But apparently I’m the only one who thinks the film is in danger of significantly underperforming even if it’s good.


Of course not, but that’s not how you framed the question at all. And I think its pretty safe to say that EVERY film is currently in danger of underperforming relative the standards of a pre-Covid world. Nothing to do with Nolan.


Regarding the lack marketing of this film, nothing is being heavily marketed right now. The main reason is nobody knows when anything is actually getting released. All release dates are tentative, whether stated or not. I’m sure this new Tom Hanks movie Greyhound was not meant for an Apple+ release, but I just saw its 30 second trailer for just the 3rd time, and it comes out in 6 days.

Fair enough.

But what I’m driving at is that this film sits at a confluence of a lot of factors which can leave studios sitting bitter.

20% of first dollar gross isn’t unheard of, but it’s an outlier reserved for the elite that is a massive handicap in the current environment.

At end end of the day, the fact that they are still gunning for being the first release in 4-6 months means there is a significant risk of investors losing a combined 100s of millions of dollars.

That’s bound to leave a lot of people salty.
