Orange County got the green light to reopen theaters this week.
As ‘Tenet’ begins its U.S. debut and California inches toward reopening, some moviegoers are less concerned than others about returning to theaters.in the U.S. and Canada. This weekend will test the studio’s theory that the film will stick around in theaters for weeks longer than a normal movie as filmgoers get more comfortable returning.
Los Angeles indoor theaters remain closed, limiting “Tenet’s” box office potential by depriving the studio of the nation’s largest market for theatrical movies. Other studios pushed back many of their premieres until later this year or 2021, rather than risk releasing major movies while Los Angeles and New York are blacked out.
Theaters in Orange County and San Diego can only open with 25% capacity, or 100 people, in their auditoriums, whichever is fewer, according to the state’s four-tier system for reviving the economy. In another potential relief for L.A. cinephiles who don’t want to drive to Anaheim or Fullerton, Warner Bros. has also eased restrictions on drive-ins playing “Tenet.” Initially, the studio would not allow drive-ins to play the film in markets where indoor theaters aren’t open. Now the few drive-ins in the L.A. area will be able to screen it, Warner Bros. said.“Tenet” showtimes for Friday on two of its four screens. Paramount Drive-In is also among the theaters that will play the film.
