Christopher Nolan's 'Tenet' Finally Pushes Release

All that hope and wait that Christopher Nolan's Tenet might be the film that will draw audiences back to the theaters in July can now be put to rest as the mega venture officially becomes the latest film to push its release back.

The highly anticipated espionage thriller, has pushed back its theatrical debut by two weeks, ending months of speculation about whether or not the $200 million tentpole would hold onto its mid-July release date.

The Warner Bros. film, which stars Robert Pattinson and John David Washington, was initially slated for July 17 and will now debut in cinemas on July 31. On the date that Tenet was expected to open, theaters will re-release one of Nolan’s biggest hits, Inception, in honor of its 10th anniversary.

Apart from that, Warner Bros. also postponed “Wonder Woman 1984” nearly two months, from from Aug. 14 to Oct. 2. This marks the second time the superhero sequel, directed by Patty Jenkins and starring Gal Gadot, has moved. The film was originally set to kick off summer on June 5, but was delayed until August once theaters began to close due to the coronavirus pandemic.

“We’re especially thrilled, in this complex and rapidly changing environment, to be bringing Christopher Nolan’s ‘Tenet,’ a global tentpole of jaw-dropping size, scope and scale, to theaters around the world on July 31,” said Toby Emmerich, chairman of Warner Bros. Pictures Group. “It’s been longer than any of us could’ve imagined since we’ve seen a movie on the big screen, and to acknowledge Chris’ fans as we count down to ‘Tenet’’s” opening day, we are also excited to offer his masterpiece ‘Inception’ in theaters for its 10th anniversary on July 17.”
