Foreign media Variety reported that Nolan’s new film“Oppenheimer”I am afraid it will be the last movie of this genre. The film’s background is set during World War II, and the story revolves around “Father of the Atomic Bomb” Robert Oppenheimer, starring Kylian Murphy, Emily Blunt, Matt Damon, and Robert Downey Jr., It will be released in North America on July 21, 2023.


According to reports, the “Oppenheimer” movie supported by Universal Pictures will be released in 2023, and it needs to “overcome all difficulties” to achieve commercial success. In addition to the $100 million production budget, the film also needs to spend another $100 million for global promotion. In addition, Nolan’s contract guarantees that he can get a certain percentage of the box office share, so this movie will cost 50-60 million US dollars more than a similar-scale movie to make a profit. Therefore, foreign media predict that Oppenheimer’s global box office will reach at least $400 million in order to be profitable.

Variety pointed out that few traditional studios invest 9 figures in a movie that is not based on popular toys, novels or comics. Even before the epidemic subverted the film landscape, the most attractive audiences were still superheroes and science fiction films, and nothing else. This reality makes it difficult for Hollywood to give the green light to large investment films that are not based on existing IP. And this kind of film is more risky, not only in cost recovery, but also in profits, sequels and derivatives. After all, no matter how much the audience likes Nolan’s movies, it is impossible to print Oppenheimer’s face on a T-shirt or lunch box.

However, foreign media also pointed out that Nolan’s film box office has not been a problem in the past ten years, the only exception is “Creed.” The movie was released during the epidemic, and the global box office still won 363 million U.S. dollars. However, the production cost of “Creed” exceeded 200 million US dollars, so it is actually difficult to make a profit for this film. In contrast, Nolan’s other films are very eye-catching:

2010 “Inception”: Global box office of 836 million US dollars

2014 “Interstellar”: global box office of 701 million US dollars

2017 “Dunkirk”: Global box office of 526 million US dollars

Those who pay close attention to the film industry point out that “Oppenheimer” will not be a thrilling suspense film like “Inception” or “Shard of Memories” expected by audiences. On the contrary, this is a historical drama based on facts and physics. “Dunkirk” tells the heroic deeds of the British army at the beginning of World War II, while “Oppenheimer” tells a darker story, a story that exists on the dark side of morality in the past. It is not only very controversial, but also very controversial. American. This may limit the interest of overseas audiences, and Nolan’s film revenue often comes mainly from overseas.
