You don't understand: the global situation has started to degrade again. A staggered release strategy is becoming more unlikely with each passing day.
You cannot do a staggered release if most foreign markets start closing again. If you want a staggered release to happen, it needs to happen now. Tenet's rumoured release of late August may very well prove too late. NTTD has no chance of releasing in November if Tenet can't even release internationally first.
If you want to keep this discussion going around in a circle because your refuse to understand the pandemic situation, find someone else to annoy. So I'll write it simply so you understand: A staggered release is impossible if both US box office and foreign markets are closed.
While a staggered release remains the most feasible in my head, the flipside to that thought is that it is merely the lesser of all the evils being presented, which doesn't make it any less evil. "Most feasible" is not the same as actually being feasible, unfortunately.
It's a pain in the ass, but that's how it is. If cases continue to rise again then it's an inevitability.
The delayd Scooby movie who released second weak of July did $898,772 after two weaks. Not realy bad i think. Warner deside even to stick with a high cinema count of 125 and now 126.
A sign people get there intrest back if there is intresting movie for them or there children. If NTTD can just doing that money in one weak or mabey even 1,2.
They have been open for the last few weeks.In southwest region anyway.And they have been showing catalogue films like The Empire Strikes Back,Superman, and Joker.
Really? Lucky you! Still waiting where I am.
One of the three cinemas near me has just opened - trouble is they're playing films that are readily available on Blu-ray/streaming - I have a decent projector/home cinema setup, not sure (with transport cost to the cinema) I can justify spending more to go there when it's a bit cheaper just to get the blu-ray.
I genuinely thought that we'd get a flurry of release date changes on Friday. This didn't materialise. I actually thought that Eon would pull the trigger and delay NTTD. Alas, that announcement didn't arrive.
I think @antovolk is right. Everyone is just waiting and watching to see what Tenet does. If it shifts a little towards September, then we may not see an upheaval to the calendar. However, if it moves a little further (say October or November) then all bets are off and we will see the film schedule thrown off.
I think VOD will only become a serious option once 2021 becomes unworkable. Otherwise, I think we are destined for a June 2021 release. Bond will take Jurassic World 3's date.

Paramount is about to become the first major studio to completely abandon 2020 releases. Clifford the Big Red Dog and Coming 2 America are the final 2 Paramount films still slated to release this year.
Let's say NTTD comes out in November with a VIP premiere in London with the cast, Cary, Babs & Michael, crew members, Royal family and celebs/guests.
The next place would be the red carpet in USA with the cast, Cary, Babs and Michael, right? And Paris, Berlin, China, etc.
But my question is: Will they have a special red carpet/screening in Port Antonio, Norway, and Matera with the cast, Cary, Babs and Michael?

This is good news!
Yep! I'll be there day one for this.
I'm not even all that interested in Tenet but I think I might just take a punt on it anyway, just to be back in familiar surroundings again.
London premiere with the cast at most, if the way the September festivals have been handling this are to go by. I don’t think much international travel will be on the cards now.
I think premieres are off the cards in 2020. You might get a gala screening with just the cast purely for reasons of a photo op. But nothing like an Albert Hall premiere with the Queen. Not happening till a vaccine.
I'm curious about @antovolk take on the Venice Film Fesitval. More details here:
The line-up was revealed. As we can see, it's a far less glitzy event with mostly European titles and no Oscar bait in sight (aside maybe Nomadland).
Does this mean the Oscars are cancelled? I think a big reason why Eon would want to come out in the current cycle is to do right by the talent and ensure Oscar noms are on the table. Especially for Billie Eilish, Hans Zimmer, Linus Sandgren and (possibly) Phoebe Waller-Bridge.
With the Oscars looking less and less likely now, will a summer 2021 date just seem more feasible? It's gonna be a very interesting next couple of weeks.
Though I do think that Eon will 100% not take the Warner approach of releasing in select cities. Which leaves only a few blockbusters on the table for 2020 and they are all Warner films.
If Tenet cannot open in the US due to the pandemic, it won't be allowed to be nominated for any Oscars. Unless WB caves in and the US gets a VOD release while the rest of the world enjoys Tenet on the big screen.
I am a player on the fringes of the industry and there is scuttlebutt that theatres will go under - how many stores do you know that survive on zero product and zero customers - so we have all seem the last big screen Bond film in our lives, until reparatory theatres get up and running in 2025 or 2026 once Covid has had its way with us.
Any future Bond movies will be a) not made by Eon b) cheap as chips to produce c) straight to streaming.
NTTD will lose a tonne of money and take a lot of careers with it - chief among them Mr Fukunaga and Mr Wilson. Broccoli will escape alive despite being responsible for much of the misery and chaos at Eon.
Tenet just needs ONE week in an L.A. theatre before the end of February to compete for the Oscars. That will be no problem.
Warner owns some theatres in L.A.
And all California cinemas are closed due to being one of the worst-hit state in the country.
But luckily, the coronavirus will disappear like magic for just one week so Tenet can get a cinema run. Because Covid-19 is a big Nolan fan.
worth noting that the eligibility period is until end of Feb...
And the eligibility rules for the Oscars state that it has to be running in cinemas, but not that a crowd of people should be able to see it in cinemas, right?
So, in theory, WB can just screen the film in one of their theaters, with minimal attendance.
Not just one theatre. There's a minimum number of screens required too, isn't there?
