Over the last few weeks, various movie exhibitors — Alamo Drafthouse, Landmark Theatres, Angelika Film Centers and more — have opened their doors to socially-responsible indoor filmgoing.

A few weeks ago, Unhinged became perhaps the first major film to debut only in theaters. But the release Thursday of Tenet — Christopher Nolan’s much-anticipated latest existential sci-fi mindscrew, pictured — will open in cineplexes.
