With Christopher Nolan’s Tenet doornail dead at the box office, a number of other big movies have just lost their nerve and scurried to next year or much later this year, which means 2020 is a total washout, a lost year for the movies. Something that has never before happened in this country. Not during world wars or previous pandemics.
This idea that there’s some pent up desire to return to the movies just isn’t true. There seems to be plenty of pent-up desire to do a whole bunch of other things, but sitting in a movie theater is not one of them.
Moviegoing audiences in North America are not rushing back to the theater just yet and “Mulan” is also faltering in its China release as the global box office slowly comes back online in the COVID-19 era.
NEW YORK (AP) — In a litmus test for American moviegoing in the pandemic, Christopher Nolan’s “Tenet” brought in an estimated $20.2 million through the holiday weekend in U.S. and Canadian theaters.
NEW YORK (AP) — The first wave of big new movies released since the beginning of the pandemic, including Christopher Nolan’s mind-bending thriller “Tenet” and the long-delayed “X-Men” spinoff “The New Mutants,” arrived in theaters over the weekend, testing the waters of a radically different theatrical landscape.
New York (AFP) – Movie industry experts have long pegged hopes on Christopher Nolan’s hotly-awaited, super-secret sci fi epic “Tenet” to save Hollywood from the summer of coronavirus.
LOS ANGELES (AP) — With reported cases of the coronavirus surging, Warner Bros. on Thursday postponed the release of Christopher Nolan’s “Tenet,” further delaying Hollywood’s summer kickoff.
Hollywood thinks we’re going to sit through a two-and-a-half hour movie wearing a mask. Are they insane?
