtu.be/FtfFDjwjR5M and https://youtu.be/X_1lrP4dmbA and https://youtu.be/gDQa9mOghII and https://youtu.be/rmr07mZdbRQ
