Rank 7: Christopher Nolan
- Worldwide box office revenue: 5.145 billion €
- Number of films: 12
- Most successful film: The Dark Knight Rises (948 million €)
For many film fans, Christopher Nolan is somewhat like a messiah. Almost none of his films disappointed the Nolan purists, and he also shows in his works that he can tell the most diverse stories. Apart from his early works like Following, Memento and Insomnia, it was mostly large-scale blockbusters that emphasized spectacle.
Additionally, there are often convoluted narratives that use the motif of time in various ways. In Interstellar, time passes differently in space than on Earth, and in Inception, the clocks tick differently according to the dream level. Next year, we can expect a film adaptation of the Odyssey from Nolan, which should further increase his box office revenue.
