they probably pulled a 'our theatrical window deal we have wont apply to you' pitch. why else would he be okay with universal and not warners (who gave everything he asked for with tenet).

m night probably has the same deal. old is still not a vod yet and its been over 50 days since release.

Is he mad because his terrible movie, Tenet, was a flop?

[melancolour]

wasn't it not a flop, but just the first of the pandemic releases & therefor under scrutiny?

(content wise I agree, flop)

[nermal_kat]

It's a bona fide official flop, & will lose at least $50 million for Warner Bros.

[sarahvma]

It was a flop, in part, because he stubbornly refused to let them do a simultaneous release when every other major production was doing the same. Then I guess he blamed the studio somehow.

I liked Tenet but I didn’t understand it.

[genbu_no_miko24]

I’m convinced he realized he made a very confusing movie and marketed as such to avoid harsher criticism.

[melancolour]

I watched it with subtitles. Somebody told me the audio in some scenes was intentially configured to be hard to understand, because the dialogue "wasn't what was important". Just.... no. So much no.

I haven't really liked anything he's done since Interstellar (which, to be fair, is one of my top movie watching experiences of all time - A+, love that movie).

[squirrels_oh_no]

That's what he did for Interstellar which was bullshit. The music was louder than the dialogue half the time. Intentional or not, it was not a good idea and should never have been nominated for Oscars for sound mixing/editing.

he really threw a bitch fit and said he was leaving with all his toys cause they wouldn't have a normal theatrical release of his shitty movie in the middle of a global pandemic
