Probably 5-6m.

 

The OS minus China numbers are good, but right now thinking a final total of around 300-325m WW.

more from Deadline. Your 5-6 million seems about right, which makes the US numbers + previews even weaker

 

We heard that Tenet was No. 1 in Canada last weekend, some estimating that the movie made around $2.5M.

where are the Nolan fans when you need them. so the only place where this done well is Europe, welp

$300m WW may be the ceiling at this rate given how it's tracking OS and in China.

Why is Mulan being compared to other product on Disney+? 

 

IT'S BEHIND A PAYWALL.

Wasn't it forecast a $45M opening in china this weekend? So $30M is pretty bad?

OS-China should cross 200 mil at this rate. Seems like 350 mil is the ceiling to me. Still gonna be a big loss for Warner.

200M from OS-China, 55M in China. doubt it does 100M in North America now. probably more like 70-90 imo 

[Truckasaurus]

All other big movies this year

Honestly, I'm thinking about 60m.

 

Also, with South America in flux, that's a real barrier to getting 200m from OS-China.

Christmas most likely. Dune will just have to be sacrificed. The reason WW wasn't on Christmas in the first place is because that was the only spot they felt Dune could do well.

Warners believes that Tenet will have a longer run in theaters than is usually the case, versus boasting a mega-opening weekend.  Most analysts agree, saying the film has a shot at earning $500 million worldwide. If it doesn't, it will likely lose money.

 

500M needed at least a 100M from China so that's not happening.

WW84 will be summer 2021.

This is pathetic. 

 

You have Trump and his team to blame for prolonging the Covid-19 pain.

500 feels impossible. Even 400 feels out of reach.

How much money is WB getting from domestic grosses? 60%?

 

Producers usually get 40% from foreign grosses and 25% from China. So yeah, it seems this will be a money loser unfortunately.

Definitely not very good for Tenet, but I expected it after seeing many showtimes with no one in them over the weekend. Depending on how it holds next weekend, WB will probably just release it on VOD next month.

 

Not having NYC/LA certainly hurts, and perhaps it was just always destined to underwhelm, but it's also possible that movies are just not a priority for a lot of people at the moment. Not just because of the virus (forget about order crowds, who where also part of Tenet's target audience, returning to the movies in the near future), but also because a good portion of country was unemployed the last several months (and many still are). Gonna take quite some time until the market will be ready for any movie to reach its full potential again.
