The director of Superman James Gunn reveals the “complicated” reason for the digital release of the film

Earlier this week, we learned that Superman arrives at digital much earlier than scheduled on August 15. Many fans have expressed their enthusiasm to review the film at home, but with the restart which behaves well in theaters, it is a confusing movement on the part of Warner Bros. Discovery.
There is a good chance that there is more money to be made from digital sales at this stage of the theatrical race of the film. However, the exhibitors are not satisfied with the decision, and when Screen Rant questioned James Gunn about this early outing, he explained why “complicated.”
“Well, it’s very complicated, but the truth is that it is because of the peacemaker,” The filmmaker said. “I thought that at the origin, Peacemaker was going to be released next month. There were a lot of things that are out of our control, so this Peacemaker is going out now.”
At the end of the day, I wanted everyone to see Superman who wanted, “ Gunn added, “Even these people who could not go to a theater before the peacemaker. And that’s really reason.”
We have seen the first five episodes of Peacemaker Season 2, and even if we cannot say too much before tomorrow, there is nothing in those who do Superman An essential watch beforehand (beyond a few disposable references to what happened in the metropolis).
Regardless, Superman was cut at the knees in theaters. Its final revised worldwide is now $ 605 million – $ 620 million. Tonight it will overcome Iron$ 585.8 million in the race, crossing $ 250 million internationally.
He also passed Aquaman And Joker In the United States, to become the fifth largest DC film of all time at the national box office. This weekend, Superman should undergo an important drop while moviegoers look at him at home rather than head towards their local multiplex.
However, if you do not arrive at the theater for this one, there is not much more time to wait before you can enjoy it without worrying about other moviegoers who speak of the greatest and the best moments!
