    Box Office: 'Godzilla vs. Kong' Passes 'Tenet' as Top-Grossing Pic of Pandemic Era

    by

    Warner Bros. Pictures

    The epic monster film bags an estimated additional $13.4 million in North America for a current total domestic gross of $69.5 million and $357.8 million globally.

    Apr 12, 2021

    AceShowbiz –
    “Godzilla vs. Kong” is unmoveable in its second week at North American box office. The Adam Wingard-directed epic monster movie stays atop the list with approximately $13.4 million, bringing its current total domestic gross to $69.5 million.

    As it’s expected to cross a $100 million marks domestically, a rare achievement for a movie in this pandemic era, the film has become the top-grossing pic of the pandemic era in North America. It passed Christopher Nolan’s “Tenet” total domestic gross of $57.9 million in 2020.

    Internationally, “Godzilla vs. Kong” has grossed $288.3 million for a current worldwide total of $357.8 million. According to Deadline, the movie is already set to make profit for Warner Bros., an estimated $96.4 million currently.

    “Godzilla vs. Kong” easily became a new hit upon its release in the United States on March 31. It set record for the biggest opening in the COVID-19 pandemic era with $32.2 million for the three-day weekend. The first week’s domestic sales were roughly double that of “Wonder Woman 1984” (also from WB), which previously held record for the best weekend opening in the pandemic era with $16.7 million.

    “We’re thrilled that ‘Godzilla vs. Kong’ is bringing audiences back into theaters where they are open around the world, and also delivering for our HBO Max subscribers in their homes here in the U.S.,” Warner Bros. Pictures Group chairman Toby Emmerich said in a statement.

    Back to this week’s box office, Bob Odenkirk’s “Nobody” bounces back to No. 2 with an estimated addition of $2.6 million. It pushes last week’s new release “The Unholy”, which bags approximately $2.4 million, to the third place.

    “Raya and the Last Dragon” stays put in the fourth spot with approximately $2.1 million. Rounding up the top five this week is new release “Voyagers”, a sci-fi film written and directed by Neil Burger and starring Tye Sheridan along with Lily-Rose Depp. The movie opened to an estimated $1.35 million as it received mixed reviews from critics.

      Christopher Nolan Came Up With Idea for 'Tenet' While Making 'Memento'

      by

      Warner Bros.

      The director of ‘The Dark Knight’ trilogy reveals he developed story for his latest time-bending movie from an idea he came up with during the making of his 2000 movie.

      Dec 25, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Filmmaker Christopher Nolan first came up with the idea for “Tenet” while making “Memento” 20 years ago.
      The director has always been interested in exploring metaphysical themes in his work, and in his summer blockbuster “Tenet”, John David Washington stars as a secret agent who has to embark on a time-bending mission to prevent World War III.
      However, Nolan reveals the initial kernel of the idea came to him two decades ago as he worked on psychological thriller “Memento” with Guy Pearce.

      “I had this notion of just a bullet getting sucked out of the wall and into the barrel of a gun,” he told Complex, explaining the inspiration behind his use of time inversion in the opening scenes of the 2000 movie.
      “It’s an image that I had in Memento to demonstrate the structure of that movie, but I always harboured this ambition to make a film where the characters had to deal with the physical reality of that.”
      “In a way, an idea comes to the fore when the time is right for it, and it’s a hard process to quantify, so I was doing all these other things. There are things that you learn how to make and everything in Tenet, interestingly, on the surface of it, they’re all versions of action or particular ways of filming things that I’ve tried before in a different form. You’re building on what you’ve done in the past.”
      “Tenet” which surpassed $200 million at global box office has debuted at the top of the final U.K.’s Official Film Chart of 2020. The film notched up 149,000 sales across disc and digital to outsell the rest of the top five combined.

      'Tenet' Surpasses $200 Million at Global Box Office

      by

      Warner Bros.

      While the Christopher Nolan-directed action thriller reaches the milestone worldwide, Disney’s live-action remake of ‘Mulan’ opens with an underwhelming $23.3 million.
      Sep 14, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Christopher Nolan’s action thriller “Tenet” has surpassed the $200 million (£156.4 million) milestone at the global box office.
      The first major blockbuster to hit the big screen following the coronavirus shutdown is continuing to draw fans back to theatres, adding $6.7 million (£5.2 million) from the North American market in its second weekend on release.
      It also brought in $10 million (£7.8 million) from the Chinese box office to take the movie’s worldwide total to $207 million (£161.9 million).
      Meanwhile, Disney’s live-action remake of “Mulan”, starring Liu Yifei as the titular heroine, was another new title for theatre-goers in China to check out, although it opened with an underwhelming $23.3 million (£18.2 million) after filmmakers came under fire for shooting parts of the picture in Xinjiang – a highly controversial province where Uighur Muslims have been detained in mass internment camps – and adding a message of thanks to local authorities in the closing credits.
      Disney’s Chief Financial Officer Christine McCarthy has since responded to the backlash received over the filming location, reports Deadline.
      “Let me just put something into context,” she explained. “The real facts are that ‘Mulan’ was primarily shot – almost in entirety – in New Zealand.
      “In an effort to accurately depict some of the unique landscape and geography of the country of China for this period drama, we filmed scenery in 20 different locations in China.”
      Although “Mulan” is available in some theatres globally, Disney bosses opted to release the film via its Disney+ app for U.S. audiences as a premium add-on, costing $30 (£23).

      Warner Bros. Refuses to Release Big-Budgeted 'Tenet' as Video on Demand

      by

      Warner Bros. Pictures

      Warner Brothers has no plan to release Christopher Nolan’s latest big-budgeted movie on home entertainment platforms because it’s ‘meant for the big screen.’
      Sep 6, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Ann Sarnoff, CEO of Warner Bros., insists bosses at the studio had no plans to release Christopher Nolan’s blockbuster “Tenet” straight to premium video on demand (PVOD).
      The highly anticipated time-twisting spy thriller is now playing in theatres worldwide and, despite rumours claiming that Nolan was controlling the studio’s decisions regarding the release of the film, Sarnoff insists there’s no truth in the speculation.
      “It’s overstated. Let me share with you the process that we went through,” she tells The Hollywood Reporter. “Right when Covid struck, we started looking at alternative ways to think about movie releases.”
      Although they made the decision to debut some releases, such as the animated Scooby Doo movie “Scoob!”, on home entertainment platforms, she insists they “started thinking about more innovative ways of releasing” Tenet.
      “Theatres were very upfront about saying they could give us three to four times as many screens as normal,” she shares. “So that started to change our thinking. We are happy with where we are. Some markets still aren’t open, but it is a marathon and not a sprint.”
      When asked if the studio ever considered putting the movie on demand, she says, “No. It is a remarkable, cinematic, beautiful film. It is so impactful. It is a movie meant for the big screen. I’m very proud of our approach. A lot of people are pushing stuff into next year. Tenet absolutely deserves to be seen in theatres.”
      “Tenet”, starring John David Washington, Robert Pattinson, and Elizabeth Debicki, opened in 41 markets outside North America last weekend (28-30Aug20), scoring a strong post-coronavirus box office comeback with a $53 million (£39.7 million) theatrical launch. It opened in U.S. theatres this week.

      John David Washington Had to Unlearn What He Is Used to Doing for 'Tenet' Role

      by

      Warner Bros.

      The ‘BlacKkKlansman’ actor reveals that director Christopher Nolan instructed his stunt team to create fight scenes in reverse and asked his cast to learn to speak backwards.
      Sep 1, 2020
      AceShowbiz – John David Washington had to learn to do everything backwards for his latest role in director Christopher Nolan’s ambitious “Tenet”.
      The “BlackKklansman” star reveals Nolan instructed his stunt team to create fight scenes in reverse, while calling on his cast to learn to speak backwards.
      “I had to learn how to blink, walk, talk, fight, run, block, punch backwards and forwards…,” the former professional sportsman tells “Good Morning America”. “It was a great challenge for me having a football background, being able to unlearn what I’m used to doing.”
      “We were sort of discovering these moves together with the stunt coordinators… It was a great experience. It was taxing on the body but it was worth it for sure.”
      [embedded content]
      But learning to speak in reverse was a real head scratcher and Washington turned to an app for help.
      “You speak a line or a word into the app and it says it backwards to you and you learn how to say that…,” he adds. “Some of the best work I’ve ever seen from an actor came from Kenneth Branagh – he was also saying his lines backwards but with a Russian accent… It was insane.”

      'Tenet' Leads Post-Coronavirus Box Office With $53 Million Global Debut

      by

      Warner Bros.

      The Christopher Nolan-directed new thriller has finally got its theatrical launch in 41 markets outside North America, while ‘X-Men’ spin-off ‘The New Mutants’ earns $7 million domestically.
      Aug 31, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Christopher Nolan’s new thriller “Tenet” is leading the post-coronavirus box office comeback with a $53 million (£39.7 million) theatrical launch.
      The Warner Bros. release, starring Robert Pattinson, John David Washington and Elizabeth Debicki opened in 41 markets outside North America this weekend (August 28-30), scoring its strongest start in the U.K., where it banked $7.1 million (£5.3 million).
      Praising the impressive opening as “a fantastic start,” studio chairman Toby Emmerich stated, “Given the unprecedented circumstances of this global release we know we’re running a marathon, not a sprint, and look forward to long playability for this film globally for many weeks to come.”
      “Tenet” is still yet to open in the two largest markets of China and the U.S., where it will launch on September 3, in time for America’s Labor Day bank holiday weekend.
      U.S. theater-goers instead flocked to check out the long-delayed “X-Men” spin-off “The New Mutants”, which grossed $7 million (£5.2 million) – the biggest opening for any new film since the COVID-19 shutdown, even though it was panned by critics and cinemas remained shuttered in a number of states, including California and New York.
      Keanu Reeves’ “Bill & Ted Face the Music” was another new release, debuting on both video-on-demand and in select theaters, where it made just under $1.1 million (£824,000), as was “The Personal History of David Copperfield”, a Charles Dickens adaptation starring Dev Patel, which opened with $520,000 (£389,600) from 1,360 theaters.

      Travis Scott Accidentally Plays Music for Christopher Nolan's 'Tenet' During Interview

      by

      GQ Magazine/Adrienne Raquel

      The ‘Butterfly Effect’ rapper has recorded a track for the upcoming movie starring John David William and Robert Pattinson and described the film as ‘very fire’ in a magazine interview.
      Aug 19, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Travis Scott has secretly penned music for Christopher Nolan’s new spy epic “Tenet”.
      The “Butterfly Effect” hitmaker unintentionally revealed the song during an interview with a reporter for GQ magazine at his office, by playing it to them by mistake.
      The interviewer confirmed it was a track for the film, known as “Travis mix 16”, that they describe as a “brain-liquefying trip through time and space.”

      Nolan also confirmed Scott is working on the track, telling GQ about the rapper’s contribution over email, “His voice became the final piece of a yearlong puzzle. His insights into the musical and narrative mechanism (composer) Ludwig Goransson and I were building were immediate, insightful, and profound.”
      Scott has seen the mysterious movie starring John David Washington, Robert Pattinson, and Elizabeth Debicki, which was due for release in July (20), but will now debut in the U.K. on 26 August.
      “I can’t even explain it,” Scott says of the film. “You literally just have to watch it. It’s very fire.”
      Few details of the film are known to those outside its production team and cast, but it is believed to be an espionage caper featuring time travel.

      'Tenet' Gets Worldwide Release Date After Four Delays Caused by Coronavirus Pandemic

      by

      Warner Bros.

      The much-anticipated new film from Christopher Nolan will hit the cinemas in a number of other countries first before it opens in the States in early September.
      Jul 28, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Christopher Nolan’s much-anticipated new film “Tenet” has finally landed a release date after four attempts to hit cinemas amid the coronavirus clampdown.
      The film will hit screens in over 70 countries on 26 August, in Canada on 27 August and in the U.S. on 3 September.
      Nolan’s “Interstellar” will also mark its 10th anniversary with a re-release around the same time.
      Croatia, Denmark, Egypt, Estonia, Finland, Indonesia, Italy, Slovakia, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, Ukraine and the U.K. are among the countries that will get to see “Tenet” first.
      It is also scheduled for release in Kazakhstan and Russia on 10 September and in Japan the following week.

      The film was pulled from the Warner Bros. release calendar last week (ends July 24) as movie bosses considered scrapping plans to release the film globally and traditionally on the same day because so many cinemas remain closed due to the COVID crisis.
      “Our goals throughout this process have been to ensure the highest odds of success for our films while also being ready to support our theatre partners with new content as soon as they could safely reopen,” Toby Emmerich, the chairman of Warner Bros. Pictures Group said in a statement.
      “We’re grateful for the support we’ve received from exhibitors and remain steadfast in our commitment to the theatrical experience around the world.”
      “Unfortunately, the pandemic continues to proliferate, causing us to reevaluate our release dates. Amidst all this continued uncertainty, we have decided to vacate the current dates for our next two releases. We will share a new 2020 release date imminently for ‘Tenet’, Christopher Nolan’s wholly original and mind-blowing feature. We are not treating ‘Tenet’ like a traditional global day-and-date release, and our upcoming marketing and distribution plans will reflect that.”
