PAPA NOL∀N'S TENƎꓕ | August 26 internationally. September 2 "in select US cities" | 75% on RT after 228 reviews

Perhaps I'm projecting - no pun intended - but I'm really not seeing a big demand here in the UK for cinemas to reopen (other than from cinemas themselves) . It's just not something anyone I know talks about. Any movie releasing this year is taking a massive financial bath and its basically an act of charity.

What country is this in? That seems about right for the US.

Germany. But it's apparently just my city. I found other cinemas (e.g. in Berlin or Hamburg) that are screening Inception this week.

It'll be very interesting to see which cities get the limited releases and which don't, since the most of the major US cities (LA, NYC, Orlando) are huge virus hubs

I’m surprised Nolan agreed to this. The plot will be spoiled for domestic market before release.

I'd imagine he's willing to let that slide to 'save theaters'. That's been his goal all along

[WittyUsername]

Select cities, eh? I guess this ought to be interesting.

Seems like the opposite could happen. Pandemic-induced flop, the first flop of his career perhaps. But at least he has a good excuse.

my country isn't mentioned but it's opening in a lot of middle eastern countries so we might just get it

It will definitely flop if released in August and September. Might be needed though, as seeing it flop would clear movies out of this year finally.

 

This is definitely the most stupid thing, the 2 week delays keep theaters in a state of uncertainty. Would have been so much better to just end it and move to next year. If not for Tenet this year, WB might have actually done the delays with their entire slate already.

is it going to flop everywhere or just in the US? it doesn't have a release date for latin america or china yet.

This is a very real possibility if an outbreak gets tied to theaters. It's such a massive gamble, and yet no one seems to want to ask/answer the difficult questions regarding this.

 

I would also argue that if it bombs, it will also potentially kill the myth of theaters too. All the movies will move if Tenet doesn't reel in decent business and then it may prolong the amount of time studios are willing to open films.

WB and Nolan need to set up a press conference asap to answer questions about their thinking behind the release strategy, how they will ensure audiences are safe and what work they have done with theaters to decide which places are ready to open and which are not.

Tenet bombs (which is practically a certainty comparative to its budget) and then there’s no new films released until 2021 at the earliest as nobody wants to take a gamble. Yeah, I’d say Tenet being responsible for killing a lot of theatres off is a very real possibility.

 

I know a lot of international markets have handled this a lot better than domestic, but this is a dangerous game WB and Nolan are playing.

 

And that’s before we even get to the reports of “I went to see Tenet and all I got was this stupid COVID-19” as people from states where’s it’s opened encounter people who have travelled from hot spots to see it.

 

I’d still bet on a further delay in some markets, particularly domestic.
