As film studio executives struggle to determine what movies should be held for a theatrical release and what titles can become streaming exclusives, AT&T CEO John Stankey reaffirmed that Tenet will absolutely go to theaters.
Stankey was asked about the growing industry trend of taking certain movies originally scheduled for a theatrical release and making them streaming-only titles. Warner Bros., which is owned by AT&T, moved its animated Scooby Doo movie to an on-demand rental title before it landed on WarnerMedia’s streaming service HBO Max. Comcast’s NBCUniversal made Trolls World Tour to a digital-only title, and Disney has sent three movies, including Hamilton, straight to Disney Plus.
Warner Bros. blockbusters like Wonder Woman...
