Tenet (Christopher Nolan) *spoilers from post 475*

pixelburp

Just in time for the second wave. Still feels way too optimistic to pin a release that soon from this current present. A lot of those named countries are juggling with a return to lockdown, while god knows where the US will be in September. Half the country couldn't be persuaded to lockdown the first time around, never mind a second wave.

To be honest it's far more likely that neither will be remembered much at all.

Dunkirk is a cinematic masterpiece. That won't be forgotten. It'll probably be appreciated more in the future if anything.

What's it to you whether this film makes money or not? I've seen you mentioning it in other threads as well. Expecting a reply along the lines of something something obscene budget.

I never mentioned budget and don't care how much this cost so something something yourself I just think it's insane to open any new film in this climate because the world is still spiralling. If I'm a broken record then so what? Didn't think it offended anyone's sensibilities to stress about industries opening prematurely. Push them back to 2021 and stop this hopscotch

The plot thickens , apparently Ireland is not one of the 70 countries

I see it's not listed but we're possibly lumped under the United Kingdom. Have they explicitly stated not Ireland? It makes no sense not to.

Entertainment.ie have a story that we are not on the release list for august

Presumably too small a market to be worth distribution? Cos otherwise I'd have thought our stats were better than the UK. Though whether it's related or not, the film industry is a multi billion one across the water so maybe their lobbyists did their job lol

Well Iceland is included so... I'm presuming for now it's just us being lumped under the UK.

Right. Yeah then you're probably right. Man I hope for the day when terraforming is a thing and we can perhaps move the island away from the neighbours, park somewhere else. Sunnier, by someone more continental

Even with the current circumstances, I’d be amazed if they’d separate out the Irish and UK releases. They’re usually treated as one territory for the purposes of film releases, especially by big studios. I mean, we aren’t on the list... but it would be unprecedented for them to hold off on Ireland when the UK gets the green light.

Remember most other European countries need English language films to be localised and translated. So that’s why they’d often be separated out into each individual country.

Only issue I could see is if more Irish cinemas decide to hold off on reopening. I’d imagine the likes of Cineworld are holding off until they can throw something like Tenet into 90% of their reduced capacity screens, but it’d be wild for them to stay closed if a major new blockbuster is available (and the public health situation is stable).

Wait til Scotland becomes independent and they'll share the frustration of being lumped in as part of the UK region Hey, might actually force companies to rebadge these things as something else if there's suddenly 2 English speaking countries in Europe that aren't the UK.

johnny_ultimate

“So, in the interest of being accurate in our reporting, we waited for full confirmation from Warner Bros. on the date”

With all due respect to Entertainment.ie, surely they should have waited for this confirmation before publishing their article about Ireland not being on the list :pac:

Three. Malta, while it has various languages, is English-speaking. I don't know if its cinemas are treated strangely for distribution purposes.

Arghus

Well, we'll see what happens. But I have a feeling in me waters that we won't be rushing to go back to the cinema in three/four weeks time. Hopefully I'm wrong, of course.

Maltese is still their primary language, but they are comfortable in English as a former colony. But you always see/hear "UK and Ireland" as a pairing, never "UK and Malta". So it's more than just language.

This film seems very convoluted - still looking forward to seeing it though.

Although I'm not in a place where I would feel comfortable in a theatre for 2-3 hours so I'll need to hold back for a while

tickets booked for imax in cork on 26th. seems mad but when you around 7/8 seats around you are blocked off. going to be about 20% full i would say. mad times, anyway cant wait to see it.

IFI reopening on the 26th, with the 70mm print of this as their main event Already had tickets booked for 35mm, so guess I’m going to see this twice :pac:

I saw Dunkirk in 70mm in IFI and thought it was spectacular. Although I didn't see that one in the Cineworld's "IMAX" to compare, I wasn't left wanting from the IFI.

Don’t me wrong it was still great but it just looked like it was made for IMAX

johnny_ultimate

I vastly, vastly prefer the look of real film to digital IMAX, especially for a film shot on film (IMAX or otherwise). I’m not the biggest fan of the Cineworld screen as it all just looks a bit too digitised for my liking.

In order of preference for a film of this ilk: Real 70mm IMAX, standard 70mm, 35mm, digital IMAX, standard digital

Cineworld also re-opening on the 26th to show 'Tenet' on multiple screens, including IMAX of course.

I imagine the likes of johnny_ultimate will be particularly pleased to know they've got a 4D showing too
