Same time as reviews, 9am PT Friday.

And in other European territories too. Expect a whole lot of very vague tweets later haha

If only the general public could enjoy that same level of going above and beyond safety wise glad you loved it though! Just under two weeks to go...here's hoping as @SnokesLegssays it either doesn't rain or they cancel the run entirely (someone on another forum is claiming WB/Nolan are fighting over driveins in the US - was told also that his previous films didn't screen at them)

Yeah, exactly same time actually, 5pm UK

Cut by 9 seconds in the UK to get a 12A rating https://www.bbfc.co.uk/releases/tenet-film (UK version is 149m 50s, other countries is 149m 59s) Also speaking of UK, there are now three drive-ins screening it to date, two week engagements (Colchester and Newark-on-Trent from 28th, London from 31st). First booked for the 31st but then...yeah let's do this 160 mile round trip for that 72 hour head start (it's also a 'proper' drive-in with DCP projection and not LED screen)

Only France. Review embargo 5pm UK time/9am PT on the 21st -

Sweden apparently also getting previews on 22nd.

in fairness a US drive in did announce a few days ago they were doing 8/31 sneaks.

I'm guessing US tickets on the 21st. FYI - new poster and Australia is getting advance screenings...on the 22nd. Next weekend!

God bless WB UK

France getting 'previews' from the Monday (Aug 24) and there's been a couple DOM venues saying 'sneaks' from Mon Aug 31

Indeed but America may be the only country where they have to do this in the first place due to the situation there.

3 things with that Tenet PVOD thing 1. Will major chains go for it? Any discussion of it now would require a similar deal to Universal/AMC, which Regal publicly told Uni to fuck off with basically and Cinemark is ambivalent. Now if Tenet underperforms below even the COVID adjusted expectations in open states on Labor Day.... 2. WB's release plan for the US - it may very well end up taking *longer* than 3 weeks for NY/LA to get it. What's the point of putting it on PVOD before the major markets get it (given the positioning of the release as an olive branch to cinemas) 3. Nolan - seems to believe in the 90+ day as a matter of principle. They could also just...do what Universal and others are doing - PVODing it through iTunes, Amazon etc. Only Disney has set the watermark by doing PVOD on their own SVOD service. And perhaps only just in the US while rest of world gets it traditionally.

AMC earnings call right now - see thread

all of them are troll reviews

"Universal cannot announce a film will launch on PVOD platforms until after the second weekend of its theatrical release" - interesting...

Or, obviously COVID notwithstanding...you just go to the cinema? The price is that high on purpose, to still incentivise people to go to the cinema.

will surely be that $19.99 if not higher

Independent and arthouse cinemas have been contending with day and date for years and have...actually found ways to still compete? Hell here in the UK an arthouse chain has been driving the whole boat for the better part of a decade in the indie sphere. 'All tentpoles all the time' aside what this is really moving towards is theatres being a premium experience for enthusiasts. More expensive, less accessible locations wise, but higher quality of both the experience and the audience....

the press release I received doesn't but of course makes more sense for it to be for mid and lower budget titles. But if Bond sticks to November under pressure from international like with Tenet and US COVID situation is still bad that you have to do a staggered release... Oh and MGM is releasing Bill & Ted day and date. Unlikely they'll try get it into the major chains anyway though. But if they did want to try for Bond.....
