I guess in the near future the movies will be full of real B737 MAX crashes too

The 747 for Tenet didn't have to be working as it (without giving away too much) never actually flies in the movie, all they needed was the fuselage and that it look like a 747. They don't mention how much it cost to buy, but some suggest it may have been as little as $100K. I'm sure getting it to wherever they wanted to crash it would have not been cheap either.

I am seeing in the news this week that Harkins Theaters wants to reopen in my region with 50% seating, and AMC across the country. Some colleges and universities are also reopening, and it is not going well. Kids........
They are eager to get on with the theater release of a new movie called Tenet, some sort of thriller.
Interestingly, while preparing to film Tenet, they determined for one scene that it was less expensive to buy an actual 747 airliner and crash it (slowly) into an actual building, rather than do it in computer effects. |
That's good to hear. It would be a real shame if movie theaters die out completely. They had a lot of work to do to stay relevant even before the virus though.
They seemed to have lost sight of the need to provide an experience that people couldn't get at home. Simply having a big screen isn't enough anymore as it's so cheap to have that at home these days. They made the 2.35:1 format to compete with the 4:3 TVs people were getting at home back in the day. They need a new "only in theaters" gimmick.
I'm thinking 360 degree dome screens with multi sense experiences (smells, moving seats, in-seat percussion etc).
