1905 Film Network NewsDirector Christopher Nolan’s new film focusing on Oppenheimer, the father of the atomic bomb in World War II, attracted much attention once it was officially announced. Nolan will no longer cooperate with Warner, his nearly 20-year-old partner, and instead will be taken over by Universal Pictures for capital injection and distribution, but this has also cost Universal a lot of “price.”

According to the “Hollywood Report”, Nolan put forward very severe conditions for this new film, and only Universal is willing to nod and accept it. Nolan requested that this new film cost 100 million U.S. dollars to produce, plus a 100 million U.S. dollars publicity budget. For Nolan, who has always been an eye-catching box office performance, this production cost is actually not high, the same level as “Dunkirk”.

But the problem is that Nolan also asked for 100% control over the creation, 20% of the total box office dividend, and three weeks before and after the release of the film, the film crew can no longer release other movies. He also requires that the film can only appear on the streaming media platform at least 100 days after its release, which is much longer than the 45 sky window period currently commonly used in the industry.

Three weeks before and after the release of the film, no other films can be released, which can guarantee that the film will not compete with the films of the same company, and it can also allow the propaganda department of the film party to concentrate on the release of the film. However, only one new film can be released in a period of one and a half months, which is undoubtedly a big problem for leading Hollywood studios.

Although Nolan, the box office leader, had enjoyed many of the advantages as early as the Warner era, the studios competing for this new film couldn’t help but back down after listening to his “offer price.” Both Paramount and Apple were out early. Only Universal and Sony persisted until the last minute, and Universal, which was fully accepted, won Nolan’s favor.

As far as a WWII movie is concerned, Nolan’s new film focused on Oppenheimer may not be able to win back an amazing box office of one billion dollars. But from Universal’s point of view, this is an excellent opportunity to have a good relationship with Nolan, so that he will continue to shoot new films here in the future, focusing on the endless business opportunities in the future, not the immediate interests. No wonder they Willing to accept Nolan’s terms in full.
