"No movies until Christmas" if Tenet fails

I think that's a bit extreme, but July is definitely too soon.

This better be one damn good movie! They're even moving WW 84 up if it doesn't do well.

I don't think we are getting any moves untill 2021 or 2022 it's just to much money to risk it's a 200 million dollar movie no way it can make that in the pandemic.

I've been an avid movie-goer pretty much my whole life. But I've realized over the last two months that I don't miss going to the movies like I thought I would. But I know people are biting at the chomps to get back to normal so I expect the first big summer movie to open will do extremely well regardless if it might be too soon.

Putting all your hope behind one movie is incredibly dumb.

This is quite a risky move. Even if theaters reopen and critics say Tenet is the greatest movie since Citizen Kane, that won't be enough to bring skittish people back to multiplexes when they're still worried about the virus, especially if there's no vaccine. I suspect this is going to blow up in the faces of the suits at Warner Bros.

Yup. Not going to a theatre until vaccine. The rest of my life will put me at enough risk of exposure, thanks!

I love Nolan, and his movies are always a theatre experience for me, but hard pass on this.

And everyone should still be worried about the virus. It's NOT gone. We've stayed away from each other, which has limited exposure.
Re opening businesses doesn't mean it's safer than it was, it just means the hospitals have room for you.

This. I for one refuse to go to the theaters if they open before I can get a vaccine. I don't care what the movie is, it isn't worth me risking Corona to see it.

It seems industry insiders weighing the reopening and stuff already saw it and thought it's pretty good for the job.

The studio trusted Nolan enough to give him 200 million to make it, after all.

That's a sure sign of corporate competence

The guy has never had a flop. If there's such a thing as a sure bet, Nolan is on the list.

I always always always go to the theatre for his movies. I think he really earns the theatrical experience. I will be skipping this one.
