In terms of Oppenheimer, it's also worth acknowledging that like that is a three hour movie.
Half black and white historical biopic that is largely about meetings.
And to your point, it made $960 million.
He has an incredible pull and he's got an incredible hold on audiences, which I find fascinating.

And the thing that Nolan's pointed out is that the infrastructure that allowed him to ascend in the way that he did no longer exists.

If we go back to his early films, he makes Memento, which is a low-budget indie starring Guy Pearce, Carrie Ann Moss, Joe Pantoliano.
Fantastic film.
