Veteran filmmaker Christopher Nolan’s latest venture Tenet will start streaming on HBO Max from May 1.
The film sponsored by Hollywood giant Warner Bros. was postponed because of the Covid pandemic and as opposed to releasing in July 2020, it opened in 70 countries, including Canada, France, Japan, and the UK, last August. Afterward, it delivered in select urban communities in the US on September 3.
Streaming platform HBO Max made the declaration of the sci-fi espionage thriller coming to their service via online media.
“Good news for anyone experiencing time linearly: Tenet is streaming May 1 on HBO via HBO Max!” the tweet read.
The film released before Warner Media, the parent company of HBO Max, concluded that their titles would at the same time discharge in theaters and on the OTT platform.
WarnerMedia CEO Jason Kilar, in December, had declared that all of HBO Max’s 2021 titles will deliver on the streaming platform and theaters simultaneously,
The move was taken to recover the financial losses the organization bore because of the pandemic.
The decision acquired the fury of numerous filmmakers, including Nolan, who plan their movies for a big-screen seeing experience.
Communicating his displeasure at that time, Nolan lashed out at HBO Max after they declared their hybrid release decision.
“Some of our industry’s biggest filmmakers and most important movie stars went to bed the night before thinking they were working for the greatest movie studio and woke up to find out they were working for the worst streaming service,” Nolan had said in December.
Tenet is the story of a secret agent who somehow figures how to manipulate time and change the things that can happen in the future.
Actor John David Washington played the lead, while Robert Pattinson, Martin Donovan, Michael Caine, and Kenneth Branagh were likewise essential for the gathering.
The film got mixed reviews as a result of a convoluted plot that was difficult to get a handle on.
