NOLAN PLEASE DON'T MAKE US MAKE THIS CHOICE
OMG...."Inversion". Yep, Like I said, possible multiple timeline theory (Mulitverse) but it seems they can't travel back that far but we will see how the rules are established. Also what technology is being used. Loved the 1st trailer but this was it. Wow, John David....Denzel has to be proud, this is a huge role for him. Also Nolan gave the Brotha the lead of the film. Definitely has "Inception" vibes as well with this being the 10th Anniversary. Nolan please don't do this to us. This is not us movie heads fault. I say there has to be a compromise with this theater Vs VOD thing. Listen WB and Nolan, if you release the movie even in a few months...it will most likely lose money. I'm sorry it is what it is. We are in uncharted territory. Will some people take the risk? Yes. But with no treatment or vaccine...people will stay home. This isn't the 80's anymore, people have loads of entertainment options. But this would easily do very well opening weekend. But there's other options. If you push it back to the Holiday season....there's to many movies back ended to the end of this year so it will be crowded. If you push it to 2021, that's a longer wait when you know it's ready for the world.
Instead of going straight to VOD......release it limited in Theaters for about 2 weeks globally. There is a small chance to still bring in a few Hundred Million. But you must immediately then drop it VOD. It will still make millions. I would pay the 24.99 VOD (Rent to own) no problem. Because I know this is the type of film I would watch again. Yes people could pirate it during those 2 weeks but that copy would be subpar......I'd pay the markup for a quality VOD stream. I saw "Inception" twice. Yes I want to watch this on the big screen. But wearing a mask for 2 hours? I don't know. Plus with the AC and ventilation, this disease could spread in an enclosed space like that. I noticed they took the release date off this trailer. Look I know this is hard Nolan. We love the theater and movies. But delaying this to 2021 just isn't necessary. Limited release and then break the all time VOD Records. But loved the trailer.......this is messed up what's happening, but I'm taking a wait and see approach before going back to the theater quickly.
This poster....I know this is going to be fire. Nolan don't play with us Man.
