MGM is said to have been on the market for potential buyers since 2010 when the company filed for bankruptcy and successfully climbed out under creditor leadership. Since then, MGM has continued turning out films for its most famous franchises, James Bond and Rocky, including three 007 movies and the launch of Michael B. Jordan’s Creed saga within the Rocky universe.

No Time to Die is currently slated for an October premiere in the United States, and after so long the movie certainly has built more hype than any other James Bond film before it. The film’s delays and MGM’s reluctance to sell it to streaming services like Netflix and Apple TV stems from its potential to yield over a billion dollars in box office revenue, which could at least triple the studio’s investment in 007.
James Bond’s No Time to Die is scheduled to be released in theaters on October 8, 2021.
