At an official runtime of 149 minutes and 59 seconds, Tenet is shorter than Christopher Nolan’s 2014 sci-fi thriller Interstellar, which clocked in at 169 minutes.
According to reports, while theaters will reopen in China from July 20, the government wants to limit the amount of time audiences spend in auditoriums.
