No Time to Die Delayed Again, Targets Fall 2021 Release

January 21, 2021

After being delayed a year from April 2020 to April 2021, MGM’s blockbuster 007 installment No Time to Die has now been delayed once again due to the current pandemic’s effect on theater attendance. The new release date shift places the film in the fall for an October 8, 2021 opening, where it will compete directly with Sony’s currently-scheduled Marvel movie Morbius. MGM’s own The Addams Family 2 is scheduled to open the week prior on October 1, along with Warner Bros.’ sci-fi epic Dune, the latter of which will be day-and-date in theaters and HBO Max.
