During the pandemic, many projects skipped theatrical releases and headed straight to VOD or streaming platforms. Several theatres had to be shut down due to the loss. However, Christopher Nolan was persistent on Tenet having a theatrical release. The movie became the first big project to arrive in cinemas halls. Tenet's box office result did not match the expectations. Its low run at the box office is said to play a key role in other big projects getting further delay.

Tenet released in theatres on August 26, 2020, wherever they were reopened. Being a much-anticipated project, it was expected to make at least more than $500 million but failed to even cross $350 million mark at the globe ticket windows, against a budget of around $200 million. Tenet cast has John David Washington as a CIA agent called the Protagonist.

It features Robert Pattinson as the protagonist’s handler Neil, Elizabeth Debicki, Dimple Kapadia, Michael Caine, Himesh Patel, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Martin Donovan, Fiona Dourif, Yuri Kolokolnikov and Kenneth Branagh. The movie follows an operative of an organisation known as ‘Tenet’ on a journey to fight for the survival of the entire world. The mission unfolds in something beyond real-time as the operative uses “time inversion” technic to prevent World War III.
