'TENET' RAKES IN OVER $20 MILLION AT THE U.S. BOX OFFICE!
Tuesday, 08 September 2020
Tenet is raking relatively substantial numbers even during the pandemic at the box office.
The Christopher Nolan directed movie has garnered $20.2 million over Labor Day weekend, bringing its total income towards nearly $150 million globally, as reported by Variety on Sunday (September 6).
The movie premiered in the United States over the holiday weekend in about 2,800 cinemas across the country, a “smaller footprint than normal for a wide release,” Variety notes.
“But Warner Bros., the studio behind the twisty thriller, is banking on it being enough to justify unspooling the $200 million-budgeted film after months of delays. Currently, about 70% of multiplexes in the U.S. have reopened, though major territories like New York City, Los Angeles, Seattle, and San Francisco are still off-limits.”
The movie was also generally considered as a litmus test for the health of the movie theater industry amid the global health concerns.
“Hollywood has been focusing its attention to Tenet as an indicator of the viability of the movie theater business during a global health crisis. Many exhibitors reopened their cinemas in time to screen Tenet, and they are banking on pent-up demand to see a movie on the big screen for the first time since the pandemic hit in March,” states the media outlet.
