As COVID-19 cases and death rates dropped in Hong Kong, the government decided to begin reopening theaters on May 8. Films available for viewing in cinemas will cover a mixture of old and new titles, including re-releases of big-screen hits such as Christopher Nolan’s Batman: The Dark Knight Trilogy.
Batman Begins, the first film in the trilogy, will make its appearance on June 4; The Dark Knight will return on June 11; and The Dark Knight Rises will be available starting June 18. All three films will be available on IMAX screens.
The release of the trilogy is timed to coincide with the debut of Nolan’s new film Tenet, an action film about a man who uses time travel and rebirth to attempt to prevent World War 3, which is due for release in theaters on July 17. Warner Bros. and Nolan have pushed hard to keep the film’s planned summer release on schedule despite the pandemic.
The return of the Dark Knight Trilogy, whose films have together grossed over $1 billion at the box office, will give fans a chance to enjoy the popular films on the big screen again for a limited time. All three films have been re-released in cinemas before, but only for one day. Hopefully, this time they will stick around a little bit longer.
