@anishmoonka I mean RDJ was on the screen for about 3 minutes so $4M for Oppenheimer seems appropriate

Tom Holland says The Odyssey has “the best script I’ve ever read.” I looked into what actors actually give up to be in a Nolan film. Robert Downey Jr.’s last Marvel paycheck was $75 million. For Oppenheimer, he took $4 million. A 95% pay cut. Matt Damon and Emily Blunt took the same $4 million each, when they normally charge between $10 and $20 million. Variety reported they did it “for the privilege of working with Nolan.” Holland’s Odyssey salary hasn’t been disclosed. But the precedent is well documented. On Oppenheimer, every major name in the cast accepted well below their market rate. Nolan films run on this trade: lower upfront pay for the chance to be in a movie that wins Oscars and crosses a billion dollars. While these actors take discounts, Nolan has the richest director deal in Hollywood. He gets a percentage of every ticket sold from the very first one, not after the studio breaks even. On Oppenheimer, a movie that cost $100 million to make and brought in $976 million, Nolan personally walked away with close to $100 million. Roughly the same as the entire budget. Only Spielberg, Cameron, and Peter Jackson have ever gotten deals like that. The Odyssey is that whole machine turned up. $250 million budget, his most expensive movie ever, and the first one ever shot 100% on IMAX film cameras. They burned through 2 million feet of film in 91 days using custom cameras that IMAX built specifically for Nolan. Last July, IMAX put opening weekend tickets on sale a full year before the movie comes out. 95% sold in under an hour from just 26 theaters worldwide. Tickets that cost $25 were reselling on eBay that night for $300 to $500. Nolan locked up every IMAX screen on the planet from July 17 to August 14, a full month where no other movie gets shown. Oppenheimer made $190 million from IMAX screens alone. The Odyssey trailer pulled 121 million views in 24 hours. Nolan’s career total is above $6 billion, with his average film returning more than 4x its budget. When Holland calls this the best script he has ever read, I believe him. But Nolan built a system where the biggest names in the industry will work for less just to say they were part of it.

@KalshiSports Why would you trust that amount of money with Kalshi who can claim what is or isn't a "win" with zero regulation? Especially when you cam make more money than that off interest with zero risk?

WILD: One Kalshi trader just put $65,117 on the Philadelphia 76ers to NOT win the NBA Finals. If they’re correct, it would pay out $65,775 for a profit of $658.

@Mappy6984 My thoughts are accounts who post these fake photos are annoying af

@LordCharizard33 You must have a lot of these

There’s absolutely no reason at all on the planet earth that arguably the greatest full art trainer is only $57. Should easily be a $200 card. 🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀

@Polymarket The irony is once they crack the code on a large scale, the asset loses almost all of its value.

@CodifyBaseball This you?

It’s ‘RBI,’ not ‘RBIs.’

@DraftKings Uh.... can I get the odds on more than 2 made the final four in that time?

@LevAkabas @Sportico They have a football team?

UConn is the only FBS public school in @Sportico's database that spends more money on basketball than football And it sent both its men's and women's basketball teams to the Final Four this year

@JBRBracketology Crazy that the top 3 seeds in each region were contenders 🤯

739 bookmarks and we went 4/4. Phew 😅 7/8 Elite 8 teams were also featured on the graphic below. Only close call was Iowa. Who saw that coming? Heck of a run for Ben McCollum and the Iowa Hawkeyes that ultimately fell just short. None of the 4 seeds, all missing from the graphic below, made the Elite 8.

@CSURamT You are either A) lying Or B) dumbest person on this app

Did my taxes this weekend. Nothing like being middle class w/ 2 dependents, own a home, max out 401K, HSA & FSA contributions, and don't claim any deductions in my paycheck, but still owe $6K... The new Trump tax plan seems to cost me more every year.

@TheMagaHulk Also called dudes on the street "que*r ass n*****"

Anthony Edwards, one of the young superstars in the NBA, paid off one woman to get an abortion and encouraged another to do so as well. In December 2023, Instagram model Paige Jordae posted screenshots of text messages from Edwards. They showed a positive pregnancy test and responses like "hell nawl can't do dis" and "Get an abortion lol." She also shared evidence of a $100,000 wire transfer, claiming it was payment related to the abortion. He also encouraged Ayesha Howard to "Get da abortion lol". However, she kept the child and sued him for child support. The NBA celebrates and encourages Edwards' behavior.

@MuseHoosier Get this purdue in disguise troll outta here

Two athletes sharing their views with their audience. Both waived due to the controversy created. If you are enraged over one and empathetic towards the other, you may need to look in a mirror. #truthnuke

@LegionHoops "He shoved him though, but still" lmaooo

Refs take away SGA’s game winning three. Unreal.

@iam_johnw Do you think hes ever actually taken a test after 8th grade? Like...does he just transfer when test time comes?

Dior Johnson has attended 13 colleges and high schools lmao

@FlockMastaMon Yet, here you are on Twitter posting about how Twitter sucks...

Facebook proves itself yet again, I posted $8000~ worth of sealed last night and sold it all within 3 hours for roughly asking price to a single buyer + made a great long term connection Twitter gets me crypto losers offering 60% of market thinking they’re doing me a favor 😂

@BSO Exactly! Just shows people have no morals/ethics as long as it makes people $$

@mrpack49 It's cause he is Anthony Edwards

I can not stress this enough to people with something to lose. Freedom of Speech does not mean Freedom from Consequences. Tread wisely.
