  • Well we might be in for another formal delay announcement for good now I feel... Paramount's moves here are bold.

  • Here's the thing about TENET - it seems like it's about to pull the trigger on a staggered release, going international first and then the U.S., which is what a lot of international exhibitors have been crying out for. “We will share a new 2020 …

  • That might be a solution if US cinemas don't reopen this year. Three week international release before US VOD means piracy that could come from VOD first all around wouldn't be as bad as it could be (if that's a concern), international cinemas are h…
