The Plot’s Confusion Among The Actors
There was some confusion among actors as they couldn't crack the plot well. John David Washington, who played the main character in the movie, admitted that he always had questions for Christopher while shooting the film. Robert Pattinson, too, had a hard time understanding the plot, which left him disoriented. Even after spending months reading through his lines and working on the set, he could not determine what was going on in the film reported by Cheat Sheet. Dimple Kapadia, an Indian actress who played the role of a spy agent in the movie, also reported that she would have to watch the film at least three more times before she could understand anything.
The Budget And Box Office Numbers
Screenrant reports that the production budget of Tenet is around $200-225 million. It is one of the most expensive films in Nolan's career. The budget on Tenet is higher than that of Christopher’s previous films like The Dark Knight($185 million), Inception($160 million), and Interstellar($165 million). It is more like The Dark Knight Rises, which had a budget of around $250 million. Going by the general rule, Tenet would have to make at least $400 million to recoup the cost of production.
Reports suggest that the film needs to earn $800 million to profit. The film was originally scheduled to premiere in July but got delayed due to the COVID-19 Pandemic.

Current Net Worth Of The Cast
Observer says that Christopher Nolan stands to make a ton of money if Tenet breaks out as the blockbuster Warner Bros hopes it can be. Nolan is expected to receive 20 percent of movie's gross. This means that Nolan will get a percentage of the box office revenue beginning with the film's release rather than when the movie returns a profit. Nolan has made such deals with WB, but it is still a privilege reserved for a few filmmakers.
The net worth of different actors and crew is a factor in determining the cost of production. Christopher Nolan has a net worth of $180 million. At present, the lead actors John David Washington, Pattinson, and Elizabeth boast a net worth of $8 million, $100 million, $1.9 million, respectively. The supporting cast includes Dimple Kapadia, Michael Caine, and Kenneth Branagh, who have a net worth of $10 million, $80 million, and $60 million, respectively.
Overall, Tenet is a big-budget movie by Christopher Nolan with Warner Bros Production. It is one of Nolan's most expensive films and expects to make at least $400 million at the box office. Nolan stands to gain a massive amount of money if the film becomes a blockbuster, as WB hopes it would be.
