“ It’s been seen by some influencers on X who’ve totally trashed it.”
No. That’s not correct. They’ve seen only the trailer
Nolan has zero reason to block anything. It has not yet been released.
In any case it comes out next week. Many theaters are sold out. Those people will review it and he’ll either tank, come out even or he’ll make 1.5 billion
Oppenheimer made $950 million
This should be near that at least but he’ll make the $250 mil. At least
Nope.
Universal skipped dedicated influencer/word-of-mouth screenings for the film. Instead of holding special early screenings aimed at social media influencers (a common practice to generate buzz), they went straight to general press/critic screenings after the world premiere in London (July 6, 2026).
The stated reason was confidence in the film (a “show of strength”) and a focus on professional critics rather than pre-selected fan/influencer voices.
Influencers attending press junkets still got to see the film early alongside journalists. It wasn't a total exclusion.
“Oppenheimer made $950 million”
Oppenheimer was not woke.
And they didn’t put a pitch black guy to play Oppenheimer.
Nor did they have women playing as men.
“come out even or he’ll make 1.5 billion”
$.5 Billion huh?
Dream on!
Guaranteed that’s not gonna happen.
