Because WB 99% of the time drops trailers at specifically morning times. Either 6 or 9 or 10am PT.

fucking late night show then I guess

please do not be on a late night show or is2g

but just because they can, should they? And - more importantly here imho- should studios (morally) be releasing big event films like this only in these still-risky cinemas, especially so early out the gate like TENET?

RIP to the upside down logo (I guess it will still be in the film but still, wasn't on the trailer teases and now this ) https://www.amazon.com/Secrets-Tenet-Inside-Christopher-Quantum/dp/1647220602/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=tenet+quantum&qid=1590048359&sr=8-1 Yup, this trailer is even okay for the August 14 release. So timings, no worries at the moment...

Assuming. Anyway, putting my feelings on release dates etc to one side today, I'm so damn hyped for this. Can't believe we are finally getting new trailers in general again. And Nolan's main theatrical trailers are usually absolute masterpieces so cannot wait.

It's fan art.

Maybe that's what they're planning in some territories

Fucking this.

Also quite obvious that Nolan is the deciding factor here as to why 1. this is still sticking to July, 2. this is the first major film out in cinemas rather than WW84 for instance and 3. why is WB even offering up a tentpole as an olive branch to theater owners as opposed to fleeing the summer like virtually everyone else save for Disney.

Oh and here's basically confirmation of what we've all been suspecting Warner Bros. executives acknowledge they will release the film only if the country’s two largest markets, New York and Los Angeles, are fully open.

Both Warner Bros. and Nolan declined to comment for this story. But those with knowledge of the plans describe how the studio is moving forward. The company has already conducted cast and filmmaker interviews for so-called “long-lead" journalists, monthly magazine writers, by Zoom. It also is preparing to drop a second trailer online in the coming weeks — one more trapping of a company preparing a major summer release.

read this for a balanced debate of both sides of the issue from actual cinema owners: https://www.the-bigger-picture.com/articles/when-should-uk-cinemas-reopen/

Opening the economy prematurely and risking that second wave when deaths are still in the hundreds and new cases are in the thousands (in the UK's case) is lacking in response. Not having widespread accessible and reliable testing and tracing - which we don't here - is lacking in response. Locking down the country WEEKS late after pursuing a dangerous strategy is lacking in response. Maybe that's why the industry is so silent on that whole debate because it is so intertwined with politics. They just take governments at their word - there's no reason from their POV not to reopen if the governments give the green light. The assumption is that when the governments say it's safe it will actually be. Guess the public and those calling for a delay can afford to be more skeptical.

Again, based on other countries. The problem at the core of this and people in general hoping for it to be delayed is the US and UK governments' lacking response to the virus. "The country's reopening is premature, its government response unacceptably lax - and its cinemas simply unsafe, no matter how many temperature checks they perform at the door."

Or it - obviously I hope not but that's the risk if governments reopen too early before the number of new cases really drops low enough like it has in most countries reopening to date - contributes to that second wave...

Between that and NATO lobbying Cuomo to allow NY cinemas to reopen, yup..at the moment, anyway.

Yup. Anyway back to where we were before with this clarification:

So...could this trigger the delay?

Moving a bit from the whole cinemas/COVID discussion, the making-of book has been retitled: The Secrets of Tenet: Inside Christopher Nolan's Quantum Cold War https://www.amazon.co.uk/Making-Tenet-James-Mottram/dp/1647220602

Looks like July most of the world will be up and running (at the moment, anyway), including China. Only big question marks are US and the UK where there's such a clear rush to reopen before the science really supports it, and are also the biggest/most important markets. As noted in the reopening thread, here in the UK, July 4 is the earliest date.
