DC Studios Co-CEO James Gunn Debunks Rumors About Superman's Box Office Success Requirement
James Gunn, co-CEO of DC Studios, dismisses claims that Superman needs to earn $700 million at the box office to be considered successful as 'complete and utter nonsense.' Gunn emphasizes that the pressure on the movie is not as significant as portrayed online. The rebooted DC Universe, starting with Superman, faces high expectations, but Gunn believes the success criteria are exaggerated.
With Superman set to kick off the rebooted DC Universe for Warner Bros., there is a lot riding on its box office performance. Writer and director James Gunn dismissed rumors about the movie needing to make $700 million to be successful. Gunn stated that the pressure is not as big as people think and called the $700 million figure 'complete and utter nonsense.'
Gunn emphasized that while there is pressure for the movie to perform well, it does not need to reach the rumored box office target to be considered a success. The true performance of Superman will be revealed during a financial call by Warner Bros. boss David Zaslav. The movie is crucial as it sets the stage for future DC Universe projects, such as the HBO series Peacemaker Season 2, Supergirl, and Clayface.
Gunn, who is actively promoting Superman, acknowledged that some may criticize the film for its focus on kindness. He also made a humorous appearance with Zack Snyder on Rick and Morty to playfully mock each other's interpretations of Superman.
