Comment on Just as Nolan intended

• Skullgrid@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

  Following a negotiation between Nolan and Warner Bros. executives, the studio arranged for the film to be released in seventy countries, with a run time of 150 minutes, on August 26,[105][106][107] following preview screenings in Australia and South Korea on August 22 and 23.[108][109] The film opened in select cities in the United States on September 3, gradually expanding in the ensuing weeks.[105] On September 4, it was released in China.[110] The lack of available movies afforded it more screens per multiplex than would otherwise have been possible.[111]

  them dates are before the vaccine became available. He drove a bargin as hard as he could, to get as many people to see the film as he could.

  Yeah, he’s not a politican, but neither was Typhoid Mary.

  Yea, the wealthy have no power, and therefore, no responsibility.

    I mean, fair, but he’s not “head of multiple mega corporations with massive political sway” wealthy, he’s just “very successful film director for many years” wealthy.

    Looking it up, he’s worth $250 million, or about 1/3200 the worth of Elon Musk.

      He still controlled (heavily influenced) how the film was released. That sort of influence in your own industry is control.

      It not only affected the safety of everyone employed own chain (eg. theater workers), or pit public safety at risk. The attitude of “well it was not illegal, so it’s governments fault, not his.” Is part of the problem.

        I still think you’re over blowing the level the issue.
