Who cares? A potential masterpiece is on the horizon. Do you have stock in WB? If you're so worried just sell your stocks.
I want Nolan to have a successful career and I would love for Tenet to be seen in a full crowd. Not reduce seating with wear mask and social distancing. It ruins the experience. Maybe it bomb so much WB won’t give 200m for a original blockbuster.

You mean box office bomb? I doubt it. Tenet will be one of the few tentpole films this year. Many people will watch it because of the poor movie selection. And it will stay much longer in movie theaters than usual.
Don‘t start crying when Tenets opening weekend is low. Tenet will be a sleeper hit.
If the world remains in this condition the next time Nolan pitches a movie, you'd probably be right.Jesus of Suburbia wrote: ↑July 27th, 2020, 1:21 pmMaybe it bomb so much WB won’t give 200m for a original blockbuster.
But if theaters can go back to some sense of normal in the future whereas his film right now could see low box office numbers, we can't use those numbers alone as a barometer for how things will be later. If this film receives a 100% RT and Metacritic score and wins Best Picture at the Oscars with incredible word-of-mouth, but oh it only got $170 million because people have feared going to theaters or they were closed/staggered (and Mulan only gets $110 million at the box office), then no... WB will not think twice about giving Nolan that money again. They will do it immediately.
Polls show people don’t feel safe going to the theater right now. Schools want to be close due to safety issues but theaters are safe to go. That is a great message to send people.X-MementoMori-X wrote: ↑July 27th, 2020, 1:22 pmYou mean box office bomb? I doubt it. Tenet will be one of the few tentpole films this year.

Theaters can have 25% capacity, but if a classroom has your students or don't, it's a binary condition of either 100% (take absent folk) or 0%. Students would be ungoverned during passing periods and lunch to intermingle, classrooms are much smaller than movie theaters with significantly lower ceilings and less funding to consider components such as filtering their ventilation system (though you can open windows in most classrooms), materials are passed back and forth in droves and desks are shared without being able to be cleaned between periods for lack of custodial staff for several dozens of classrooms, and instead of only being at school for a couple of hours, you re there for about seven hours in the day.
It's just an inconceivable practice for schools to operate in this fashion at this point in time.
Point is people will make the comparison and won’t feel safe. People will die because of this. WB and Nolan will receive a lot of back lash because of this.MuffinMcFluffin wrote: ↑July 27th, 2020, 1:32 pmYou can't compare schools to theaters.
