Tenet (July 17)
It might not be the first movie slat to open in July , but all eye are on Christopher Nolan’sTenetahead of its still - scheduled release that month . The director ’s latest original project ( a globe - trotting espionage thriller with a sci - fi twist ) is an outlier among 2020 tentpoles in the sense that it has n’t budged from its original summer appointment throughout the lockdowns , in the hope of being able to receive audiences back after theaters reopen for business .

With about six weeks to go until then , the Mouse House is intelligibly holding off on making a last determination on the matter until the eleventh time of day .
Greenland (July 31)
round out the month of July ( for the moment , anyway ) isGreenland , a disaster thriller that reunites Gerard Butler with hisAngel Has Fallendirector Ric Roman Waugh . The film is about a family unit race to look for protection as a planet - killing comet makes it way to ground and marks the latest entry in a long line of merchandise of similarly goofy - sound genre movies for Butler ( join the like ofGeostorm ) . No doubt , distributer STXfilms is hoping to attract to moviegoers who just desire to get out of their theater after months of being cooped up and enjoy some ( presumably , vacuous ) metropolis - wrecking spectacle for a couple of hours in their local , social space - observing multiplex .
