Tenet 300 million box office, slowly make progress at the box office

 Tenet 300 million box office, slowly make progress at the box office.

Christopher Nolan's Tenet continues to make progress at the box office and is now nearing $300 million worldwide. Even though the box office has become dominated by sequels, reboots, and remakes, Nolan has proven to be one of the rare filmmakers who can make original movies that perform well. His original movies Inception, Interstellar, and Dunkirk each made over $500 million worldwide, and that gave Tenet similar box office expectations heading into 2020.

However, Tenet's theatrical release and subsequent box office performance have been dramatically altered due to the coronavirus pandemic. The movie was delayed a few times but still rolled out in theaters where possible around the world starting in late August. Tenet has performed well internationally given the circumstances, but the domestic box office has been underwhelming with major markets like New York and Los Angeles not having theaters open. Despite all of that, Tenet is closing in on another box office milestone.
