Boris Johnson is announcing UK exit strategy Sunday so everyone is on the offensive... This is a turning point from a studio POV. In 2019, the UK was the 4th biggest international box office market, behind China, Japan and South Korea. Between that and how hard the UK was hit by the virus, it's basically 2nd behind the US at this point….what happens here is key.
If UK only reopens, say, September - would that trigger a Tenet/Mulan/WW84 move? Tenet personally I can see Nolan even letting other US states that are open getting it before NY/LA, putting it out there just so cinemas have it able to play as soon as they open, instead of waiting for a day and date US-wide or worldwide push. Other titles though which are likely hoping for global day and date....?
