According to The Hollywood Reporter, Christopher Nolan will be getting paid $20 million up-front for Dunkirk, which represents a small fortune on its own.
His latest movie Dunkirk, a World War II epic due out next summer, has officially made him the highest paid director in Hollywood.
It is no surprise that Christopher Nolan is getting paid well for his work as his last several movies have absolutely crushed at the box office, most of which have also enjoyed quite a bit of critical acclaim.
In this case, Christopher Nolan is getting a sizable chunk up front and a pretty hefty amount of back end.
