I’m surprised they released it during the pandemic

Somebody had to test the waters. Movie theatres need big budget films to bring people in, and studios need theatres to make series bank on big films.

Small budget films just don't make as much money as big budget blockbusters. Just look at Unhinged and New Mutants box office compared to Tenet.

Unfortunately, Tenet just wasn't the movie to bring people back to theatres in larger numbers. It's a very complex movie that's targeted to a certain audience. It's just not everyone's cup of tea.

I think Wonder Woman 1984 would've been a better choice to bring audiences back. Tenet should've moved to next year.

Movie theaters need new movies to make money. I still hope to see it in theaters maybe this week. Whatever money Warner Bros. loses on Tenet I hope they can make it up with Wonder Woman.

Tenet was good, but this movie wasn't the one to bring people back to the theaters.
