Tenet faced release date issue for quite a long period, as it was delayed multiple times due to the pandemic. Finally, the movie was released in theatres, where they were reopened, starting from August 26, 2020. It mostly earned positive responses with praises for the performances, production values and visuals. However, some criticized it for its complex plot and sound mixing.

Tenet was one of the first big Hollywood releases after theatres were reopened. Its collection of $280 million is less than what the experts had expected from a Christopher Nolan movie, although it might break-even. The film gave a view about how people will respond to going to cinemas amid the pandemic. Several big tent poles like Black Widow, Death on the Nile and others have been delayed, seeing the current circumstances and Tenet’s performance.
