The Brutalist director Brady Corbet says he has made ‘zero dollars’ from the film


The multi-Oscar-nominated director has said many of his fellow contenders are experiencing similar financial difficulties

Anora, Sean Baker’s sex worker romance, which won best casting and the best actress award for Mikey Madison at Sunday’s Baftas, took the Palme d’Or at Cannes last May. Meanwhile Emilia Pérez is on $15m from a $22m budget, but enjoyed only a limited theatrical run before moving to Netflix, while Nickel Boys has charted a significant loss, making just $2.5m back of its $23.2m spend.
