McWeeny added: “The numbers I’ve been hearing the last few days are INSANE…”
While writing on his website, he claimed it is “increasingly likely” that the new James Bond film will be on Netflix or Apple TV+ in the “very near future”.
He wrote: “In the last ten days or so, at least six people have reached out to talk to me about what they’re hearing, and it sounds like those two streamers are currently the most actively engaged in conversations with MGM and, I presume, EON and Universal to pick up No Time To Die.
“When Apple TV+ comes to the table with a $600 million check (one of the numbers I’ve heard is actually higher than that) for a one-year exclusive window on a film, that’s a number that you have to pay attention to, no matter what your history and no matter how much you cherish the theatrical experience.”
