Tenet<\/em><\/strong> is facing yet another roadblock to its theatrical release. The\u00a0Christopher Nolan<\/strong> action movie has a reported runtime of app<\/a>roximately 150 minutes \u2014 a lengthy runtime that is becoming standard for action tentpoles these days, but is way above the standard that China is allowing for films opening in its newly reopened movie theaters. Part of China\u2019s new coronavirus (COVID-19) health and safety measures as the country reopens movie theaters is that films playing at the theaters can\u2019t run more than two hours. This presents a major problem for the two hour-plus\u00a0Tenet<\/em> and the worldwide box office numbers it needs to rake in for Warner Bros. to make back its money.<\/p>\n

Tenet<\/em> may be barred from theaters in China, per the China Film Associations reopening plans. Last week,\u00a0Variety\u00a0reported on China\u2019s plan to reopen movie theaters, per the China Film Association. The country had briefly reopened theaters in March once coronavirus cases had dropped to manageable numbers, but closed again soon after following a resurgence in cases from overseas. China is taking an even stricter approach in its July reopening, only opening in low-risk areas and implementing new health and safety measures that could prove a major obstacle for\u00a0Tenet<\/em> and other major Hollywood films that run over two hours. The new rule from the\u00a0China Film Association requires that movies<\/a> released in China can\u2019t run more than two hours, in an effort to minimize the amount of time moviegoers have to be in close quarters. It was\u00a0Indiewire\u00a0that pointed out that this could throw a wrench in the global release of one of the biggest upcoming Hollywood films, which has recently been delayed indefinitely\u00a0by Warner Bros.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s been reported that the\u00a0Tenet<\/em>\u00a0runtime\u00a0clocks in at 149 minutes and 59 seconds. Neither Nolan nor Warner Bros. have confirmed the official runtime yet, which comes courtesy of a Korean ratings board and may still be subject to change. But even give or take a few minutes, and\u00a0Tenet<\/em> will still be far above the required two-hour maximum runtime to play in Chinese theaters.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s unclear if Nolan would consider cutting\u00a0Tenet<\/em> down for Chinese audiences, nor has China set a release date yet for\u00a0Tenet<\/em>. By the time it does hit theaters in China, the rule could even potentially be lifted. But it does throw a wrench in Warner Bros.\u2019 theatrical plans for the film, which will likely open internationally first, per reports of the U.S. Tenet<\/em>\u00a0delay.\u00a0Warner Bros. reportedly\u00a0needs 80% of movie theaters\u00a0open around the world in order to make back the greatest possible on their reported $200 million-plus investment in\u00a0Tenet<\/em>, and China is one of the biggest international markets, if\u00a0Tenet<\/em> were to open globally before opening domestically. It\u2019s a difficult dilemma for Warner Bros: forego a theatrical release in China and lose out on a major international market, or risk displeasing their star filmmaker by cutting the film for China\u2019s theaters?<\/p>\n

This is just the cherry on top of\u00a0Tenet<\/em>\u2018s theatrical woes, as Warner Bros. ponders a new 2020 domestic release date.<\/p>\n
