The fate of the summer movie season rests on one Christopher Nolan film

At stake, say entertainment players and analysts, is nothing short of the nation’s preeminent form of public entertainment.
“If ‘Tenet’ doesn’t come out or doesn’t succeed, every other company goes home,” said a marketing executive from a rival studio who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the news media. “It’s no movies until Christmas.”
Experts describe two fundamentally different visions of what coming months will look like.
In one, audiences eager to leave the house after months of isolation pour in (social distantly) to see the Nolan film, which appears to focus on an agent attempting to prevent a global catastrophe (plot specifics remain tantalizingly murky). Every auditorium is filled with “Tenet” moviegoers; many theaters stay open late to accommodate them. Two other studio films, “Mulan” and “Wonder Woman 1984,” then follow. The summer consigns the spring quarantines to a place of surreal memory
quote:
The other scenario is bleaker: Continued covid-19 fears either prompt Warner Bros. to delay “Tenet” or consumers to stay away, resulting in a flop. Other studios who have been cautiously scheduling a post-“Tenet” release pull their movies. The summer then looks just like spring — “new” entertainment means old Netflix shows and “going out” is a euphemism for walking around the block.

I'll be there to see TENET opening weekend.

TENET might become a culturally significant movie if it’s the first wide release after the covid 19 pandemic. If it comes out and succeeds during this time it will pretty much be writing it’s own legacy due to world circumstances.
And honestly if there is a movie to do that, I’m glad it would be one from Nolan.

Fewer films on more screens to allow for social distancing seems like the way to go.
But I'm still seeing Tenet in Dolby no matter what.

No it doesn’t. Nolan’s movie is not coming out, but I could see him missing the boat by a couple of weeks. I could see those mid-August releases like Wonder Woman being the films that re-open movie theaters

I’ll be there opening day for Tenet, because I like Nolan’s movies and this looks cool, and because I want no excuses for top gun 2 not to be in theaters on 12/23.

I’ll be there if my theater is open.

Nolan’s movie is not coming out
Warner Bros is going all in on Tenet. It will very possibly be playing on 50% of screens in the megaplexes and all of the screens in the smaller local theaters. Unless a national order shuts down movie theaters (it won’t), Tenet is being released on time (it is).

I’m irrationally mad at how that is worded. I feel like it should definitely say “socially distanced” instead of how it is worded.
Completely irrational, but it pissed me off when I read it.

Can't wait, considering Inception was the best movie of the last decade.

I think it’s funny that the first movie being released after a fake pandemic from a virus released by China whom everyone wants to pay is a movie about a guy going back in time to stop World War 3. I swear if the reason for the war in that movie is a pandemic...
