As moviegoing has a slow revival amid the COVID-19 pandemic, Warner Bros. keeps a lid on “Tenet” details and “Mulan” underwhelms for Disney in China.
For all of his love of time-shifting scenarios, director Christopher Nolan never could have imagined the delayed roll-out for his film “Tenet.” Since the COVID-19 pandemic has upended all semblance of normalcy, “Tenet” has been put in the uncomfortable position of serving as a bellwether for audience attitudes toward a return to cinema-going.
The espionage thriller starring John David Washington added $37.3 million across 50 markets worldwide last week for a global cumulative of $207 million, according to estimates from measurement firm Comscore. That includes a modest $6.7 million weekend in North America, where the cumulative total has hit $29.5 million across 2,910 locations for a per-screen average of $2,302.
“What the survey shows is that movie fans are fans of the big screen experience,” said Dergarabedian. “They were really just excited to go back to the theater and see that health and safety measures were obvious and enforced. And a new Christopher Nolan film is clearly a huge incentive.”U.S. box office — with some caveats: Results included the full four-day Labor Day holiday weekend gross, a full week of grosses for Canada , three nights of previews in the U.S.
