After Dark Knight, Dark Knight Rises, and Inception, I think it's fair to say Nolan's name is now associated with big event type movies. What if the The Prestige was made now, with Nolan credit the way it is. I have to think it would have made more, but how much?

Pure speculation, but certainly more than $100 million. |

Yeah good point it would be much much bigger. I'd say $40/$150m. |

I think it definitely would have done 100 Million. |

It's still a movie about magic... It would've been close to $100 mil though. |

Bigger question, what would have Inception had made in 2006 in October. Maybe 120 million. I just don't see really anything marketing wise any year that makes the Prestige open higher than 25 million. |

On paper nobody would have thought a movie like Black Swan would either. |

Sure The Prestige would make more dough due to the Cult of the Nolanites, but it could still never hope to be half the movie that The Illusionist was. |

One element of The Prestige which seems to frustrate a lot of people and may have been an even larger concern if the film were a huge, huge hit: the fact it's set up as a film which, no matter how complex or twisty it becomes, will remain defined by sleight-of-hand and realistic misdirection, but then it resolves itself by introducing an over-the-top, unrealistic element of fantasy/science fiction. |

I think Spielberg and M Night have been much better publicized. I'm guessing a bit more. I think Inception grossed on its own strength. Prestige was a different game in terms of marketability. |

The illusionist was garbage in every measurable facet, a poor man's, watered-down Prestige-lite... for dummies. |

It doesn't matter when it was made because you can still tell the twist within the first 5 minutes. What The Prestige needs is to be better made! |

The concept would still be a tough sell, but Nolan and Bale are much bigger now. 40/150 ball park seems logical. zingy wrote: 208/620  That killed me.
