Christopher Nolan | Entertainment News, Photos, and Videos

A recent report is explaining why the movie Tenet was only able to garner two Oscar nominations this year and it all boils down to director Christopher Nolan.

The big-budget movie was the first blockbuster film to be released in theaters during the COVID-19 pandemic and it unfortunately didn’t get audiences back into the seats.

Nolan insisted that the film be released in theaters instead of getting a VOD release like many of the other movies throughout the past year. He also criticized his home studio Warner Bros. when they later decided to put the entire 2021 slate on HBO Max the same day the films hit theaters.

So, why has Tenet not received more awards acclaim?

The Christopher Nolan movie Tenet, which was released in theaters last summer during the pandemic, is going to hit the streaming service very soon.

HBO Max just announced that Tenet will be available to watch beginning on May 1.

Tenet, which stars John David Washington and Robert Pattinson, was originally delayed by several months and was eventually released in theaters in August 2020. Most theaters around the country were still closed and the movie only made $58 million in the U.S. New York City movie theaters just opened this month for the first time in nearly a year and Tenet is playing in some of them.

The movie was available for home viewing back in December and you can currently rent it on demand.

The movie Tenet, which was expected to be one of summer 2020′s biggest blockbusters, is finally available to watch at home following a disappointing theatrical run.

Warner Bros. released the movie in theaters in September when it seemed like COVID-19 cases were finally going down in the U.S., but the cases later started to surge again and it seems audiences were not ready to go back to the movies.

Tenet grossed just $57.8 million domestically, though its worldwide total was $361.4 million.

You can now purchase a digital copy of the movie for $19.99 on iTunes, Amazon, Vudu, or wherever else movies are sold. Rentals of the movie will not be available until January 5.

The Blu-ray version of the movie, which also comes with a DVD copy and a digital code, is available on Amazon for $24.96.

Christopher Nolan is not happy at all about Warner Bros.’ plans to put all of their 2021 movies on HBO Max on the same day they are released in theaters.

If you didn’t know, Warner Bros. is the studio that released Nolan‘s latest movie Tenet, along with nearly all of his former films.

“Some of our industry’s biggest filmmakers and most important movie stars went to bed the night before thinking they were working for the greatest movie studio and woke up to find out they were working for the worst streaming service,” Nolan said in a statement on Monday (December 7), via The Hollywood Reporter.

The statement continued, “Warner Bros. had an incredible machine for getting a filmmaker’s work out everywhere, both in theaters and in the home, and they are dismantling it as we speak. They don’t even understand what they’re losing. Their decision makes no economic sense and even the most casual Wall Street investor can see the difference between disruption and dysfunction.”

Nolan also spoke out in a new interview on Monday.

We’re just days away from Christopher Nolan‘s highly anticipated movie Tenet being released in areas across the globe and the first reviews have been released!

A select group of critics were given the chance to see the movie before the rest of the world and the Rotten Tomatoes score at the time of this posting is a strong 82% fresh rating.

Even though the film currently has a high score, there are only 38 reviews and the number could change when more reviews are posted. Most of the reviews out there right now seem to be mixed. The website’s critics consensus says, “A visually dazzling puzzle for film lovers to unlock, Tenet serves up all the cerebral spectacle audiences expect from a Christopher Nolan production.”

TheWrap‘s Nicholas Barber said, “In the end, Tenet isn’t one of Nolan‘s most satisfying films. But after I’ve seen it four or five more times, maybe I’ll change my mind.”

The Hollywood Reporter‘s Leslie Felperin said, “Altogether, it makes for a chilly, cerebral film – easy to admire, especially since it’s so rich in audacity and originality, but almost impossible to love, lacking as it is in a certain humanity.”

The Guardian‘s Catherine Shoard said, “The world is more than ready for a fabulous blockbuster… It’s a real shame Tenet isn’t it.”

Tenet will hit select theaters in the U.S. on September 3.

Christopher Nolan‘s Tenet release schedule has been filled with controversy after it was scheduled to be released in July 2020, then August 2020 during the rising Coronavirus cases around the country.

Warner Bros. officially postponed the movie until September, but one actor and producer took notice. Seth Rogen and his production company Point Grey have been navigating the pandemic like the rest of the world…but that didn’t stop him from taking a dig at Nolan.

“I’m waiting to see what Chris Nolan does,” Seth told THR. “‘WWCND’ is basically what we’re saying at all times. ‘What would Chris Nolan do?’ For a while, it seemed like the answer was to kill his greatest fans. But that’s not the answer of today, it seems, so that’s good. But we have no idea. We don’t want to be the first to rush into anything.”

With Coronavirus, health officials recommend more low risk, outdoor activities promoting mask use and social distancing and movie theaters have been one business that has been greatly effected by the pandemic.

The new Christopher Nolan movie Tenet will be hitting theaters in the United States on September 3, but only select cities will get to see the movie.

Warner Bros. just announced that the movie is going to be released internationally in more than 70 countries on August 26, followed by the Labor Day weekend release in the states.

The movie was supposed to hit theaters on July 17, but the coronavirus pandemic has caused the release to be delayed. Now, only cities that allow movie theaters to reopen will be playing the film.

This means that New York City and Los Angeles, the two biggest movie-going cities in the country, might not be playing the film on the weekend of release, according to THR.

We’ll have to wait and see if the coronavirus cases trend down before we’ll know more.

Disney just announced some major changes to the release calendar due to the pandemic.
