Robert Pattinson Tenet new release date to be confirmed

It’s not really a surprise that Warner Bros has decided to delay the release of Tenet on 12 August 2020. Although Australian cinemas have reopened, we are in the midst of a second wave and the next few weeks are critical to see if they remain open. Cinemas in Los Angeles and New York won’t be open by 12 August and China, although they reopened their cinemas on 20 July 2020 have enforced a runtime limit of 2 hours for films. Tenet misses that by 30 minutes. According to Variety, the worldwide release may be staggered, so if we’re not one of the first countries to release it be prepared for spoilers all over social media. This is what Variety and Warner Bros had to say:

“We will share a new 2020 release date imminently for ‘Tenet,’ Christopher Nolan’s wholly original and mind-blowing feature,” said Warner Bros. chairman Toby Emmerich in a statement. “Our goals throughout this process have been to ensure the highest odds of success for our films while also being ready to support our theater partners with new content as soon as they could safely reopen.”

In a surprise move, Warner Bros. may release “Tenet” overseas before it opens in North America. Though the U.S. and Canada remains the biggest moviegoing market in the world, international cinemas look to be ahead of America in their plans to reopen. Sources at the studio stress they will have to be flexible with its plans to unveil “Tenet,” suggesting the film won’t have a traditional rollout.

“We are not treating ‘Tenet’ like a traditional global day-and-date release, and our upcoming marketing and distribution plans will reflect that,” Emmerich said.
