I assume that because of COVID WB greatly scaled back on their ad plans for this movie, so it's probably not as much as 175M.

Dunkirk's budget was $190 million. Its international opening was $55.4 million. Final worldwide gross was $525 million.
The fact that Tenet did $53 million under the current circumstances is phenomenal, and would have still been pretty good even if it was released last year.
Yes, especially with fall/winter around the corner. Sit in theaters, restaurants and more feel like ticking time bombs. People can't even wear masks correctly in Walmart for crying out loud
No it's not. Direct comparison should be Inception not Dunkirk, no way WB want Tenet to only get Dunkirk money. In normal circumstances this is a billion dollars movie with $300m debut numbers. Only Avatar leg could get $53m opening to a billion.
First week is hype week, with WOM is not as good as Inception, let see how much it will end up.
I read somewhere if stateside dont make at least $100m to $150m, WB may consider delay Wonder Woman.
Just got back, audio seemed fine. Had no real confusing bits at all sound wise, so not sure what you're referring to.
Inception only grossed $830 million WW. Tenet was never going to be a guaranteed billion dollars, that's a crazy expectation.
You're also making the mistake of comparing this to normal times. With things the way they are a huge opening simply isn't possible. Limited seats, differing levels of lockdown/isolation etc. I'm not necessarily saying this movie will have above average legs but the possibility is certainly there. Nothing else of note is really releasing so it'll be in cinemas for a while.
I do agree though that the movie will likely end up having a disappointing box office run.
Some estimates put this pandemic to last for 3 years. So better get comfortable with masks.
Seems much better than I expected since how limited theatres are. Capacity in my local IMAX is at like a quarter or maybe even less than normal.
I wasn't too worried either since cases have pretty much tethered off last month or so here. Especially in my town and city.

Good news for theatres too. I enjoyed watching it. Cinemas have been open here for months now (Netherlands), they just didn't have anything new to play.
This makes no sense. I read your article and I don't think there's a single movie out there that would need 800 million to breakeven. I mean the movie costs 230M...it's not like marketing costs would drive the break even point that much.
I think it's general consensus at this point that the mix basically caused audio problems, or rather, obscured the dialogue.
But if you heard everything perfectly fine that's great !
Ah, yeah it was mixed down to FM stereo, lol, the dialogue was fine at the drive in :)
800 million might be exaggerated, but you have to take into account that the studio doesn't get the whole box office take, they have to split that with theaters. How exactly it gets split is complicated and i won't pretend to have great insight into that, other users here might know more. But for example, iirc one factor is that the studio gets a bigger share of opening weekends, after which it gets smaller each week. They also typically get smaller shares in overseas markets than domestic. Of course there's probably also some Hollywood accounting at play.
Big fan of all things Christopher Nolan, thought Inception was simple and straightforward. This was the most confusing movie I'd ever seen and as a result not very compelling. I might easily change my mind but at least initially it's my least favorite film of his. Even the music wasn't very memorable. I thought the audio mix was actually good in Interstellar but here I couldn't understand dialogue half the time. Action was great though.
