Open letter
The news follows calls from Bond fan site mi6-hq.com to postpone the release date.
On Monday fans James Page and David Leigh penned an open letter titled No Time For Indecision.
It begins, 'With the Coronavirus reaching pandemic status, it is time to put public health above marketing release schedules and the cost of canceling publicity events.
'Delay the release of 'No Time To Die' until the summer when experts expect the epidemics to have peaked and to be under control. It’s just a movie.'
According to the BBC, film analysts have suggested that the coronavirus could have an impact on the global box office to the tune of €4.4bn.
No Time To Die is out in Ireland on 12th November.
