Hollywood films are now making their way to theatres. Christopher Nolan's Tenet topped the $200 million mark at the international box office over the weekend but remains to struggle domestically without such major cities New York and Los Angeles in play. Warner Bros. reported that the big-budget reconnaissance earned $4.7 million domestically from 2,930 theaters in its third weekend for a North American total of $36.1 million. The studio asks that Tenet is far from over, and assumes a huge bump in ticket sales as more cinemas on both coasts are allowed to flip on the lights.

Internationally, where theaters are leading their U.S. counterparts in terms of reopenings, Tenet earned another $25 million for a foreign tally of $214 million and a worldwide total of $250.1 million. Nolan's $200 film was the first Hollywood tentpole to get a brave opening on the big screen, but its performance has sparked worry that many moviegoers, at least in the U.S., aren't yet ready to return en masse to the multiplex despite enhanced sanitary measures and social distancing.

As a result, studios are once again rearranging their fall and early winter calendars, including delaying the Oct. 2 release of Wonder Woman 1984. New York and Los Angeles also endure a major issue, since they are the two largest moviegoing markets in the country. As of Friday, roughly 27 percent of the domestic marketplace was still dark. That includes most of California. Limitations include Orange County, San Diego and Sacramento, where theaters are turning in big numbers for Tenet (three of the top five grossing theaters were in the OC). Warners considers this an especially encouraging sign.
