Now the collections for Tenet are okay but the sad part is they are dropping considerably with each passing day. A per-screen average for the film on Saturday was $623 and on Sunday it went down to $595. On Wednesday the average touched a low of $371 and by the time it reached Thursday, the per-screen average was $271.
This has happened because the restrictions have been increased by the government after a surge in COVID-19 cases. While cinemas are still open, the social distancing rules have been made stricter. The seating capacity of the country’s leading exhibitor CJ-CGV has been reduced from 70% to 50%. Due to which the properties had to refund the money of a large number of audience.
