Released in 2020, Tenet is a really strong movie with good performances from its actors. It also features great action scenes, amazing direction, and a visually striking, complex, and mind-blowing plot. All these factors contribute to a stunning cinematic experience.
It was the first big Hollywood movie to hit theaters during the pandemic. It made $365 million globally, even though it cost $200 million.
Despite being the fifth-highest-grossing film in 2020, it didn’t make enough to cover its production costs. Anyway, Nolan can still make a sequel to this film.
The news about the potential sequel arises because Warner Bros. has reportedly taken steps to attract Nolan back to work with them again—especially after the success of Nolan’s film about J. Robert Oppenheimer. So, it can be said that his next project might be Tenet 2 after Oppenheimer.
Potential for Tenet Sequel Grows With Warner Bros’ Initiatives
Renowned for his fascination with time, Christopher Nolan boldly presented an original story in Tenet. Featuring John David Washington and Robert Pattinson, Tenet was seen as a film that might kickstart a new franchise for Nolan if it performed successfully back then.
While there hasn’t been an official announcement for Tenet 2, recent events suggest that it might be in the works as Nolan’s next project following the success of Oppenheimer. Although the Birtish-American director’s plans for the sequel are still unknown, the possibility of Tenet 2 seems more feasible—aligning well with his schedule.
The re-release of action sci-fi film in theaters serves as a strategic move by Warner Bros. to mend its relationship with the 53-year-old filmmaker. By bringing the film back to cinemas, WB not only desires to generate extra revenue but also to prove a commitment to the director.
Christopher Nolan’s Tenet Returns to Theaters for Limited Run
Christopher Nolan’s Tenet returns to theaters for a week. Warner Bros. Discovery announced the limited re-release of the Inception filmmaker’s mind-bending film featuring John David Washington, which is set to start on February 23rd.
It will be shown on IMAX 70mm and other large format screens. The re-release seeks to promote another Warner Bros. film, Dune: Part Two. Nolan said in a statement (via Entertainment Weekly):
“Seeing the way audiences responded to our large format presentations of ‘Oppenheimer,’ I’m thrilled that Warner Bros. is giving audiences a chance to see ‘Tenet’ the way it was intended to be seen, on the largest IMAX and large format film screens. I’m honored to have our movie warm up the film projectors for Denis’ jaw-dropping ‘Dune: Part Two.’”
