Christopher Nolan's anticipated film "Tenet" has officially arrived in U.S. theaters, and has brought in $20.2 million over Labor Day weekend, Variety reports.
The thriller is also approaching $150 million worldwide, with a stronger showing at international box offices. Tenet earned about $78.3 million this weekend overseas.
Warner Bros. said that the studio is "very pleased" with the initial results, and the rollout of the film is "a marathon not a sprint."
"There is literally no context in which to compare the results of a film opening during a pandemic with any other circumstance," the studio said. "We are in unprecedented territory, so any comparisons to the pre-COVID world would be inequitable and baseless."
