But that's exactly what it is, media was being unfair and irrational with their coverage. Why be so concerned about optics, journalists shouldn't be so sensitive if they are truly "arbiters of the truth".Jesus of Suburbia wrote: ↑July 20th, 2020, 7:52 pmBut is important right now to avoid back lash to mention health, wellbeing, ect.

Because it sounds bad to the public. Like if Disney made at statement with Mulan and they put the same statement and complained that the press is treating them unfairly for opening Disney World. When a giant corporation learn to deal with critical. Don’t complain about the press.ninenin wrote: ↑July 20th, 2020, 7:57 pmBut that's exactly what it is, media was being unfair and irrational with their coverage.

They were being unfair and I'm glad WB called them out on it.ninenin wrote: ↑July 20th, 2020, 7:57 pmBut that's exactly what it is, media was being unfair and irrational with their coverage.

I don't understand why their statement is even remotely controversial. It's clear they're not asking for any favours, bullying or acting like Disney. They're simply dispelling false reporting and stating facts that these are unprecedented times and WB are doing their best to appease exhibitors and general audiences. They do have audience's safety in mind and evidently there's no rule book when it comes to dealing with a changing climate and a resurgence of 2nd waves. They've got immense pressure from stakeholders: journalists, exhibitors, audiences, shareholders and are appropriately changing their tune when need be.
Cut them some slack, seriously.
It would do a great deal of good if Nolan got on camera and explained his point of view on the situation and assuage people’s concerns. He’s never anything less than diplomatic and sensible.

No. That's a very different situation. Disney is responsible for opening their parks. WB is not responsible for theatres opening their doors. You can't fault wb for simply releasing their product. They are just honoring their side of the agreement/ helping a struggling industry.. I really don't see the "reasoning" that people like you are trying to push. It's like getting mad at Levis jeans for supplying Wal-Mart with products if Wal-Mart was being irresponsible for not following lockdown procedures.Jesus of Suburbia wrote: ↑July 20th, 2020, 8:03 pmBecause it sounds bad to the public.

Delayed indefinitely.
“We will share a new 2020 release date imminently for Tenet, Christopher Nolan’s wholly original and mind-blowing feature,” said Warner Bros. chairman Toby Emmerich in a statement. “We are not treating Tenet like a traditional global day-and-date release, and our upcoming marketing and distribution plans will reflect that.”
“Our goals throughout this process have been to ensure the highest odds of success for our films while also being ready to support our theater partners with new content as soon as they could safely reopen,” Emmerich said. “We’re grateful for the support we’ve received from exhibitors and remain steadfast in our commitment to the theatrical experience around the world. Unfortunately, the pandemic continues to proliferate, causing us to reevaluate our release dates.”

Wouldn’t Thanksgiving/Christmas logically have a lot more cases? They’re only increasing now so unless everyone in the world gets it now so it dies off before then I can only see big holidays contributing to an even bigger increase
