My country probably won't be open by August 28th and maybe even not by September 4th but there's no way I'm gonna subject myself to the horrors of a cam rip. I'm just gonna take all the precautions I can to avoid spoilers.

the usual wait time for hollywood movies to go on VOD is 2-3 months after theatrical release (before corona) but with the way WB are planning to release Tenet in a slower roll out and they want it to keep playing for more than 3 months means they will probably hold off the digital release as long as possible to make sure it earns its full potential in theaters. so I wouldn't be surprised if they have to wait to like Dec/Jan before releasing it on digital.

Ya, I'd guess a Christmas-ish digital release would be a good target for it.

Dunkirk was released in late-July 2017 but the digital release came only in Dec, nearly 5 months after its premiere.

 

We may see Nolan uses his power over WB to push that release date to later date.

Watch the Oscars suddenly get canceled to prevent that from happening. 

The Academy will do everything they can to have the Oscars this year, just so they can snub Nolan again.

Bad news for NYC theaters being open in time for the release of this:

Then how come they're opening gyms next week which are just as essential and even more risky than cinemas?

I suppose they can justify them as more essential due to providing a health service (both physical and mental after months of lockdown). 

Personally, I've never once gone bowling without getting sick, lol.

Gym and bowling alley does not have a specific time when everyone want to get in or out as well, making it much easier for some aspect of social distancing than movie theater

Nolan has no power to force theaters in the US to reopen, though.

You Nolan fanboys are really giving Nolan more power then he really has.

You can also stagger apponitments and scheduling in Gyms and Bowling alleys to make Social Distancing easier, something you can't do with movies.

True, though that is overstating it a bit. With showings staggered at least 20 minutes, if not longer, and capacity at 30%, it's no different than controlling access into a shop or supermarket. Yes, it is easier for a gym, but given the attendance limitations for cinemas, that will hardly be a stampede.

Well, Sea World is doing it at their stadium shows...so you CAN stagger departure at movie theaters, it would just take 2 personnel at the end of the showing to make it happen...one on each side directing departure at JUST the mega-showings (b/c 30% attendance at the 60 seat shows...ummm, is 18 people...and that's lower than pretty much any allowed group size anywhere right now)...

 

And arrivals are already staggered...

That is so untrue, just look theatres around the world. The protocol here is very strict and works ok, with social distancing, masks, etc. Cinemas with about 30% capacity, around 40 to 60 seats available. Concerts in big theatres working with about 700 seats with even more stric protocols to accomodate people and to leave. Also there is no people constantly moving like in the gym.

[dudalb]

Talk about it all you willm ost theaters in the major US Cities will remain closed for the foreseeable future.

Not to menton the likelihood that we will see another surge in Covid when Cold Weather hits.

Which leads to the question is 30 to 40% seating enough to convince studios to release blockbusters films...I don't think it is. I think the studios will wait, unless they are really desperate, for bigger seating capacity.

 

[RealLyre]

this whole "2020 won't have anymore major releases" rhetoric has already became irrelevant when Tenet, Mulan and New Mutants stopped getting delayed.

Mulan is going straight to paid streaming in a lot of markets and New Mutants is not exactly a major release.   
 

Tenet does mean that 2020 will get at least one more major primarily theatrical release, serving as a trial balloon for the rest.

Yeaaaah Mulan doesn't count in that context. If anything it proves the point: Disney didn't think the movie was viable in theaters anytime soon.

In the current climate that's counteracted by the number of screens they can take. Tenet has no competition here in the UK, so it's taking 90% or more of screens at open cinemas.
