Christopher Nolan, the acclaimed filmmaker, is set to bring back one of his most underrated movies to the big screen. According to scooper Jeff Sneider, Warner Bros. is planning to re-release Christopher Nolan’s mind-bending action-thriller, Tenet, in standard and IMAX theaters for a limited run from February 23 to 29.

The decision to re-release Tenet comes as a strategic move to support the launch of Warner Bros.’s highly anticipated film, Dune: Part Two, which is scheduled for release shortly after Tenet’s limited run. Jeff Sneider suggests that this move is aimed at rebuilding the relationship between Christopher Nolan and Warner Bros., as Nolan had previously distanced himself from the studio following Tenet’s release.

It is reported that Christopher Nolan himself pitched the idea of re-releasing Tenet to Warner Bros., who welcomed it as an opportunity to mend ties with the acclaimed filmmaker. This development aligns with Warner Bros. executives’ earlier commitment to win back Nolan after he took his next project, Oppenheimer, to Universal Studios.

If the re-release of Tenet comes to fruition, it will mark another significant attempt by Warner Bros. to reconcile with Christopher Nolan. This move follows a recent olive branch extended to Nolan by Peloton instructor Jenn Sherman, after he criticized her for disparaging Tenet during a class.

The decision to bring back Tenet to theaters is expected to give the film the attention it deserves, as it initially faced challenges in ticket sales due to its mid-pandemic release window. With the re-release, fans of Christopher Nolan’s work will have the opportunity to experience the mind-bending action-thriller once again on the big screen.
