"No Time to Die" stands as a testament to the shifting landscape of cinema in 2021, where international markets, particularly China, have become essential to a blockbuster’s success. While its domestic performance was subdued, its global tally highlights the continued importance of overseas audiences for franchise longevity. Meanwhile, other big releases like "Eternals" reveal the challenges Marvel faces in retaining audience interest amid franchise fatigue.
