Exhibitors were looking forward to the theatrical release of Christopher Nolan's Tenet on September 18 to bounce back into business. However, their hopes were dashed on Saturday as the government announced that cinemas will continue to remain shut till September 30 as part of the Unlock 4.0 guidelines.

Several exhibitors and distributors started the online petition #SupportMovieTheatres on Sunday, urging the government to reconsider the decision.
