China is one of the largest film markets and a release that potentially shuns the country could irreparably affect ‘ No Time To Die’ and its global box office earnings. Hence its new UK release on November 12, 2020, and US on November 25, 2020.
The ‘ No Time To Die’ film stars Daniel Craig in his final appearance as James Bond, one of the reasons fans are geared up for it. It also stars Lashana Lynch, Ana de Armas and Rami Malek.
