Tenet delayed indefinitely

Tenet was initially scheduled to release on July 17, 2020. It was first delayed to July 31, and then to August 12, 2020. Now the movie has been held up indefinitely. The news was revealed earlier today as Warner Bros. studios pulled Tenet out from its release calendar.

Chairman of Warner Bros. Picture, Toby Emmerich, talked about the indefinite delay of Tenet to a delay. He said that their goals throughout this process have been to ensure the highest odds of success for their films while also being ready to support their theatre partners with new content as soon as they could open safely. He mentioned that they are grateful for the support that they have received from exhibitors and remain steadfast in their commitment to the theatrical experience around the world. Emmerich stated that unfortunately, the pandemic continues to proliferate, causing them to revaluate their films’ release date.  He noted that amid all this continued uncertainty, they have decided to vacate the current dates of their next two releases.

Toby Emmerich added that they will share a new 2020 release date “imminently” for Tenet. He said that it is Christopher Nolan’s “wholly original and mind-blowing” feature. The chairman stated that they are not treating Tenet like a traditional “global day-base release date”, and their upcoming marketing and distribution plans will reflect that.  Emmerich also announced that they would be moving the next instalment for their “most-successful” horror franchise, The Conjuring 3, to June 4, 2021.
