It will be a difficult task.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT John David Washington returns to the sci-fi movie genre with The Creator, but it will struggle mightily to beat his box office record. The Creator comes from director Gareth Edwards, known for delivering crowd-pleasing and financially successful sci-fi movies in major franchises with Godzilla and Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. The 2023 movie is an original idea conceived by Edwards about the battle between humanity and A.I.
The 2020 Christopher Nolan movie marked the first major blockbuster role for John David Washington before he led The Creator's cast. He quickly proved to audiences that he could carry an action sci-fi movie on his back, as his performance as The Protagonist was instrumental to Tenet's success. Even though Nolan's movie released in theaters during the COVID-19 pandemic, his track record at the box office was not totally derailed.
It is worth noting that Gareth Edwards' last two movies made more than Tenet, as Godzilla made $529 million and Rogue One: A Star Wars Story made over $1 billion. Audiences may have really liked and responded well to Gareth Edwards' previous movies, but most casual viewers still wouldn't know his name. If The Creator was going to break John David Washington's box office record, it would likely need a perfect storm of events.
John David Washington Doesn't Need To Beat Tenet For The Creator To Succeed The good news for The Creator is that it does not need to beat Tenet to be a success. The 2023 sci-fi movie was made for only $80 million according to the director. The lower cost means that The Creator only really needs to make about $160 million at the box office to break even.
