It was announced as the film that would "save the cinemas" weakened by the health crisis. Tenet , the last feature film by Christopher Nolan, has in any case what to encourage the exhibitors to a renewed optimism. Released Wednesday in France, it recorded 809,601 entries into French territory at the end of its first weekend of operation, revealed this Monday Warner Bros.
This is the best start after a first weekend since January. So far, the best score since the start of the year had been achieved by Sonic, the film and its 569,071 admissions in February. Nothing to shake Welcome to the Ch'tis which holds the category record with 3.6 million admissions.
$ 53 million in revenue worldwide
Tenet , screened in 678 cinemas in France, signed a first weekend superior to that of the two previous films of its director, Dunkirk (708,000 admissions in 2017) and Interstellar (650,000 admissions in 2014), according to Warner.
In a statement released in the United States on Sunday, Warner Bros. Pictures informed that Tenet , released this week in several countries - but not yet in the United States - "has already made 53 million dollars at the box office". This 200 million dollar blockbuster, after several postponements, was the only one of its kind to dare to be released at the end of the summer, on August 26.
