US filmgoers may be among the last to see director Christopher Nolan's eagerly awaited thriller Tenet.
The film will be released internationally in August, but will skip the US because of the pandemic.
Warner Bros is preparing to release Nolan’s latest on Wednesday, August 26, in 70 countries, including Canada, France, Japan, South Korea, Australia and the UK.
The film will then hit cinemas in the UAE and the rest of the Middle East on Thursday, August 27.
Tenet will have its US debut on Thursday, September 3. There are no plans for it to be released in China.
The film’s release has been delayed three times already because of the pandemic. It was originally to reach screens on July 17 but this was pushed back to July 31 and then August 12.
An action epic with a time-travel twist, Tenet tells the story of an international spy trying to prevent another world war from breaking out.
The film stars John David Washington, Robert Pattinson, Elizabeth Debicki, Michael Caine and Kenneth Branagh.
Warner Bros chairman Toby Emmerich last week called it a “wholly original and mind-blowing feature”.
“Our goals throughout this process have been to ensure the highest odds of success for our films, while also being ready to support our theatre partners with new content as soon as they could safely reopen,” he said.
Emmerich also said the film would not have a traditional “global day-and-date release, and our upcoming marketing and distribution plans will reflect that”.

How has net migration to UK changed?
The figure was broadly flat immediately before the Covid-19 pandemic, standing at 216,000 in the year to June 2018 and 224,000 in the year to June 2019.
It then dropped to an estimated 111,000 in the year to June 2020 when restrictions introduced during the pandemic limited travel and movement.
The total rose to 254,000 in the year to June 2021, followed by steep jumps to 634,000 in the year to June 2022 and 906,000 in the year to June 2023.
The latest available figure of 728,000 for the 12 months to June 2024 suggests levels are starting to decrease.

Juvenile arthritis
Along with doctors, families and teachers can help pick up cases of arthritis in children.
Most types of childhood arthritis are known as juvenile idiopathic arthritis. JIA causes pain and inflammation in one or more joints for at least six weeks.
Dr Betina Rogalski said "The younger the child the more difficult it into pick up the symptoms. If the child is small, it may just be a bit grumpy or pull its leg a way or not feel like walking,” she said.
According to The National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases in US, the most common symptoms of juvenile arthritis are joint swelling, pain, and stiffness that doesn’t go away. Usually it affects the knees, hands, and feet, and it’s worse in the morning or after a nap.
Limping in the morning because of a stiff knee, excessive clumsiness, having a high fever and skin rash are other symptoms. Children may also have swelling in lymph nodes in the neck and other parts of the body.
Arthritis in children can cause eye inflammation and growth problems and can cause bones and joints to grow unevenly.
In the UK, about 15,000 children and young people are affected by arthritis.
