  Speaker 1: Direct from Hollywood with Ryan Seacrest.
• 0:03
  Speaker 2: One new superhero movie that should go unnamed, did not
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: do so well at the past weekend's box office, currently
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: predicted to be a one hundred million dollar loss for
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: the studio behind it, despite being a household franchise name.
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: And Christopher Nolan, who did not direct it, while not
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: speaking directly about the film, does have a theory as
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: to why it went wrong.
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, he.
• 0:22
  Speaker 3: Tells The New York Times, Hollywood is playing it way
• 0:25
  Speaker 3: too safe for its own good, and he says the
• 0:27
  Speaker 3: proof is in its history. He says, look backwards. The

  Speaker 3: pattern is that you have to take risks to succeed.
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: The audience is always looking for something new.

  Speaker 4: Memento as an example, which tells the entire story backwards,
• 0:43
  Speaker 4: which is obviously not the normal way of doing things,

  Speaker 4: and he remembers pitching it to his wife, who was
• 0:49
  Speaker 4: also his producer, and she felt it was pretty.
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: Risky, and his counter argument was faith in his talent
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: to pull it all off, but also having something new
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: mitigates the risk and could distinguish him, which it certainly did.

• 1:05
  Speaker 1: That's direct from Hollywood.
