Yup. Enough of the world is opening in time, California and NY were only holdbacks remaining

Well it's staying now.

It comes back to this chicken and egg problem - if not Tenet, what could work as a canary in the coal mine? Without Tenet/Mulan/WW84 major chains won't open until AQP2...and that's the problem (from their POV), being allowed to open but don't have anything to show and the reliance on studio content meaning they need that over indie/mid budget stuff

Yeah it's a legit spoiler - the call sheets they came from (which I've seen) are legit I believe

Only way I'm watching this opening weekend is drive-ins.

Sneider is claiming WB is looking for a new date.

Yup. Almost definitely

Apparently Roadshow has undated this in Australia/NZ...?

From the Total Film article (originally interviewed in April it seems):

That's ultimately the problem at the root of all this. There's zero incentive for WB or chains or anyone to not take governments at their word even when they are mad.

Based on how things went with Irishman, the right choice. Gets the full theatrical window and wide global release via Paramount, then just skips traditional home ent and goes onto ATV+ 16 weeks later or so. Criterion or similar Blu-ray probably too.

There's an IndieWire Zoom webinar happening - NY/LA apparently only make up to 12-14% of domestic box office according to Paramount’s head of US distribution - but he’s bullish on Tenet still opening on 17th…thinking it might not necessarily move if NY/LA aren’t open...

If November happens, the GvK date, Bond is surely gonna move to Nov 11 in line with OS release. And Widow possibly goes a week early like OS release...or both just get pushed to 21? And yes, June 2021. Most of the world's theaters should be opening up - as in governments will let them - by July. The question is will the US (LA, NY and other major metropolises) and the UK (currently set for July 4). And of course the factor is if WB/Nolan grow a conscience and realise when Trump/Johnson says things can open, they kinda should not...

Someone on Blu-ray.com forums is claiming November and June dates are being considered...which makes sense after the thing with Godzilla possibly moving to May

Disagree with the above - it's definitely a Hunger Games novel that uses the games as a springboard to go deeper into the inner workings of it all - which is what I always hoped for from any prequels etc. Torn between whether this is better served by being a miniseries or a film...but in any case, needs a new title. HUNGER GAMES X?

Yup.

Haven't really had chance to post my thoughts here but folks...this is gonna be a fun movie. This trailer sells exactly what I was imagining the 'Nolan does Bond' initial pitch would be. He's really really indulging - and clearly having a ton of fun doing so - the classic spy movie cliches (Russian villain? 'No, Mr Bond I expect you to die'? All the locations?) and putting his timey wimey twist on it. The trailer, especially in comparisons to the initial teasers and prologue, is surprisingly light(er) on its feet. Love the - I'm sure it's not Ludwig but still - Tron: Legacy-esque music here and the way Goransson's main motif comes in at the end is just epic, and the details such as the reverse fight moment having the score also seemingly reversed.... Pattinson bringing his best Tom Hardy/Eames in Inception energy here too. So glad to put the release date/state of the world and industry concerns to one side and just enjoy the hell out of this.

For those wondering why the logo was changed... https://ridetenet.com/pages/a-letter-from-nolan

New synopsis John David Washington is the new Protagonist in Christopher Nolan's original sci-fi action spectacle "Tenet." Armed with only one word - Tenet - and fighting for the survival of the entire world, the Protagonist journeys through a twilight world of international espionage on a mission that will unfold in something beyond real time. Not time travel. Inversion.

Probably best stream from the game: https://m.twitch.tv/manabyte_

There wasn’t on the teaser tv spots so yeah of course there won’t be here.
