Spoilers Superman (2025) Grade and Discussion

[Kai "the spy"]

^ And James Gunn echoed that in one of the recent Peacemaker podcasts.

Again, yours is built on hollow, unsubstantiated claims about the desires of innumerable moviegoers, which you are incapable of knowing. What is known is that the near-universal praise / interest in Barbie and Oppenheimer was the only logical reason for the films' remarkable theatrical success. You can try to "level" the audience interest playing field (to aid the now-sagging MCU) with baseless claims as much as you like, but your underlying message created to protect the MCU of recent years is inapplicable to Barbie and Oppenheimer. Audiences who found many of the recent years MCU films lacking (or flat out awful) made that discovery in the theatres, hence the quickly sinking box office during their runs, which is verifiable..

Not unsubstantiated at all, as stated above both Nolan and Gerwig deliberately delayed both going to VOD and streaming precisely to draw more to the Cinema. Praise and interest simply aren't enough.

I don't really buy a lot of Blu-rays anymore, but I'll likely make an exception for this. Hopefully they release a 4K UHD version.

In a similar fashion, Superman is specifically being put on VOD early to complement the release of Peacemaker. I guess the strategy can work both ways.

And the advertised worldwide VOD release is US only. Great.

I just saw it available in Canada. Cineplex tells me I really want it.

UK shows that "release date to be announced".

I'd squint pretty hard at that offered rationale, TBH.

Gunn is the creative director and public face of DC Studios. I expect that he's a participant but not the single final arbiter of marketing or distribution decisions. Those are specialized aspects of the business.
