That "50%" thing is an Urban Legend, always has been. The marketing is never as high as people assume either.

Oh, for fuck’s holy sake.
Warner Bros-Discovery says it cost $125 million to market.
Other sources go as high as $200 million.
I split the difference.
If you think that was directed exclusively at Anwar, you’re mistaken (again).
It is, it always has been. No one could ever prove it. Same with how high Marketing costs are presumed to be.
People forget that a lot of the promotional and marketing costs are already paid off (at least partly) by deals the Studios make before the film comes out with whoever uses their business to help promote the film (Toy Companies for example).
Of course it wasn't. Still worked for my post. Thank you.

It is true. But hey at least it made a profit after the theater run.
It's not true, never was. It made a profit Theatrically AND on streaming.
Fact: Superman '25 proved popular and financially successful enough to get a sequel just two years later, and without putting him up against Batman, either.
Also fact: during the bidding war for WB, both Netflix and Paramount/Skydance explicitly and repeatedly pointed out that James Gunn and Peter Safran would stay on as heads of DC Studios, something they would not do if Superman '25 was not popular with audiences.

Great Caesar's ghost!!!

So, in the year that it has been out, it has generated a profit of $100-$125 million dollars by your estimation. I'm pretty sure most studios would sign up for that kind of profitability on a project pretty much any day of the week.
I'm a vocal believer that Reeve is the best Superman ever, but the idea that the Corenswet movie is a failure is just pathetically incorrect and the box office and the studio responses to its performance in no way scream, "FLOP."
Call the movie what you like, but failure isn't one of those accurate descriptors.

Supergirl and Man of Tomorrow will tell us more about the health of the Gunn universe than last year's Superman.
I like Corenswet well enough. Getting more of him isn't a bad thing.
Jeepers, I'm lacking connective tissue. My relative unfamiliarity with TNG may be showing. Is Perry White somehow connected as well?
Bev is well known for her love of candle ghosts.

The Reeve movies are pretty ridiculous. Reeve is good in them.
Agreed.
They have they're silly moments but the atmosphere just seemed more realistic. More real world. Maybe it's because of the lack of cgi. Maybe because it was shot on film. Film grain tends to have a more palpable look. Also I like the Daily Planet set better. It seemed more like a newspaper office.
