Huh. Good to know. My local IMAX opted to keep Madame Web.

Well, those of you who thought this was an IMAX 70mm exclusive run appear to be correct. Tenet isn't playing anywhere near me at all this weekend. Oh well.

Joe's post is only for IMAX 70mm which isn't near me. That's why I was wondering how wide the release is "even for regular digital screenings." If this is also a standard wide release, I might go.

There are currently no showtimes on sale near me even for regular digital screenings. Of course 70mm is going to be limited, but I wonder how wide this release will be.

WW84 was projected to be a billion dollar earner before anyone saw it. At the beginning of 2020, I was expecting that it might even be the biggest film of the year. So I think paying out their backend as if it reached $1 billion was fair. Of course, there's no actually telling what it was...

I watched it as soon as it arrived on December 15 and not yet since. To be honest, it's such a blur that I would probably have to watch it again in order to recall what specifically confused me. Wonder Woman 1984 is next on my watch list as I just finished a rewatch of the first film before...

Then can you explain it to the rest of us who did find it complicated and confusing? Because I'd love to enjoy it more than I do. This is a serious question.

Although of course we know Nolan prefers the theatrical experience, I don't think he is objecting to streaming as much as he is objecting to how the involved parties were treated. Warner Bros. bought out the backend deals that were included in Gal Gadot and Patty Jenkins' contracts for WW84...

Vudu will begin to offer rentals on January 5.

I think he cares very much about what they have done with regard to taking the theatrical slate to HBO Max and especially how they treated the affected filmmakers. I absolutely think that will affect his decision about where to work next...

Do you think he will stay at the home of "the worst streaming service?"

I agree with @Sam Favate on both the merits and problems of Tenet. He might as well have taken his words right out of my mouth. I wasn't a huge fan of Dunkirk either, although it was extremely well made. This means that the last Nolan film I totally loved was Interstellar, which came out six...

The Honest Trailer is on point. So is the Pitch Meeting:

Those scenarios would be worse.

I finally got to see this when the Blu-ray came out earlier this week. I haven't yet gone back through all the posts since September when the movie came out and I dropped out of the thread. But my gut reaction was that it felt like Nolan had a really great idea and didn't bother to run the...

Oh, I agree completely. But that's why I'm out. (I only popped back in to see why I was quoted.) I look forward to returning to discuss the film once the Blu-ray is available to me.

If we've gotten to the point where the film is being discussed here rather than the release pattern, that's fine. But I am now going to start avoiding this thread until such time as I can see Tenet safely, which probably means when the Blu-ray is available. Peace out. I'll see you guys in the...

That's what the spoiler brackets are for. ;)

That's another really good one, of course. Speaking of re-releases and bringing the thread back on topic, I really do hope Warner Bros. finds an empty weekend at some point after the virus is over to bring Tenet back out again. It's obviously coming now and there's nothing we can do to keep...

Ford was the best part of that movie for sure. Unfortunately, the fake dog didn't work for me at all though, which made the whole movie kind of hard to invest in.

That's why I'm super glad my last one was Onward. Of course, I didn't know it was the last one at the time, so it wasn't a conscious decision on my part for it to be that. But still. If there had to be a last one for a while, I couldn't possibly have done any better than that. Of course, I...

From the article I linked on the previous page: That's the problem right there. He can do as he wishes, but following the precautions does not guarantee that other people won't get sick. Could he go and see it and get lucky and be fine? Sure, maybe. But he could also go and see it and get...

I didn't say he was breaking a rule or law. Of course the people interviewed in the article are within their rights to do as they wish and may therefore make their own decisions. I just think this is the kind of thing that is going to make matters worse before they get better, so I find it...

This is the stupidest thing I've read all week. It makes me angry how stupid and unsafe this is. It is only going to make things worse. I just can't even... https://variety.com/2020/film/global/tenet-christopher-nolan-flights-flying-1234749449/

Deadline is hearing expectations of a $25 million opening this weekend internationally: https://deadline.com/2020/08/tenet-international-box-office-preview-1203022539/ I think you're right. But this is a no-win situation. Unfortunately, I'm even more concerned about what happens if it does...

Not officially, but they held some paid sneak previews in some international markets last weekend.

Since Josh brought up this point, No Time to Die is MGM's one tentpole. I think it is more likely to be delayed than any other title. Bond is MGM's bread and butter, and they have nothing else. If WB bleeds money on Tenet, they've still got Wonder Woman in their back pocket. If Disney's $30...

Using the general rule of thumb, the reported $200 million budget would normally mean that it has to make +/- $600 million worldwide to break even. We know that WB is requiring a 63% take of the gross for the duration of the run, which is quite high, so this one might have to make a little bit...

I was about to post this too. I think Dan is absolutely right. WB and Nolan need to make some concessions here. If they want to be so fussy about how they control the release of the film, it should be delayed until 2021 when things are more normal and they can realistically have that control...

As much as I would like to see big films held over, if they decide that's not practical, VOD would be preferable to an unsafe theatrical release. I do not believe that I would survive a bout with COVID if I had it, so there's no way I'm going to risk going to theaters until we have a safe...
