They further elaborated that Tenet will be playing in the theatres for a longer period as compared to the other movies. Christopher Nolan’s team is planning to apply this strategy in order to develop a different yet successful movie run. Apart from delaying the release of Tenet, the studio has also delayed the re-release of Inception.

In honour of Inception’s 10th anniversary, the movie was set to rerelease in select theatres but now it will be releasing on July 31. This shift in Tenet and Inception 10th anniversary celebration comes after New York Governor Andrew Cuomo’s announcement. According to this announcement, movie theatres are not part of phase 4 reopening. Since cinemas in New York City and Los Angeles will not be reopened for quite some time, big-budget films like Tenet, No Time To Die, Mulan and many others are facing issues.
