Why will anyone do that? I mean $20 for a film for some days? Isn't Blu Ray at $20 a better option?
I think so. Absolutely. Unfortunately, a lot of people nowadays don't give a crap about physical media. There's no sort of sentimentality anymore, which is why digital reigns.
The standard price for new release blu rays here is $24.99 Canadian. i'd absolutely rather pay that than $20 or even $18 or something for a digital copy. The blu rays come with digital codes anyway!

Thank you @Eric Atreides or whoever moved the thread.

Sooo, is this still a go for July 10?
Also, could we get this thread moved to the main board and the thread title updated with the film title?

First film to open in January and cross $200M. That's a big deal! Thrilled for everyone involved with this film. A pleasant surprise, to be sure.
Oh, and I just picked up the blu ray! This one's a keeper.

When do you guys think we'll get a trailer for this? Filming wrapped on February 4 so they should be able to cut a trailer for release this summer.
-
So I imagine this won't be ready for December 2021. You wonder if Aquaman 2 will be shifted out of the December 2022 slot or if both these movies will release in the same year.

Is it just me or is discussion here starting to ramp up a bit outside of the Coronavirus thread? Seems like it is, which I'm happy about. I don't know about you guys but I'm sick of talking about the virus.

So I'm seeing two dates for this: March 5 and May 21. Which one? I like the May 21 date for this.
-
I mean, Campea is embarrassing, but that aside I would hope Pattinson is joking and actually plans to work out and look the part.
-
Gah! Can't wait! This is going to turn out to be an event under the circumstances.
Also, forgetting actually being able to go to the movies again, I'm really, really looking forward to tracking and following the box office again. How I've missed it!

Yeah, good luck with the stay at home through the end of July thing, LA. Most people won't have it.

Batman is an IP that could challenge $275m+ opening weekend if it reached its highest potential. It is 2nd to only Star Wars historically at the domestic box office. BATMAN, BATMAN RETURNS, BATMAN FOREVER, and THE DARK KNIGHT all broke the opening weekend admissions record. THE DARK KNIGHT RISES almost certainly would have done it had there been no shooting.
Opening in October to $125m or $140m is not good whatsoever given the power of the brand. The brand belongs in blockbuster season. Opening it in December would give it insane potential should it scare Avatar away.
I see your point, but I think what we've learned at the box office lately is that any movie well done and well recieved can succeed anywhere, at least as far as opening weekend is concerned. Overall domestic total is a different story. Total gross can definitely be helped or hindered depending on the time of the year (aka Christmas).
We saw It explode for a $123.4M opening in early September! The weekend after Labor Day weekend. Whatever opening The Batman has over the October 1-3 weekend I sincerely believe would be the biggest it would have anywhere on the calendar. People who are interested aren't not going to show up just because it's not summer or Christmas.

I just love the October date for this. The first weekend of October has been lucrative for certain films in recent years (2013: Gravity; 2015: The Martian; 2018: Venom/A Star is Born; 2019: Joker) and October just feels so....Batman-ish.
The other reason movies on this date have flourished is because they have their own lengthy period to flourish before the holidays start in mid November. The same will be true for The Batman. I'd rather that than adding one more big film to the always stacked holiday slate.

This warms my heart somewhat. I truly did not expect the numbers to be that even.

So will this make the September 11 date? If so, looking forward to getting a trailer and some more info.

Imo this is going to drop HUGE from the first. Halloween 2018 was a novelty, getting to see Curtis back in the role. imo this is going to do something like 30/65 whenever it releases.
Oof, that would be pretty rough.

Watched Tag yesterday.
8/10
Had a lot of fun with this film! Loved the slow motion, Sherlock Holmes-esque scenes.

Sure, but that would be assuming those people who got sick at the theater don’t spread it to others unknowingly who for example are going to the grocery store getting necessities.Or spread it to workers
The way I see it, you could spread it just by going to the grocery store. Period. Eventually we have to get back out there in the world. I'm not saying now, but eventually. The problem I foresee is whenever that happens will be too soon in many people's eyes. You're going to see a ton of discontent with re-opening strategies from people who think we should just live like this indefinitely.

If more than a handful number of people catch COVID from going to see Tenet at the theaters, gonna look like mega assholes.
Nah. The choice is left to the people whether to go and risk it or not. Theatres won't force anyone to go. If I go see Tenet on that date, God willing, and I end up getting sick, I'm not going to blame Cineplex. The blame will only fall on myself.

Ghost Protocol made bank over Christmas/New Year's. The holidays are just as good of a fit for this franchise as summer is.
Oh I know the holidays can easily be a good fit financially for these movies. I just meant to say on a personal note I like these films in the summer.
-
What do you all think of the pre-Thanksgiving weekend date for this? I personally love the summer dates for these movies but this could also work really well.

FYI - if theaters are open, people are going to go. This whole thing where everyone stays home forever is hilarious. 95% of people will be pouring out of their homes ala China post-lockdown. Hell, there are a lot of people out RIGHT NOW...
This! We don't have to debate what's RIGHT or not. It's simply a prognostication and everyone can make of it what they will.
I for one would LOVE if I could see Tenet in July! Nolan/WB are clearly holding out until the last possible second.

Just cut my hair today. Totally fudged it so I had to settle for not quite a buzz cut (4mm all around). Sigh.
COVID-19 - go the fuck away!

Hmm, maybe a limited debut in October/November, then wide over Thanksgiving weekend?
