Oppenheimer | 2024 Academy Award Winner for Best Picture and Best Director

who knows, the 100m number was reported a long time ago and may not be accurate, i mean apparently doctor strange 2 cost over 300m and avatar 2 was reported as 250m until very close to release when 350-400 was being reported

[Bobzaruni]

he probably said 180 for the dramatic effect

"180M, 180 minutes"

Who knows what he's including and what he's not whether its with tax credits, with marketing, just production, etc

Really? That's the two movies you're comparing this to? Two INCREDIBLY VFX-intensive movies that were also impacted by COVID (with one of them having a veeeeeery long production even beyond COVID issues). Even his most effects-heavy movies aren't close to the budgets you mentioned. Obviously I get you're saying that budgets can increase, but there were clear reasons behind the 300 million price tags of some recent movies, and Nolan is famous for how tight he is on budgets and time.

Exactly. But hey, it's the Internet...

What's wrong?.even if RDS took 10 m less than i thought  seems a really expensive movie. It's 3 hours long and every expect seems excellent. Quality has a cost. 

 

I don't know why here and for Barbie people Simply doesn't see the excellence in every technical side of these movies. Seems likw if movies doesn't have cgi and third act Battles you don't need money to make them. 

It's still a dramatic biopic where the major stars took paycuts and filmed in only a handful of locations in the US, as opposed to globetrotting or incredibly complex stuntwork in major urban centres etc. I think you've got a skewed perspective if you think quality requires a huge budget. You absolutely can have a gorgeous movie for a moderate budget.

according to new york times, barbie has a 145m budget while its been constantly reported as 100m, nolan has no reason to lie about the 180m number

she doesn't have a weird hate boner against this movie so we probably don't need to worry about that

Thius,

I see no reason for doubting the 100 Million dollar figure.

Yes, it is a period film, but then the 1940's cost a lot less money to do then, say a film set during the Civil War would.

[Niceguy]

I am hoping Alfonso Cuaron gives his take on the movie.

The footage looks damn good. It's pretty mindblowing to think about the testing aspect. They really didn't know what they were getting into, but they moved forward with it. Pretty courageous by everyone in Los Alamos.

Why are you worried about spoilers for a historical film. 

For once we agree.

In the thread about the 2019 Midway movie, here, somebody got angry at people for spoiling the film because we discuseed how the Japanese lost the battle and it was the truning point for the Pacific war.

I swear,people probably bitched in pre release discussions of Speilberg;s "Lincoln" becuase that Lincoln was assianated was mentioned....

Nolan is notorious for delivering movies on time and on budget. He probably is including marketing.

Which is a major reason why studios love him so much.

London Premier screening started 7:30/8ish pm here in the uk, so the film just finished 20-30 minutes ago, so hopefully some more snippets from people in attendance.

Somehow was even more impressed by #Oppenheimer on a second watch - and I already thought it was a masterpiece!

Nolan has crafted such a beautifully rich movie, it’s one I will be returning to often, always discovering something new https://t.co/dFi0dB0E3y

When some rag reports a movies budget is higher it gets eaten up as fact but this movies budget comes straight from the directors mouth and the internet is doing gymnastics trying to come up with ways it's actually lower lol.

Some reactions are starting to pop up on Letterboxd. Curiously some mid reviews
