The prolonged Australian box office drought has broken thanks to Christopher Nolan's 'Tenet', which proves audiences are willing and able to return to cinemas.
In the normal, pre-COVID-19 era, Christopher Nolan's international espionage thriller 'Tenet' would have been released on 350-plus screens, potentially grossing as much or more than his last two films, 'Dunkirk' and 'Interstellar'.
Opening on 250-plus screens on August 27, the day after its CinefestOZ premiere at Orana Cinemas in Busselton, Jeremy Sims' 'RAMS' will be the first Australian wide release since cinemas re-opened.
Warner Bros' 'Tenet' reigned in its second weekend while Disney's 'The New Mutants' opened meekly as the long, slow road to recovery for Australian cinemas continues.
