Brady Corbet, director of 'The Brutalist', which has garnered four BAFTAs and three Golden Globes, revealed he has not financially benefited from the film. Instead, Corbet indicated that extensive promotional efforts over the past six months consumed the resources available, forcing him and co-writer Mona Fastvold to rely on an old paycheck. Despite 'The Brutalist' earning $31 million at the box office, ongoing expenses related to awards season promotion have resulted in no profit for him. Corbet's comments underscore financial challenges faced by many filmmakers despite critical acclaim and success at the box office.
"The timing during an awards campaign, having to travel every two or three days, was less than ideal, but it was an opportunity that landed in my lap, and I jumped at it."
"We had to just sort of live off of a paycheck from three years ago, as many filmmakers in the industry face financial struggles despite their films' success."
