5 Reasons Why Now Would Be The Perfect Time to Release Tenet On VOD

Tenet was either going to be a make or break hit, but unfortunately not many people have seen it yet because the movie theaters and Covid-19. 

That's why it is perfect timing for Tenet to finally come home on VOD, due to these 5 reasons...

 

1. It's been Dropping Steadily At The Box Office Ever Since It Released In the U.S. 

Tenet is actually a massive box office hit interantionally so go Tenet. But when it comes to performance stateside, it's been a little underwhelming. In fact, in only its second week, Tenet made only $6.7 million at the box office. There is no denying that it's caused enough people to stay home and not go see Tenet in theaters.

2. Many People Who Have Seen It Say It's the Kind Of Movie That You Need To Watch Multiple Times

I’ve asked a number of people who have seen Tenet what they thought about it, and I’ve heard two major responses. 1) It’s great and the kind of movie that you have to watch multiple times to fully understand it, and 2) It’s really cool, but it’s needlessly complicated." There could be another kind of audience that will watch a movie a million times if they have to just catch every little detail. 

3. Overexposure of Ads Might Be Creating Tenet Fatigue

"The marketing team has been a little annoying, I understand that the movie is trying to drum up excitement but it's actually had the inverse effect on me..

But the fact that several Americans still don’t have that comfort level to go to the movies, just makes all the marketing seem a little bit icky. Like, do you really want us to risk our health just to see this movie? If it was just brought home, then this wouldn’t even be an issue."

4. Robert Pattison Is Hotter Than Ever Right Now

It has Robert Pattison in it and the future-Batman star has a whole new look and a big fan base since the Twilight Days.

5. It Could Get A Second Wind And Open The Door For Other Big Budget Blockbusters At Home

The Blockbuster is supposedly back with the new film, but with the box office performance it seems to not be the case. He got the intention of the movie coming out in theaters, but now VOD? If it released in VOD, it could pave the way for massively budgeted films in the future to come home to.

What do you think?
