Tenet Now Undated as Warner Bros. Preps for ‘Unconventional Theatrical Rollout’

According to Deadline, Tenet has been temporarily taken off of Warner Bros.’ theatrical release schedule as major circuits remain closed due to the ongoing global pandemic. Warner Bros. revealed they are prepping Christopher Nolan’s highly-anticipated feature for an “unconventional theatrical rollout” with a new release date to be announced “imminently.”

Additionally, the studio also announced that The Conjuring 3 has been moved from its September 11 release date to June 4, 2021.

“Our goals throughout this process have been to ensure the highest odds of success for our films while also being ready to support our theater partners with new content as soon as they could safely reopen,” said Toby Emmerich, Chairman, Warner Bros. Pictures Group in a statement. “We’re grateful for the support we’ve received from exhibitors and remain steadfast in our commitment to the theatrical experience around the world. Unfortunately, the pandemic continues to proliferate, causing us to reevaluate our release dates. Amidst all this continued uncertainty, we have decided to vacate the current dates for our next two releases. We will share a new 2020 release date imminently for Tenet, Christopher Nolan’s wholly original and mind-blowing feature. We are not treating Tenet like a traditional global day-and-date release, and our upcoming marketing and distribution plans will reflect that. Additionally, we will be moving the next installment from our most-successful horror franchise, The Conjuring 3, to June 4, 2021.”
