Goodbye For Now Tenet. Here’s what we learned from the summer movie season that never was

summer movie season canceled for the first time since the first blockbuster Jaws warm-weather 1975. Monday ‘, delays and uncertainties, Warner Bros. has been officially postponed after months Tenet, highly anticipated film spy Christopher Nolan with John David Washington, indefinitely. Since the pandemic had caused the Crown before closing cinemas in March, the film industry, cinema owners and fans see everything from Tenet did, that could save the summer 2020, the film must-see- on-the-large popcorn screen if it could all Theater after months of blocking attracts the public’s back, it would be a show of the filmmakers behind the dark knight, Inception and Dunkirk, a longtime supporter of the value of experience film. But how COVID-19 the number of cases for further US rise, it has become clear that the reopening of the cinema would not be safe. Tenet release date moved from mid-July until the end of July and then from mid-August. Now there are those who hope had held the fact that a film so much responsibility could never worn, not to mention in front of a public health crisis far beyond your control. It remains to be seen whether other films currently scheduled for theatrical release this summer, as the Disney live-action Mulan will take steps Tenet. In both cases, it will take a lot of time, a bit ‘of gambling money and perhaps even a vaccine before enough fans to laugh comfortable sitting in a dark room next to hundreds of strangers and wheeze are all’ unison or even breathe the same air, Meanwhile, as fans for their movie fix on much on the small screen, here is what the blockbuster season that you never know what the future of film taught in memory. There would never be a cinema experience film history saved, who has played Hollywood Tenet felt like a fantasy. The shops located Nolan, as if it were the hero in one of his movies, the man who would hurry up and save the day. The obsession with a Nolan film, and that was not arbitrary: Nolan one of the few where the only Hollywood filmmakers did not leave that can summon a level superhero numbers at the box office with a completely original film, which is not bound a franchise, film or comic universe. His films are big expensive, experience, immersive IMAX best weekend of release, so that the remains of some of the big plot twist in your feed of social media. Even before the pandemic, it represented Tenet last hopes for a Hollywood largely lost era franchise, a remnant from the time when original dramas for an Oscar and break the money at once could Vie. If, succeeded against all odds, Tenet during the pandemic, Hollywood was the victory to explain about the existential threat poses viruses on streaming services to the public’s attention to the contest, the idea that the writers of new ideas were expired. If this all sounds rather far-fetched, let’s cut ourselves a break. It is tempting, in these difficult times our hopes for a single solution to an intractable problem Pin: a leader who could save us; a vaccine that could immunize us; one day, when suddenly everything will be back to normal. In fact, the return to normality will be slow and limping. Even if a vaccine is available, it will be not at once; we return to our offices, our friends house and, yes, movie theaters in small groups, then more. Appealing as it was to hang on to a symbol of strength and common experiences common yearning, it has never been easier. Films need ongoing systemic support, no wonder the cinema is in dire straits. Maybe even the biggest chains may go bankrupt. They were struggling even before the pandemic: why spend money on movie tickets, snacks and parking when you can turn to the cost of a single movie ticket from the comfort of your couch only Netflix? And ‘more than taking a movie like Tenet industry to survive and thrive for help. Cinema, like many other types of businesses that are in a desperate situation. The big chains have laid off tens of thousands of employees. theater groups have sued the governor of New Jersey and Michigan Governor for the right to reopen. Meanwhile, it’s looking unlikely that the theater will be able to open in the two largest markets of America, New York and Los Angeles, back in August, as originally planned. Films are needed government assistance and on-site support during the pandemic to continue benefiting from the stimulus package passed $2Trn March. And independent film is more they need to do through this unprecedented time. no one wins in the comparison between studios and Netflix If you feel like having published during the pandemic content has been poor, you are not imagining things. The pandemic has only accelerated the rise of the streamer in Hollywood. Studios are worried that ends after the pandemic, the public has become so accustomed to having decent, new content served to them at home and do not bother heading to the movies. As a result, studies have accumulated their biggest films, rather than on Hulu, Netflix or sharing of video-on-demand services. For a family of four fee of $20 a film about Apple now rent when you can calculate four $20 per person this family that the IMAX movie to see it later? We remain as a consumer with a mixture of streaming content and even some of the types of water cooling film kickstart shared cultural conversations. Netflix has much in action films such as the old guard (released in July) and Spenser Confidential (released in March return) invested, but spend less money these movies like Warner Bros and Disney do to make the biggest hits of the year and often shows. This does not mean that a more guaranteed money high-quality movies just by looking at checkout bombs as Dark Phoenix or Dolittle, but many critics have observed that Netflix movies subtle feeling more followed, and not as a substitute for the big summer blockbusters , fans agree: one from Barclays 2018 study found that the public quality of Netflix movies reported “which means worse” than most of the studio versions. Of course, this strategy are studies it depends on the idea that Hollywood will be able to publish the films back in theaters later this year or early next year hold. And the truth is that we have no idea when we can go back to theater for public spaces. Polls conducted in the spring have suggested that many consumers do not do it for a while ‘risk to leave the theater to be ready, even if it means a long time to see, wait spicy press as Mulan. Hollywood may be too dependent on big blockbuster movies While I do not suggest Tenet streaming would be released just a movie to be enjoyed with a wide audience, perhaps this is the time to rethink their priorities for Hollywood. focus right now, they tend Studios to film the superhero or big-budget horror films with small budgets that can make a nice profit. Relatively little of the central budget comedies or dramas also get Greenlit. But that is suitable exactly the kind of movie streaming. Although streaming movies not quite measure theatrical releases, services like Netflix and Hulu have niches found in some kinds that the big Hollywood studios, older have left, like Rome-com and serious dramas half of the budget. Maybe if traditional studies had invested for five Bloods in other movies like Hulu or Netflix Palm Springs, they could compete with Netflix, sitting on the market for streaming takes place on 2s black widows and Top Gun until the world changed release. The cinematic experience is not obsolete there is some good news in this rather depressing update is buried. The hype surrounding Tenet suggests that people miss the urgent summer blockbuster experience, and will not disappear. Lately, I have a lot of some of the best memories that I thought in the movies when a public IMAX has lost its collective mind when a certain character in Mission Impossible: Fallout was struck by lightning; or the guy who always said “Hell yes,” as Vin Diesel and his massive crew safely pulled one on the streets of Rio de Janeiro in Fast Five scream; or, as I have seen audiences with Get Out on his feet were cheering at the end of this film. We will have this experience again, even if Tom Cruise personally to build an isolated city for an entire production team to do. It can be, if Daniel Craig James Bond film last fall in No Time die in November. It may be the first 9 Fast & Furious next spring. It may be later than that. Theater will make a lot of changes to try to stay afloat in the meantime, how to reduce the capacity or less viewers are allowed to order food during a movie. But-assuming enough done to protect them from this time to catch up in the business to keep demand for a fun night out at the movies will fight buoy Theater when something finally begin to change for the better. Correction, July 21 The original version of this story false information that Christopher Nolan last week insisted that Tenet would release this summer. The director took in support for cinemas throughout the pandemic influenza, but never explained, must that Tenet to come out this summer.
