I’ve never been to a drive-in theater. There’s none around me. The place that used to be a drive-in theater is now a drive-in church. You read that correctly.
And now, here's Anthony with an open letter to Mr. Christopher Nolan- Dear Christopher Nolan: Please release Tenet in July so that the immune like me don't have to wait any longer to see it kidding
This is independent from your fight for the theatrical experience, for which I have immense respect. Your essay in the Washington Post spoke to the shared experience we all love, and I admire the way you’ve used your success and platform to push theatres toward your grand vision of celluloid exhibition. But the movie industry has to balance its will to survive with a will for people to survive. The theatrical experience will keep. Indie cinemas will innovate in their programming to sustain audiences. We might lose a few multiplexes along the way, but as James addressed in his article, we can handle that. What we can't handle is theatres full of people re-enacting that one scene from OUTBREAK. i'm honestly losing respect for nolan and/or wb for them going as long as they are without delaying. same with disney with mulan
Nolan can't control when the movie comes out. I doubt he cares how long it gets delayed so long as it does open in theaters. This is WB's decision 100%.
you're probably right (hence the "or wb".) it's entirely possible he's doesn't want this playing two months from now any more than any of us and is only staying silent so as to remain "professional" and not burn bridges over at warner bros. wish pattinson and other cast members would go on record with, idk, saying they won't promote tenet if it stays where it is
The theater I used to work at has (supposedly) said they are going to re-open in early July in an email just a couple days ago I wish I could say people won't go, but they will. They don't give a shit. We've had insane crowds during horrendous snow/ice storms that shut everything else down, but shitty families see no problem packing into the van and risking it all for some entertainment. Even when schools were first cancelled for COVID before the theaters shut down, they were seeing huge crowds.
