Tenet (Christopher Nolan, September 3, 2020) Movie • Page 48

being optimistic haha, fine 9-12 months

 

exactly - WB should have just sat on this

imagine the weekend numbers this would have generated if they just waited till it was "normal" again

 

they would have made the same amount of money and had better PR doing the $50 SPOV that seemingly everyone knew would be a better idea than this lol

 

right - and obviously I want Tenet to be a success because I love all of Nolan's movies. I'm more just disgusted at WB for fucking this up

 

The articles about this movie's 'lackluster' debut here in America are honestly pretty annoying. These numbers for a big budget Christopher Nolan movie would be soft during normal times, but I'm honestly surprised $20 million worth of people rolled the dice on watching a movie in a movie theater when I honestly still weigh the risks of literally every. single. thing. I do outside of my house for the chances of how likely it is to lead to my wife or kids becoming infected.

 

maybe you live somewhere different than me, but uh... the mall here in Jacksonville FLA (which has a movie theater in it) has been *packed* every day for well over a month (like... barely parking left in the lot) -people go out and about pretty frequently in places they probably shouldn't

 

Yeah, I don't think it's quite as bad as that near me in Massachusetts, but there's still far too many dumb people doing risky shit than I'd care to see. I don't know anyone personally that has gone to the movies since March.

 

Im in MA as well, and I check the seating charts on Atom sometimes, and the auditoriums are pretty damn empty, even 15 minutes before start time. Still, I’m way too hesitant to go, too.

 

don't think even having the entire auditorium to yourself is worth it either, but others have been fine with several people in attendance so fuck what i know

 

I think the only way to be 100% is to have the auditorium to yourself and be the first screening, I don't think they quite know how long it lingers in the air yet

 

this will almost assuredly have Nolan’s smallest domestic box office since memento. a 20 year old movie two movies before dude did a batman. hilarious how avoidable that would have been by … pushing a year like every single other movie lol

 

Oddly enough that's the way I would prefer to go to the movies lol

 

I would easily pay $30-50 to watch this at home. They could then release this in theaters next year when it's safer so people could get the full experience

 

They're going to leave this in theaters for literally probably a year so I think by the end of the run it's going to have at least semi-respectable numbers. Obviously not nearly as high as it could have had though

 

i’ve heard a few people say that. i’m skeptical but it definitely seems like the bet they’re making.

 

I'm curious as to what he'll do next - this has to have damaged his career at least a little bit and force him to probably go smaller

 

I can only speak for my local Odeon here in England (Rochdale) but they have doubled the price of tickets since lockdown was eased. Tenet has had 20+ screenings a day since its release and whenever I have checked there have been no more than 4 tickets sold in a screening.

 

so is this movie supposed to be good? anyone here seen it?

 

Why would he get blamed? Everyone knows the circumstances.

 

he deserves a large portion of the blame but i don’t think it’ll hurt his career that much. he’s pretty untouchable at this point.

 

Agreed...I don't see this doing anything to his career.

 

The blame solely rests on WB in this debacle

 

I haven't been following along as much as you guys, but was Nolan pushing pretty hard to get this into theaters too? Like, resisting any attempt to have it stream on release and stuff?

 

he absolutely has. he’s said numerous times that he wanted this to be the movie to reopen theaters and that theaters would be the only way to see this

saying this is 100% on WB is hilarious
