Coronavirus Fears Delay Release Date for James Bond 'No Time to Die'

Due to concerns over the Coronavirus (COVID-19), the release date for the new James Bond movie ‘No Time to Die’ has been pushed back to November 2020.

The 25th installment of the franchise, and Daniel Craig’s final appearance as 007, was supposed to hit theatres on April 10th. Daniel Craig is even hosting Saturday Night Live this weekend (March 7th) to promote the movie, and Billie Eilish has already released her original song for the movie’s soundtrack. But the studio has decided that the global impact of the virus on the theatre going audience would hurt the film’s performance at the box office.
