Christopher Nolan's Tenet, which had hoped to herald Hollywood's return to big theatrical releases, has yet again postponed its release due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
Warner Bros. said Monday that Tenet will not make its August 12 release date. Unlike previous delays, the studio this time didn't announce a new target for the release of Nolan's much-anticipated $200 million thriller.
Tenet had already shifted from July 17, then July 31 and then Aug. 12. Nolan, a staunch advocate for the big-screen experience, has strenuously hoped that "Tenet" could lead the resumption of nationwide and global moviegoing.
But the surge of the virus across much of the US has upended the industry's aims for even a late-August return. Last week, California ordered its cinemas closed.
Warner Bros. Pictures Group chairman Toby Emmerich said the studio will soon share a new "2020 release date" for Tenet. It may be a much different rollout, with the film opening in staggered international release.
"We are not treating Tenet like a traditional global day-and-date release, and our upcoming marketing and distribution plans will reflect that," said Emmerich.
Emmerich said the pandemic's spread has forced the studio to reevaluate its plans. Warner Bros. also shifted the horror sequel The Conjuring 3? from Sept. 11 to June 4, 2021.
"Our goals throughout this process have been to ensure the highest odds of success for our films while also being ready to support our theatre partners with new content as soon as they could safely reopen," said Emmerich. "We're grateful for the support we've received from exhibitors and remain steadfast in our commitment to the theatrical experience around the world."
Other films have planned their releases partially around the launch of Tenet. Walt Disney Co.'s Mulan remains scheduled for theatrical release on Aug. 21.
Movie theatres remain in a precarious limbo. Without new releases, U.S. indoor theatres and drive-ins that are open have played mostly older films and a smattering of smaller new releases.
