Nolan is maybe the most bankable director working today, so it's no shock WB basically hands him a blank check. He hasn't failed them yet.
Keep in mind this kind of budget is probably the new normal for big tentpole action movies. It's not like this is a case of a budget ballooning out of control. Most movies of this type are costing this much and will continue to do so moving forward, people are just still in that sticker shock phase about it.

If Nolan ever made Star Wars.
I'll be he'll find a way to make an actual Lightsaber. And film on Mars

Dunkirk's box office is kinda crazy. A WWII movie, with no real leading star power, dropped in the middle of summer -- among superheroes and other major, known franchises -- making half a billion dollars is a real testament to the strength of Nolan as his own brand.
I think with a non established or comic book IP, its less about the opening weekend and more about the total BO revenue.
They've actually managed to shrink IMAX cameras a lot in the last ten years. They're small enough to put on the jets and helicopters to observe Tom Cruise trying to kill himself in Top Gun and MI: Fallout.
They show Bruce and "Miss Tate" pre and post-coitus in The Dark Knight Rises. And The Dark Knight implies Bruce slept with all those russian ballerinas he took with him to Hong Kong on his yacht, before he went off to kidnap the Gotham mob's money guy. Apart from that... I got nothing.
WB didnt even have think twice to sign that check. Apparently Nolan is one of the few filmmakers who not only delivers a finished film on time but tends to not even use the full budget given to him. The dude is a joy to work with.

Functionally speaking, a Nolan movie is an established series at this point.
Yeah Nolan is one of the most safe bets in Hollywood with that kind of budget as well
Yep. Nolan's movies have insane legs. If it opens at 60 domestic WB will be fine.
I will never stop being annoyed with Nolan trying to force me into the cinema. Why can't he just release the prologue online after a month or something. Anyone remember when the Wachowskis released episodes of The Animatrix online for free? I watched them during lunch break at uni. Good times.
Why would you want to see IMAX footage on a monitor for the first time? Nolan actually gives people a reason to see his films on a big screen.
Technically John Carter wasn't entirely original considering the source material.
80-95 million. There is nothing around it in either direction. By the end of July, people will be ready to hit the theater for a big summer movie.

Nolan needs to revive his Howard Hughes film before Carrey gets too old.
I gotta say, all big budget blockbusters have 9 figures marketing budgets. Like, ALL.

Star Wars is also... y'know, Star Wars. Movies with insane sets, massive cg work, puppets, and a massive marketing and merchandising machine to support. Nolan is certainly more creatively ambitious, but usually his creativity manages to be a little more restrained.
How much was Interstellar or Inception?
Inception was 160 million. Interstellar was 165. Account for inflation, he's basically been given the same budget. He's also someone who comes in ahead of schedule and under budget. There is a good chance the 200 million is lower when the dust settles.
Doesn't it bring it down, due to all the tax breaks and shit?
Indeed. Lest we forget, the man is adamant about shooting in film, at all times.

Scorsese literally just got 200 millions for a straight to Netflix mobster film starring old people
Nolan is the proven property. He's one of the few directors these days to be a genuine brand name. Tarantino as well, but he doesn't make such expensive films.
I'm sure a lot of stunts and visuals. Probably Inception+ as far as that goes.
He'll make them a profit.
