Christopher Nolan praises Taylor Swift for releasing Eras Tour movie

Perhaps one of the biggest names in film, Christopher Nolan, has praised Taylor Swift for releasing the Eras Tour movie.

Taylor Swift is certainly on top of the world right now thanks to her Eras Tour, to the point where Christopher Nolan has heaped praise on her movie.

Swift's current worldwide tour has been a roaring success, perhaps evident by the amount of money it is bringing in.

It is now being predicted that the tour will make a whopping $4.1 billion, which is in fact the most any artist has made from one tour in history.

Peter Cohan, an associate professor of management at Babson College, made the rather unbelievable estimate recently for The Washington Post, as Eras Tour looks to break many records.

In fact, Swift's earnings from the tour are set to be more than 42 nations' yearly economic output.

An Eras Tour film has also been made, remarkably breaking breaking box office records in its opening weekend.

The new concert film has even made it as far as Nolan, who has praised Swift for bypassing studios to work directly with AMC Theatres to distribute the film.

Speaking at the City University of New York on 11 October, as per The Hollywood Reporter, the Oppenheimer director said: "Taylor Swift is about to show the studios, because her concert film is not being distributed by the studios, it’s being distributed by a theater owner, AMC, and it’s going to make an enormous amount of money.

"And this is the thing, this is a format, this is a way of seeing things and sharing stories, or sharing experiences, that’s incredibly valuable.

"And if they don’t want it, somebody else will. So that’s just the truth of it."

At the university event, Nolan was joined by his wife and producing partner Emma Thomas, where he of course discussed Oppenheimer and his history with film to date.

As per The Hollywood Reporter, Nolan said: "Any time a film succeeds that isn’t expected to succeed, it’s an encouraging thing for Hollywood.… It’s encouraging for filmmakers.

"There’s always the tension in Hollywood between the familiar and what is predicted to make money, and that’s the meat and potatoes of how the studios stay in business, but there’s always this desire [among] audiences for something new, something fresh."

He added: "Any time a film that isn’t expected to succeed, and we vastly exceeded our highest expectations for the project [Oppenheimer], it’s encouraging everyone.

"It’s encouraging for the studios and the filmmakers. That tension, that reality…between commerce and art, that formula never changes in Hollywood, because it’s just a reality of the industrial process. Films are very expensive to make."
