Culture news Christopher Nolan hit the jackpot with Oppenheimer. The sum reaches 9 figures… it’s phenomenal for a director!
Oppenheimer’s critical and commercial success paid off big time for Christopher Nolan. A huge jackpot which could further swell with the theatrical release of the film.
Nolan, the consecration
Finally the consecration for Christopher Nolan. The filmmaker, despite a career littered with both critical and commercial success, had never previously received an Oscar. With Oppenheimer, the filmmaker finally puts an end to this curse by receiving two statuettes – as director and as producer. The film was also the star of the last Oscar ceremony when it received seven awards for eleven nominations. But beyond these prices, let us remember that Oppenheimer is also a huge commercial success. The feature film broke Box Office records by collecting nearly $958 million. Figures which will swell further as the film is due to be released in nearly 1000 theaters in the United States. A financial success from which Christopher Nolan greatly benefits.

The man who was worth 100 million
According to Variety, Christopher Nolan would have pocketed a huge jackpot of almost 100 million dollars for Oppenheimer. Absolutely staggering figures, especially for a director. Only James Cameron could claim better today when he would have received an equivalent amount for Avatar 2. And it’s even more impressive when we know that Oppenheimer’s budget is itself estimated at 100 million dollars. The total of this amount would in fact be a combination of the different salaries Nolan who is here director, producer and screenwriter, as well as the bonuses unlocked after the success of the film at the Oscars. And the premium could increase further if the feature film crosses the billion dollar mark at the Box Office after its upcoming release. At the top of Hollywood, Christopher Nolan therefore reigns as undisputed master.
