Despite director Nolan ’s insistence on gettingTenetto theaters in July even amid the global pandemic , Warner Bros. did recently give in to reality by pushing back the moving-picture show ’s release two weeks . As it turns out , WB wanted to push back theTenetrelease dateeven further in hopes of protect the motion picture ’s box business office , but Nolan himself put up pushback . As reported by theNew York Times(viaCollider ) , word between Nolan and the studio led to a “ fraught consequence ” that resulted in Warner Bros. pass on in to their most profitable film maker and only postponing the movie for two week .
Indeed , Nolan has made a lot of money for Warner Bros. since the studio apartment first hooked up with him on 2002’sInsomnia . Much of that money of course was scan in with Nolan’sDark Knighttrilogy , which resurrected the moribundBatmanfranchise , but Nolan also scored big successes for the studio with non - franchise full treatment likeInception(which is set for a re - release onTenet ’s original release date),InterstellarandDunkirk . That track record is why WB was unforced to slide down $ 200 million intoTenet , a thriller that seem to be very much in the same nervure asInception . And that $ 200 million budget is obviously why Warners is hesitant to rush along the moving-picture show out to theaters even as uncertainty continue to reign over the entire movie industry .
It manifestly remains to be seen whether the gamble to keepTeneton the release schedule with only a minor delay will give off for the studio apartment and Nolan . On the one handwriting , it ’s admirable that Nolan remain attached to do celluloid intended to be seen on the expectant screen even as the industry moves slowly aside from the theatrical release modelling , and therefore wantsTenetto go ahead as plan . At the same time , it ’s easy to understand Warner Bros. ’ point of view as they ’ve sunk a lot of money intoTenetand are counting on it hitting big . That the studio apartment would give in to Nolan on such a major point speaks to how successful that relationship has been over the years , and how much powerfulness Nolan has as a film producer . In this case though , Nolan ’s imperativeness onTenetholding onto its July dismissal date even in the face of realities beyond everyone ’s mastery lead off to look a small like bare stubbornness .
