Seems pretty petty, no? The films have different target audiences, and even if they didn’t, does the free market not also apply to Hollywood?
There are plenty of things you’re allowed to do that are still kinda shitty. Nolan feels like WB is lashing out at him for bailing on them after they bailed on Tenet. He thinks they’re trying to eat his receipts, and he’s probably right. Nolan burned a lot of bridges on his way out of WB.
after they bailed on Tenet.
Wise decision. That was a mess of a movie. And no, it’s clear I don’t worship at the altar of Nolan.
I mean that they went digital early, whereas Nolan wanted a longer theatrical run (during a pandemic). Dude threw a big hissyfit about it, then said he’d never work with WB again.
Plus it was a big yawner. I’ve never been so bored watching an action scene. It was like watching someone rewind a taped episode of DBZ
I love Nolan movies, but he really needs to stop trying to put action scenes in them. He clearly doesn’t know how to film people fighting each other whatsoever.
It does seem stupid to open both movies at the same time. Moviegoers are a shrinking population and the audience for seemingly different movies really does overlap a lot. So why the hell would two of the most hyped movies open at the same time? Both would benefit from spacing their release dates out.
That’s a shame, considering how actors involved in both films are out there supporting each other’s movie. Nolan looks bad by comparison.
I don’t like Nolan more and more as time goes on. The turning point for me was when he blamed everyone but himself when he was criticized for the terrible sound mixing of his movies, the worst being Tenet. And it wasn’t even blaming, because he never admits that it’s bad; just that the audience is wrong, and he’s right with what he’s doing. The only thing pulling me into Oppenheimer is Cillian Murphy.
Respectfully
No shit Nolan

How is Nolan a hack? Lmao he’s one of the most successful and critically acclaimed directors in Hollywood.
Nolan chose to speak his mind about WB releasing other directors’ movies on streaming, insulting the studio in the process. If this is true then he’s just reaping what he sowed.
I’m hardly a fan of Warner Bros management but I’m a big fan of consequences for being an unprofessional dick.
