Not social media but from...let's say a rival celeb
“In the entire industry, no one understands what [Dunkirk] is doing here,” Besson tells me. “Typically this kind of film—great director, important subject—comes in November, going for Oscars. Why in July? It doesn’t make sense.”

Besson, for his part, is quick to praise Nolan as a visionary filmmaker—and points out that if, say, Inception 2 were coming out on July 21, he would have moved Valerian off the contested release date for fear of the films cannibalizing each other’s audience.
As it stands, however, the Frenchman believes moviegoers will likely divide along generational lines. “Everyone under 50 will go see Valerian,” Besson says, “and everyone above 50 will go see Dunkirk.”

He's still clearly upset over Warners dating Dunkirk for that day and expecting him to move, not to mention taking away his IMAX release and camera partnership.

Now that we know Dunkirk is a Memento/Inception type mindfvck, I would think it connects better with the under 50 age group once it is released and word of mouth begins spreading. Plus I would guess 95% of Nolan's fanbase in the general audience is under age 50.
