The movie will fail spectacularly.

Perhaps the biggest bust in Hollywood history.

It cost $250 million to produce.

It will be lucky to get $100 million in sales.

It’ll be a glorious, spectacular failure. You’d think shareholders would get tired of losing vast fortunaes in woke bomb movies. I guess not

It’ll get $250 mil very quickly.

It’s Chris Nolan. He has a gigantic following, he’s a great director. This is a great story.

I’ll go see it. It’s the Odyssey . What do I care if Helen of Troy is black?

Or even $50 million.

I was not that impressed with Nolan’s “Oppenheimer”.
The entire AEC chairman vs Oppenheimer was a distraction from what would could have been a great historical movie.
When the bill comes for this mess, Nolan is going to be done.

Nolan only cares about being eligible for a Best Picture Oscar. Everything else is secondary.

“ It cost $250 million to produce.”

With a marketing budget of 100 million (not unusual for this type of big budget movie) it would take 700 million in sales just to break even.
