Warner Bros co-chiefs Mike De Luca and Pam Abdy weren’t allowed to read the script for Christopher Nolan’s next movie.
Only Universal’s Donna Langley was given the honor of going through the pages. It turns out, Christopher Nolan didn’t even consider Warner Bros.

2 years ago today, Universal landed the rights to Christopher Nolan’s OPPENHEIMER.
His demands:

• $100M marketing
• 90-120 day theatrical window
• 3-week blackout period before and after release
• Final cut
• 20% first-dollar gross
Result: $900M+ box office
