Warner Bros. is keeping movie theaters’ hopes of a summer blockbuster movie alive.

The Hollywood studio said Monday that it is releasing “Tenet,” the Christopher Nolan spy thriller in the US over Labor Day Weekend in “select cities.” Warner Bros. did not specify, which US cities will get the film, but it is safe to assume that it will debut in markets where movie theaters have been cleared to open, a rep said.

Internationally, “Tenet” will hit the big screen in over 70 countries starting August 26. Those countries include: Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Korea, Russia, Spain, and the UK.

Last week, the studio pushed “Tenet’s” August 12 release without providing a new premiere date, squashing movie theaters’ hopes for a summer blockbuster.

Disney’s live-action version of “Mulan,” set to debut in theaters globally on August 21, also suspended its premiere indefinitely following Warner Bros.’ announcement.

The news spurred AMC, the country’s largest movie theater chain to delay its reopening from July 30 until “mid-to-late August.”  The chain cited the uptick in the coronavirus, as well as a lack of new movies to screen.
