In writing up box office predictions for the slate of blockbusters set to be released in the next year, Variety included a slot for Tenet, and that’s explainable given the detail included regarding how much money it cost to bring Christopher Nolan’s latest vision to life. Based on past reports, this means that the 2020 release will go down as the director’s second most expensive film, as The Dark Knight Rises was released back in 2012 after a quarter of a billion dollars was spent bringing it to life.
