Tickets for the upcoming Christopher Nolan blockbuster Tenet will go on sale Aug. 21, though they won't be for its general theatrical release.
According to IndieWire, moviegoers can buy tickets to see Tenet during three days of sneak previews beginning on Aug. 31. This will be restricted to just one screening after 5:00 p.m., though locations that screen Tenet in large-format screens can hold an additional showing. Tickets for the general domestic release of Tenet, meanwhile, will be available starting Aug. 27.
Along with news of when tickets can go on sale, Warner Bros. has also announced a large number of restrictions on theaters exhibiting Tenet in its general theatrical release. Most notably, the studio is requiring it receive 63% of the grosses of Tenet during its entire release, that it's preceded by trailers for three Warner Bros. titles and that theaters shift all their marketing toward Tenet.
John David Washington is the new Protagonist in Christopher Nolan’s original sci-fi action spectacle “Tenet.” Armed with only one word—Tenet—and fighting for the survival of the entire world, the Protagonist journeys through a twilight world of international espionage on a mission that will unfold in something beyond real time. Not time travel. Inversion.
Written and directed by Christopher Nolan, Tenet stars John David Washington, Robert Pattinson, Elizabeth Debicki, Kenneth Branaugh, Dimple Kapadia, Martin Donovan, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Himesh Patel, Clémence Poésy, Denzil Smith and Michael Caine. The film opens in theaters overseas on Aug. 26. and arrives in select U.S. cities Sept. 3.
