Poll of the Day > Tenet opens #1 in the United States with 20 MILLION..but only a B CINEMASCORE!!.

(+) Yeah! (+)

Tenet has finally opened in North America with much anticipation from Nolan Fans..and it's hard to describe how these numbers are given the shutdown of many theatres still and it isn't your typical Labour Day weekend.

Christopher Nolan's big tent film rolled out in several parts of the country with only 65% of the market open.

What's more is that Tenet only scored a B CINEMASCORE where Nolan films typically earn a B+ or A as it appears most moviegoers that saw it weren't so keen on the film...perhaps the time travelling plotline was too difficult to follow

It does have a 79 on RT with 74% audience rating....

The opening does beat New Mutant's 7M opening but how much the movie makes in the following weeks and months will determine whether it was a success or failure for this 250M blockbuster.

Disney opted to go for the 30 dollar + Disney+ route for Mulan which irked cineplexes although it did open in some markets such as Thailand, Taiwan, Slovakia with a 6M opening.

The movie has made now nearly 150M worldwide when added with foreign grosses.

Do you think 20M is good?

Yikes, current situation or not, $20M opening weekend on a $250M film (is that even including advertising?) sounds pretty bad. It'd need very long legs to even break even, and it sounds by all accounts like a pretty terrible movie, so it's not gonna get them.

Wait, you need to subscribe to Disney+ AND pay $30?!
That's fucking insane, what idiot would pay that much?

I thought $20 on its own for a movie w/o a subscription fee was pushing it....Disney is so fucking greedy....
