In a win for those theater owners who are able to reopen, Tenet will now open first overseas in more than 70 countries starting on Aug. 26, followed by select U.S. cities on Sept. 3 in advance of the long Labor Day weekend.
The official dating news came a week after Warner Bros. said it was shelving a traditional release for Christopher Nolan's film amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic and that it could no longer wait for a global day-and-date release.
This means that Tenet could launch without such major U.S. markets as New York City and Los Angeles if cinemas in those cities are still unable to switch on the lights. As of Monday, local government and health authorities in more than 30 states have told theaters they can reopen, while cinemas can reopen in parts of 10 or so additional states.
Per Warner Bros., the major foreign territories where Tenet will open include Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Korea, Russia, Spain and the U.K. Territories still to be determined include China, where theaters have finally begun reopening.
