You should be able to say that about any classic blockbuster film and it's director.

But if people didn't know who Nolan was from TDK, then Inception wouldn't have doubled the gross of any DiCaprio movie not named "Titanic".

And if people didn't know Nolan from TDK and Inception, than the weirdo space movie with Matthew McConaguey wouldn't have been one of the biggest movies of 2014.

Meanwhile, Abrams comes off of Star Wars 7, the highest grossing non-James Cameron movie of all time, and he can barely get his movie to gross more than 100 million, even with his name plastered all over the advertising.

I think it's pretty clear that more people are interested in Nolan than in Abrams, at least when it comes to going to see movies.
