Welp. There goes my movie experience this summer (or lack of it). 
Tenet - Box Office Autopsy
I want to cry.
This maybe the best thing... Just glad they've decided not to push ahead blindly
@antovolk, is it possible they are still going to release this in open cinemas in upcoming weeks? Or would you guess this means an overall delay on the scale of months?

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.”
While most studios have postponed their major movies into late 2020 or 2021 and beyond, Nolan has high hopes that “Tenet” can usher audiences back to theaters, which have been closed since March to help stop the spread of coronavirus. For that reason, Warner Bros. had previously decided to incrementally move “Tenet” back weeks at a time, rather than postpone it to a significant degree until cinemas across the country are able to safety reopen. Now, insiders at Warner Bros. say they could more forward in select U.S. cities where public health and government officials deem it safe.
They stated that it’ll be out internationally first but they still pulled it from the Aug 14 date which is weird. Either not enough international theaters are opening back or they want to minimize the gap between international and US rollouts (it was stated somewhere that they are not comfortable with a gap longer than two weeks)

The wording in that article seems to suggest that there will not be a single release date because they will release it in different regions as they reopen.. I think WB is just working with theatres on the schedule.
I hope WB will release it internationally. This news hurtsSources at Warner Bros. stress that they will have to be flexible with its plans to release “Tenet,” which means it will not have a traditional theatrical rollout. Movie theaters overseas have already started to reopen, so there’s a chance it could launch internationally prior to a domestic release.
