Even though all of his movies have come to be praised by critics and movie audiences alike, director Christopher Nolan is no stranger to being presented with a larger-than-life budget for his films. Oppenheimer was surprisingly conservative in the cost department (coming in at only 100 million dollars), and 2020's Tenet – which starred actor John David Washington – cost over 205 million dollars. This had to do with the fact that production took place in seven countries and Nolan’s expensive niche of using in-camera effects for a better visual.
