Christopher Nolan’s ‘Tenet’ Returning to Movie Theaters, Including 70mm Imax Screens


Christopher Nolan's 'Tenet' will return to movie theaters, marking a minor reunion between the director and Warner Bros.

Nolan said in a statement, “Seeing the way audiences responded to our large format presentations of ‘Oppenheimer,’ I’m thrilled that Warner Bros. is giving audiences a chance to see ‘Tenet’ the way it was intended to be seen, on the largest Imax and large format film screens, and I’m honored to have our movie warm up the film projectors for Denis [Villenueve]’s jaw-dropping ‘Dune: Part Two.’” Starring John David Washington, Robert Pattinson and Elizabeth Debicki, “Tenet” follows an ex-CIA agent who is tasked with investigating mysterious, time-traveling objects linked to an attack from the future to the present. Nolan said at the time that he was in “disbelief” over Warners’ hybrid, day-and-date distribution strategy, which saw “big-screen experiences … being used as a loss-leader for the streaming service … without any consultation.” The director stated in another interview, “Some of our industry’s biggest filmmakers and most important movie stars went to bed the night before thinking they were working for the greatest movie studio and woke up to find out they were working for the worst streaming service.”
