Christopher Nolan’s Tenet – seen as the tentpole release for the reopening of cinemas worldwide – is now not coming out in the immediate future.

According to Warner Bros. “Our goals throughout this process have been to ensure the highest odds of success for our films while also being ready to support our theater partners with new content as soon as they could safely reopen,” Toby Emmerich, Chairman, Warner Bros. Pictures Group explained in a statement. “We’re grateful for the support we’ve received from exhibitors and remain steadfast in our commitment to the theatrical experience around the world. Unfortunately, the pandemic continues to proliferate, causing us to reevaluate our release dates. Amidst all this continued uncertainty, we have decided to vacate the current dates for our next two releases. We will share a new 2020 release date imminently for Tenet, Christopher Nolan’s wholly original and mind-blowing feature. We are not treating Tenet like a traditional global day-and-date release, and our upcoming marketing and distribution plans will reflect that. Additionally, we will be moving the next installment from our most-successful horror franchise, The Conjuring 3, to June 4, 2021.”

Wonder Woman 1984 is currently now Warner’s next release, set for October 2, with Dune out on December 18.

No Time to Die, the 25th 007 movie, is also being strongly rumoured to be pushing back to next April – a full year after its originally intended release, according to various sources. As yet, EON has not confirmed.
