‘Tenet’ Is Released in Theaters Today: Here’s Where You Can Stream Christopher Nolan’s Movies Online

After much hubbub, Christopher Nolan’s “Tenet” is finally in theaters. With the coronavirus prompting for the shuttering of theaters worldwide, there was a lot of speculation regarding what would happen to the highly-anticipated feature.

As several films found success in the PVOD arena without a theatrical bow, many wondered if “Tenet” would go the same route. With HBO Max still being a hot topic after its May 27 premiere, the assumption was that the film would go straight to the WarnerMedia-owned streaming service.

However, during their Q2 2020 earnings call in July, AT&T CEO John Stankey made it clear that while WarnerMedia has had to make adjustments due to the pandemic, they would not be bending “Tenet” to the straight to PVOD model. “I don’t know when theaters are going to reopen … or what the circumstances are going to be around it. There’s no question that the longer this goes on, there’s going to be some content on the margin that we look at and say it may be better served to be distributed in a different construct,” Stankey explained.

“I love the fact that we have that option now … Do I think that there could be some things that we did, chartered and built for theatrical releases that maybe migrate into an SVOD construct? Sure. Is it going to happen on a movie like ‘Tenet’ or something like ‘Wonder Woman?’ I’d be very surprised if that’d be the case. I can assure you on ‘Tenet’ that’s not going to be the case.”

Well, WarnerMedia stuck to their guns and the film made its premiere in theatres today. For those who are still wary of a jaunt to the movies, but would still like to indulge in some Christopher Nolan greats, several of his movies are available for streaming.
