Some U.S. moviegoers will be able to see Christopher Nolan’s “Tenet” a few days early. Warner Bros. on Tuesday said that it would be offering early access screenings starting Aug.
31 as a gesture of support to the domestic theaters that are reopening after five months of being closed because of COVID-19.
The $200 million spy thriller starring John David Washington will open more widely in the U.S. on Sept. 3. “Tenet” is the first major new Hollywood movie to be released in theaters since most locations shuttered in mid-March.
It's arrival could not come soon enough for the ailing theaters, many of which are opening this week without any significant new movies and instead programming popular back catalog films like “The Empire Strikes Back”.
