it's up to 90 days here in the UK to get an extension on permission to fly at night and as it's for commercial flight that's not unreasonable - most stuff gets planned/story boarded months in advance for 'normal' photography, aerial should be no different. Getting releases signed, insurance in place, finding gaps in actors/model's calendars that all line up takes forever.
What kinda surprises me is that they are still granting permissions for quads to fly over congested areas or at night - there's talk over here that anything beyond normal permissions will require a drone with redundancy/the ability to fly safely if a motor fails.
