Five drive-ins in the Los Angeles-area are already scheduled to show this film beginning this weekend. The Mission Tiki Drive-in in Montclair, California, and the Paramount Drive-in have set screening times of the film starting on Friday, according to their respective websites.
Tenet debuted overseas in late August. Early screenings of the film were shown in the U.S. on Aug. 31 and opened across theaters in the country on Labor Day weekend.
