As noted by Variety, all this drama reportedly stems from how very genuinely mad Nolan got at Warner, which had previously produced every one of his films since Insomnia, over their treatment of his 2020 sci-fi thriller Tenet.

Nolan was upset over how Warner Bros. handled theatrical releases in the midst of the pandemic. The post Warner Bros. tried to lure Christopher Nolan back with an enormous check appeared first on The Manual.

Christopher Nolan left Warner Bros. due to prior issues and chose Universal for his film 'Oppenheimer', valuing creative control and marketing strategy over money. The decision paid off, with the R-rated film grossing approximately $976 million worldwide.
