re: Will Tenet break Nolan’s fanfare mystique?

If it fails it will be because of Covid. Not fanfare. Interstellar made a lot of money. So did Dunkirk. Both made over $500MM and neither are superhero movies. And interstellar is a pretty heady movie.

I think the damning thing here will be marketing as well though.
Insterstellar and Inception both did awesome jobs of marketing/showcasing the concept in a way to draw people in. This one feels more generic on the outside than those.
With the COVID-19 situation, that additional handicap can be brutal.
With a break even in the half billion range, and 20% of gross going to Nolan, it’s going to be hard not to lose ooodles of money. Studios are horrifically risk averse. The fact it was caused by COVID-19 won’t really carry much weight: they will be reluctant to sign off on original projects budgeted for more than 120 or so.

Hard to say w/certainty but every film that fails at the box office in the next 6-12 months is going to have that as the excuse.
