lol at some of the mongoloids in this thread naming directors with 3/4 films :what:

And naming the like's of Spielberg? He's had at least half a dozen critical flops

Think before hitting that reply button.

:snoop: spider-man 3 was a COMMERCIAL SUCCESS.. u are confusing it with being a CRITICAL FAILURE. that movie MADE $$$

the prestige DOUBLED its earnings from the budget that it had... it was no in no way a FLOP.

The Illusionist MORE THAN DOUBLED its budget, still not commercially successful. Commercial success involves more than making a profit at the box office. If your movie costs 25M to make and makes 30M at the box office, that's considered a failure or flop.

The Prestige had Nolan, Bale, Caine still off of that Batman Begins high, and Hugh Jackman who was Wolverine. The were expecting it to rake in more money than it did. Regardless of budget, $50M is hardly anything at the box office.

"Commercial success. "The Illusionist" made $39.8 million, "The Prestige" made $53 million, so neither was any kind of real huge box office success."

Yeah, but the Prestige is no way considered a flop or a failure, critically or financially. I think that's the bottom line and plays in to TS' mancrush on Nolan.

following was his home-made (literally) film that he only spend $6,000. but on some straight out-the-trunk type sh1t, it profited 8 times over...

insomnia was his 1st MAINSTREAM debut under WB... and his 1st film that earned over 100 million in the box office.. it's was the success of that film that got WB wanting him reboot the batman franchise.


and i brad bird has a flawless record too...
