>Nolan is getting 15% off the top (gross, not net) and his wife another 5% from the Odyssey, basically risk free, after his 20 million up front. Counting high actor salaries and production costs the movie would need to make 800million - 1 billion before it could even hypothetically start to turn a profit for investors. Every man has his price for making cinematic goyslop.
The point of Hollywood is not, and has never been, to turn a profit. The point of Hollywood is to write history as they see fit. The human brain was not designed to consume photorealistic fiction stories.
