Tenet returning to theaters, this time with an exclusive Dune 2 sneak peek

Warner Bros. is rewinding time and putting Christoper Nolan's science fiction thriller Tenet back into theaters.

The studio announced on Thursday that the Oppenheimer filmmaker's movie will screen on 70mm IMAX, IMAX digital, and 70mm film for one week, starting Feb. 23. Attendees at the screenings will also see exclusive footage from Denis Villeneuve's Dune: Part Two, which will open this March 1.

In a statement, Nolan said, “Seeing the way audiences responded to our large format presentations of Oppenheimer, I’m thrilled that Warner Bros. is giving audiences a chance to see Tenet the way it was intended to be seen, on the largest IMAX and large format film screens, and I’m honored to have our movie warm up the film projectors for Denis’ jaw-dropping Dune: Part Two."

“As an audience member, I have always valued Chris’ forward thinking when it comes to shooting on film and especially in large formats," Villeneuve said. "As directors, we are completely in sync; on Dune, we shot several sequences for IMAX, and I simply loved it, so for Dune: Part Two, we pushed it to 100 percent of the movie. Working with the IMAX format was the only way to capture the experience of Arrakis, Giedi Prime, and the Imperium for audiences. That is why I am just as eager to see Tenet again, but now in 70mm IMAX, the way they filmed it, to fully appreciate his vision for this incredible film.”

Tenet stars John David Washington and Robert Pattinson as operatives working for the titular secret organization in a world where time travel is possible. The film was released in the late summer of 2020 and earned $58 million in theaters with its box office returns undoubtedly hurt by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Nolan has always been an enthusiastic cheerleader for the big screen. Speaking to EW in 2020, shortly after the start of the pandemic, the director insisted that, "When this crisis passes, the need for collective human engagement, the need to live and love and laugh and cry together will be more powerful than ever."

Nolan's faith in the cinema has been justified by the success of Oppenheimer, his three-hour biopic about theoretical physicist Robert J. Oppenheimer which has grossed $952 million worldwide. On Tuesday, the film earned 13 Oscar nominations, with Nolan receiving nods in the categories of Best Picture, Best Picture, and Best Adapted Screenplay.
