Weekend Box Office: It's just going to be Tenet for a while, everybody - The A.V. Club

Warner Bros.’ plan is to just keep Tenet in theaters for as long as possible, so instead of making its entire haul in a couple of weeks like a normal movie, it will consistently make a small amount of money every week for months as more and more theaters around the country reopen.

It’s actually not a terrible plan, even if it does hinge on people going to movie theaters at a time when they should not be doing that, since it wisely takes advantage of the fact that there isn’t a whole lot else to see in theaters right now.

That (finally) brings us to this weekend’s box office numbers, which—get this—look a hell of a lot like last week’s numbers.
