Christopher Nolan’s sci-fi blockbuster has had a relatively encouraging US
box office debut, following a healthy fortnight on release internationally
Tenet has taken $20.2m on its opening weekend of release in the US – an impressive haul despite being about $30m down on director Christopher Nolan’s opening weekend average.
The figure, which takes in the long Labor Day weekend and includes previews in the US and
Canada, makes for a strong result, given that 45% of US venues remain closed and those that are open have reduced capacity.
