With James Bond 007: No time to die, its release in Germany is currently planned for March 31, 2021, the alternative of selling the title to a platform such as Netflix, Disney Plus or Amazon Prime Video was also considered. However, since Studio MGM demanded a sum of over 600 million US dollars for the exclusive streaming rights and no provider was willing to pay this amount, the idea was rejected again.
