Domestically, MGM and Annapurna Pictures will release Bond 25, with franchise newcomer Universal Studios taking up the distribution rights for the international portion of the film’s release.

So, when you see the Universal logo unfurl before the latest film’s gun barrel, don’t think you’re watching some shoddy bootleg.
With Variety’s recent reporting of the film’s status, the distribution picture has become a lot clearer, and just as interesting.
