It took me three weeks to see it because the tickets would go up on Wednesday evening for the next week, then the booking system and/or the payment system would crash due to high demand (Cineplex uses those same systems for both online and in-person bookings). When it came back up, all the seats not in the front rows would be gone.
I actually spent about $100 attempting to buy tickets only to have my purchases cancelled by the system and later refunded.
I did end up getting good seats but I had to sit there refreshing for a few hours and it mostly came down to luck.

Zendaya def has highest grossing movies for 2026 locked up already right?

I guess it depends on if Spiderman ends up in Avengers (hard to see it not) and if Avengers still has the juice.

u/kneeco28 9h ago
Holland might be in Doomsday, yes. Which would give it to him. Even if he's not yet, they might try to squeeze in a post-credits appearance now that BND exploded. Assuming Secret Wars isn't delayed, he'll be on set with the Russos presently, after all.
Assuming Zendaya, Holland, and Bernthal are all absent from Avengers, the highest grossing will be Florence Pugh, with BND, Avengers, and Dune.

Dune isn't making more than Odyssey so Zendaya would be above (she also has The Drama even if much smaller of course). Odyssey is likely finishing 1.3-1.7B. Dune reaching 1B would be kind of the ceiling.
EDIT : wait I forgot she's in Avengers. So basically it's Avengers for her VS Odyssey for Zendaya (Dune and BND are a tie). In that case, Pugh wins. Unless Zendaya appears in Doomsday

JDW is the protagonist of the first watch-through, Pattinson is the protagonist of the second.
Related note, I love the way the script directly tells the audience how to watch the movie. First with Juliette Binoche being like “don’t try to think about it, just feel it” and then with Pattinson at the end being like “the story’s only halfway done” before going back to do the whole thing from the top. People who think the movie is mid just didn’t heed that advice, and I pity them because Tenet fuckin rips

I feel like a lot of top top directors repeat actors.
Tarantino, Scorsese, Nolan, Anderson, all of them generally start to have anchor actors they like and trust with roles.
I'm sure those kind of actors generally become friends, because they are spending a few years in super close proximity for 16 hours a day.
Oppenheimer similar had Murphy (6th Nolan film), Gary Oldman (4th), Kenneth Branagh (3rd), Jack Cutmore Scott (3rd) and only didn't have Michael Caine (would have been I think 9th film) because he turned it down.

I saw an interview with Matt Damon, where he discussed kind of a rule he has about taking some specified amount of time off to spend with his wife and daughters and many pets after a big shoot. The one exception is if Christopher Nolan calls (and his wife agrees with that exception).
Same interview he said Nolan told him this would be a hard, HARD film shoot, which he shrugged off. Later he said it was by far the hardest film he had ever worked on. He has made about 70 films, including all the Bourne films, Private Ryan, Courage Under Fire, etc.

People keep talking about Twilight as if it was a mistake for Pattison. It's not. It made him famous. The movies made bank and he was the lead.
It opened doors for him and he knows he's got the acting chops for more diverse roles. Twilight absolutely helped him get where he is today. If he had refused, script reading or not, Pattison would be just another talented unknown.

he was a young up and coming actor who became known as a highlight in a Harry Potter movie upon his debut. Striking while the iron was hot was a very smart and lucky move, it put his name on the map

u/RegulatoryCapture 7h ago edited 7h ago
I think you'd even be able to argue that Twilight was the best case scenario for someone like him.
I think his acting chops work better as an older actor, and taking that role bought him years of blockbuster movie credits to transition from Harry Potter actor to adult actor. It avoids the typecast problem somewhat because it literally only one character under a shared title rather than 5 different movies as the brooding love interest.
It also gave him cover to work on a number of smaller projects since he was under contract to a mega franchise. Nobody is going to care that between Twilight filmings, you took roles in a bunch of weirder independent films that got bad reviews but gave you chances to work with a bunch of different actors and directors.
If he wasn't tied to Twilight, his agent would probably have pushed him into similar love interest roles in a bunch different romcom and teen romance drama movies. And there are so many actors who have gotten stuck in that role, the movies have mixed receptions, and once they age out of it, they can't get anyone to cast them in a major role again.
Plus gave him plenty of money that there was room to be picky about projects following twilight so he could let the image cool off a bit and not have to accept some cheesy role where they are just tying to milk his twilight fame.

I think it's a good place to be when people criticize your movies from an extremely high standard. I got roped into film twitter somehow, and everyone there is now onto "He's DEFINITELY not on Kubrick's level" and I think if theres thousands of people arguing about that online, or even having to express it, you're in a good place.
Whether or not his movies are masterpieces, I think one simple thing: check the movie theatre listings near you from time to time and look at how much garbage is being shown all the time. Think about how few movies you actually want to go see in the theatre yearly, and how many fewer still are worth it.
Then tell me Nolan is overrated and bla bla bla... I don't care. He makes damn good movies worth watching, worth paying nearly $40 to watch in Imax, and doing a lot of original screenplays which is also a breath of fresh air.

The interesting thing is he’s clearly a one studio guy, I think he fashions himself as an old school studio man who always works for the same studio, like in the old days when directors (along with actors and a lot of other players, even composers) were generally signed on to work exclusively with one studio for some period. If not for WB doing that stupid day-and-date thing I’m almost positive he would still be over there making all his movies.

Well not in China, but it might have a billion left in it worldwide. I think it’ll end up more like $1.6b
Probably has roundabout $350m of juice left in it in markets where it’s already open. Maybe $100m from Korean and Japan. China is so hard to predict but $150m seems reasonable. Chinese interest in western films has wained overall but Nolan has some chache there. Even Oppenheimer did like $60m in China which surprised me, it’s a movie that’s mostly people sitting in rooms talking and that doesn’t translate super well to Chinese audiences
Anyway, if it does well in Asia and domestic has a long tail, could for sure cross the $2b mark.

That cunt Critikal Drinker had a video released essentially shitting on the movie as if he had already seen it like a week before it even came out. It had a million views within 24 hours too. Fucking pathetic ass basement dwellers, depriving themselves of seeing a fantastic movie too.

His criticisms in that early video were hilarious in retrospect as well.
Like, he was shitting on Elliot Page and Zendaya for being miscast, talking about how he couldn't possibly believe Elliot Page as a big strong soldier, and Zendaya as a goddess.
If only he'd bothered to, I dunno, wait for the fucking movie to come out he'd have realised why they were cast for those roles. It's almost like Nolan's team knew what the fuck they were doing.

Or how the movie was dark and Grey and not bright and colorful like the Mediterranean.
Which makes so much sense after the reveal at the end as he was being punished by the gods the entire journey. Things being dark and cloudy make a lot more sense.

I was told multiple times on Reddit the use of 'american accents' and non authentic 500BC dialog will ruin the movie. What happened to all those comments and posters!?!?

They should have been British accents, as Homer intended

We jest but I loved that Spartacus used Shakespearian style dialogue for its characters. Was it historically accurate? No of course not. Did it work for conveying a sense of 'another place, another time' to the characters and the setting? Absolutely.
That and John Hannah just being really into his role.

Jason Isaacs definitely doesn't natively speak with a Yorkshire accent, that was put on for the movie

I mean I've got some quibbles about some of the acting/direction but there's no denying it's just a spectacle you have to see on the big screen.

It's the greatest film I've ever seen. I don't know if it's the best, but I don't think I've ever had a theatre experience quite like it.

I find it satisfying to watch this movie succeed when so many were desperate to see it fail.
