Hi - Okay so the summer is over and I'm back at my desk. And after months of inactivity the marketing machine for No Time to Die is firing on all cylinders.

Unless something happens to derail the release of the 25th James Bond film it will premiere at the Royal Albert Hall on 28th September. Sadly I'll have to miss this one.

However, the day before the premiere date was confirmed another delay was announced. The delay is limited to Australia only, although initially New Zealand cinemas got the same message.

And we also got what is billed as the final trailer for No Time to Die, which has some previously unseen footage. In fact there two different versions, one for the international markets and another for the US.

But how much will No Time to Die take at the box office?

MI6 HQ crunched some numbers and came up with figures that are well below what the filmmakers would have been aiming for when they started work on the film. Major studios are likely to be watching how well the new Bond film does with interest.

In the lead up to the film's release came details of a documentary about Daniel Craig’s tenure as 007. 

It's free on iTunes from today prior to the release of No Time to Die. The running time of Being James Bond (not to be confused with the website and YouTube channel) is 45 minutes and you get some more footage from No Tie to Die.
