Many are predicting similar theater re-openings all across the U.S in the weeks and months to come, but will it be successful? Hollywood has all but rescheduled its entire summer movie lineup from May to July, with the exception of one movie, which, it turns out, was going to be the big kahuna of the summer movie season: Christopher Nolan’s “Tenet.” Will Nolan’s movie be the title that relaunches the industry as a whole? According to Deadline, “Tenet,” which has maintained its July 17th release date, is currently projected to have a $100 million opening weekend, but, if that date is maintained, will people actually show up despite the unpredictability of this virus? For “Tenet” to reach those kinds of opening numbers, and with social distancing guidelines in mind, theater rooms would have to be open to at least 50% capacity, with extra screenings scattered throughout that particular multiplex. It helps that, most likely, there would barely be any other new movies playing at the time, but New York and California would also need to participate and be open for business by July.
