The Prestige, starring Christian Bale and Hugh Jackman, is getting a worldwide re-release, including IMAX. The film might not be one of the biggest blockbusters in Christopher Nolan’s filmography, but it has developed a cult following over the years. It was a box-office success, but with the upcoming re-release, it has a chance to earn its second major global milestone. Is it possible? Leep scrolling for the deets.
Nolan is regarded as one of the most influential and esteemed filmmakers worldwide. He is part of an elite group of filmmakers, which means he has come a long way since the Hugh Jackman starrer, which was originally released in 2006. A lot has changed for Nolan in these two decades, but he was an experimental filmmaker back then, as he is now.
The Prestige at the worldwide box office
According to Box Office Mojo, The Prestige collected just $14.8 million in its opening weekend at the box office in North America. The movie grossed more than $109.7 million worldwide at the box office during its run. The film was reportedly made on a $40 million budget and has earned slightly more than its break-even target, making it a financial success, but it is nothing compared to his other movies.
