That includes two pretty lackluster weekends where the film made about $9.5 million and $6.7 million at the box office. Bock added that with no big films, theaters are "basically left to fend for themselves booking library titles and alternate content." Based solely on "Tenet's" performance thus far, those markets alone aren't going to immediately normalize box office revenue. However, there are no promises that even if those cities open theaters that audiences will want to return, Bock said. "Opening NYC and LA will provide a small boost, but it's doubtful that it would heal the box office wound that COVID has inflicted," he said.
