It's more confusing on how he's still getting work, with 2049 bombing and Dune barely being profitable.

eh, looks like those two movies still made investors money

How does someone make Prisoners and then a load of utter garbage, fluke?

because he's a talented director

2049 made no money at all, it lost money.
Dune made a bit of money.
But you fail to understand, these $150+ million movies aren't supposed to barely make money, investors expect big returns, otherwise it wasn't a good investment.

Because he gets good reviews.

>2049 lost money
that's not what picrel from wikipedia says

by doing the same he did when he made Prisoners.

Prisoners is over hyped, it stole the ending from Spoorlos

He's based.

probably Canadian public funding.

Yes it does. You need to make at least twice your budget to break even. Minimum. Sometimes you need to make more than twice the budget, but 2049 didn't have a huge marketing push, so it's safe to assume only twice the budget.

lot of low budget shit may only get released to 5 theaters and they money in the secondary market

holy fuck, except for indencdies and blade runner every movie on there is trash

2049 was an absolute flop but they still allowed him to direct DUNC. He must have some connections because not only he's a hack, his remakes and sequels are garbage compared to the originals

Because he’s Canadian

Why is there no budget listed for enemy?

wtf i didnt know denis is so based?

Polytechnique is a good film, but you probably dont understanding any other than box office numbers.

Blade Runner 2049
>Budget: $150–185 million[6][7][8]
>Box office: $259.3 million[9]
It was objectively a flop. It's unironically thanks to Any Forums that people still meme about it
