Director’s 2010 film « Inception » will get theatrical re-release on July 17
The theatrical release of Christopher Nolan’s “Tenet” has been bumped back two weeks from July 17 to now open on July 31.
In its place, Warner Bros. will re-release a special edition of Nolan’s “Inception.”
“We’re especially thrilled, in this complex and rapidly changing environment, to be bringing Christopher Nolan’s ‘Tenet,’ a global tentpole of jaw-dropping size, scope and scale, to theaters around the world on July 31,” Toby Emmerich, chairman, Warner Bros. Pictures Group, said in a statement. “It’s been longer than any of us could’ve imagined since we’ve seen a movie on the big screen, and to acknowledge Chris’ fans as we count down to ‘Tenet”s opening day, we are also excited to offer his masterpiece ‘Inception’ in theaters for its 10th anniversary on July 17.”
Since the start of the coronavirus pandemic that left studios shuffling schedules, bumping back release dates by months and moving other movies to solely digital releases, “Tenet” has been one of the longest holdouts, having stuck to its July 17 release date since the beginning.
