The ‘Tenet’ Movie Only Made $6.7 Million On It’s Second Weekend
By George Robbins
Movie theaters have begun the slow and painful process of reopening their doors to the public now that rules have been put into place. With the new rules in place, theaters have been able to allow people back through their doors to see whatever movies that they have available to them. That is not to say that there is actually a decent amount of movies actually available however, as there aren’t. This is mainly due to the fact that studios don’t want to release films if they are not going to make the money they want off of them. Therefore many films have been pushed back so that time can be allowed to accumulate where people may build up their confidence once again in going to theaters.
As of now, it is known to many people that although public places are once again open to the public, it is still very dangerous. It only takes one person in an enclosed space to infect a number of other people and this is why many people are still not comfortable with leaving the house. This has become increasingly apparent as time goes on because it can easily be seen with how much money ends up entering every industry out there. For movie theaters it is the amount of money that ends up entering the box office over each and every weekend. It is how much money a movie itself ends up raking in after it has been out in theaters for a little while.
This justified fear that people have has made itself all the more apparent, at least for Christopher Nolan’s new movie ‘Tenet‘, over this past weekend. This previous weekend was only the second weekend that the movie has been released domestically and it has taken a sharp drop in the amount of money it has managed to bring in. The studio was ready to brave the storm following its opening weekend, but now things may become a bit more difficult for them. They brought in over $150 million over the first two weekends, but now they have only brought in $6.7 million which just shows that they may not have waited long enough because they could end up losing much more than they anticipated. Given that they need to make $500 million just to even come close to some kind of success, things are not looking well for them.
