Different countries are in different stages of the pandemic in terms of how many new cases and deaths there are each day, what the transmission rates are.MorenoVL wrote: ↑July 7th, 2020, 8:27 amWent to see Interstellar this sunday in our local IMAX in Brussels, every second row was closed off and 2 seats besides every booking made. Don't understand why it wouldn't be safe to open theaters worldwide like this? If 1,5 meters-2 meters distance is safe in alot of places, it should also mean theaters are safe, no?

Tenet - Box Office Autopsy
The issue is not just the social distancing. It’s the air ventilation. I doubt the August 12 date holds . Hardly any of the major countries and territories are open or functioning enough to be financially viable. Nolan presents theatres as a charity case that he’s determined to save, but the bottomline is there’s only so much BO revenue WB are willing to forgoMorenoVL wrote: ↑July 7th, 2020, 8:27 amWent to see Interstellar this sunday in our local IMAX in Brussels, every second row was closed off and 2 seats besides every booking made.

Lots of interesting stuff about Tenet's potential release and the current state of cinema.
Podcast by our good friend Anton of TrailerTrack, featuring Alex Billington of Firstshowing. Give it a listen!
In early June, executives at Warner Bros. convened a video meeting with their top filmmaker, Christopher Nolan, and his producer and wife, Emma Thomas, to strategize about the release of his $200 million espionage movie, Tenet, which at the time was due to open July 17. The studio laid out several theoretical scenarios for Nolan, listing likely profits and losses with his movie being released on different dates, according to multiple sources with knowledge of the call. Presented with an economic case for moving Tenet months into the future, when presumably the novel coronavirus would be a more contained threat and box office grosses more reliable, Nolan pushed back. It wasn't about money, he said, expressing instead the desire to be the first big studio film back in theaters, to show faith in the form and solidarity with exhibitors, when they're allowed to open and say they're ready.
"Nolan pushed [the release date] back".
A director holding personal control over the release date of a $200 million movie; wow.
He really is the king over at WB.
Edit: I completely misread that part, please ignore this comment
So basically what that part means is "WB requested a delay for MONTHS. Nolan said NO, arguing that saving theaters is more important etc. So they settled on a two-WEEK delay."
So IDK if my original comment still applies lol

Indeed it does.
I don't think the Nolan backlash will end any time soon.
People should remember it says early June though. That was a long time ago.

That's very disappointing to hear, if true.
