Christopher Nolan’s sci-fi epic “Tenet” is charting a new course for blockbusters during the pandemic by opening in foreign territories before it lands in the U.S.
However, many of the factors that make “Tenet” the milestone film in the cinema industry’s post-coronavirus road to recovery are simultaneously elements that expose it to piracy. That runs the risk that a thriller that thrives on keeping its twists under wraps will have its secrets exposed before domestic audiences have a chance to watch it.
“In some ways ‘Tenet’ is a perfect storm for piracy, in that it has raised expectations, both about the film itself and the cinema experience,” one anti-piracy veteran said, speaking to Variety on condition of anonymity. “Also, it has limited availability and suffers from a staggered release.”

Personally I think this would a great time to “innovate” (not..) direct to home viewing for new releases aka Netflix style but ala carte at a reasonable price.
Rental market seems good on Google Play and Apple Movies.
Was actually thinking about this.. for movies like the major blockbusters of the year id happily pay R99-250 as that’s what 2-3 tickets gonna cost me without ‘specials’.
So since they not doing that.. October for a decent version online?

While not "a la carte", Disney is busy doing this.

This is precisely the same argument held for everything that releases in the US first.
This regional exclusive release BS buffers up fake markets and should see everyone involved burnt at the nearest available stake.
But let's whine about how it leads to piracy instead of doing the one thing that would counter-act the supposed reason for the piracy in the first place.
This logic is astonishing.
4 Producers have my vote:
Steven Spielberg
George Lucas
Jerry Bruckheimer
Christopher Nolan.
Michael Bay when I need to see some pillaging without reason.
Technically speaking they're Directors and Producers.

Finally saw Tenet on Saturday. While I enjoyed it the movie didn't quite grab me like Inception or Interstellar did. The movie ended very strong though. I suspect the movie will get better with each viewing
