Republican and Democratic leaders in the House and Senate announced on Sunday a compromise COVID relief bill, a bill which if passed and signed by President Trump will provide financial support to a number of companies in the entertainment space.

The bill includes $15 billion earmarked specifically for live event venues, independent movie theaters and cultural institutions, all businesses hit hard by the pandemic. It also expands the eligibility of the Paycheck Protection Program to include local TV and radio broadcasters, as well as newspapers.

According to a report from the Wall Street Journal, Christopher Nolan is “unlikely” to work with Warner Bros. in the future based in part on the decision by WarnerMedia to release films directly in theaters and HBO Max on the same day. It’s unclear how that might affect projects he currently has in development, but if true, it’s a massive blow to WB, who banks on Nolan films for their box office appeal.

I guess he'll go to Paramount

I don't now why but I doubt Nolan can fully fund his next project solely with his own Syncopy
