With the PVOD release of the film already doing stellar home viewing business, all while continuing to hold well theatrically, \u2018No Time To Die\u2019 will earn a profit for MGM, both as an individual film title and as part of MGM\u2019s incredible library.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Regardless, the dishonest suck-ups at <em>Variety<\/em> are blaming the pandemic for Bond\u2019s shortfall, which isn\u2019t entirely unreasonable given that <em>No Time to Die<\/em> is indeed the top-grossing movie of the year worldwide.
