Going to flop hard?
Despite good reviews, Tom Hanks, and a director with a good track record, there seems to be no hype or interest from audiences in this film at all.

shareIn theatres ?
shareNo probably on streaming/ rental services.
shareOh so a flop head
shareA lot of theaters are closed in many places and even where they are open, some people are going to be reluctant to go see anything. I think the film would have done well at the box office if it wasn't for Covid.
shareTell Tennent that
shareIf you're implying that Tenet "did well," I can tell you that it did well enough that it scared off all the studios from releasing any further blockbusters to theaters. It was the litmus test for whether or not big films could be successful in the Covid-era box office and it failed, hence the fact that Wonder Woman, Bond and so forth were all either pushed back or removed from the 2020 slate entirely.
Yes, Tenet's haul would be great for a film like News of the World, but you have to consider the budget and genre. Even in the best of times a film like News of the World would only perform modestly at the box office. It's too artsy to attract a wide audience.
