Superman is launching a whole new DC universe on film. Of course the box office is going to be a major point of discussion.

Particularly when the main reason we're getting a whole new universe is because the last iteration of the DC Universe floundered at the box office beyond the first couple of films.

Maybe they’re including trailers?

Yeah, I saw Joker 2 opening night and sat through 30 minutes of trailers. Just not a good experience.

The last DCEU movie, made more money world wide than the last two Marvel films. Maybe Lobo should lead the new DCU.

The main problem was: general audiences didn't really like the movies. And that includes the first couple of movies that did well at the box office (thanks to initial hype).

Wonder Woman was the one that was really embraced by audiences. Aquaman, too. But by then you had already a general shrug about Batman and Superman. And with that shaky foundations.

Gunn is American and has been let down by the American educational system.

As a teacher this triggers me!!!!**

**Its true

Its not about whether it should be discussed, it is the unhealthy amount people talk/worry about it that is problematic. It dominates conversation and shifts the discourse from one of fandom to horseracing and anxiety. No matter the film once box office starts dominating the conversation the fun gets sucked out of all of this.

Well, well well...

I am guessing the Daily Planet staff are going to get their own posters. That might be why Lois hasn't gotten one yet.

Wasn't Ron Troupe supposed to be in this film as well? I'm surprised that he didn't get a poster.

Would You Pay $400 Million for This Movie?

Between delays, reshoots and rising costs, this year's summer blockbusters are racking up astronomically high price tags when factoring in marketing costs. Can the box office keep up?

www.hollywoodreporter.com

Last year, documents filed by the Supermanproduction team with the Ohio government seeking incentives listed the gross budget of the highly anticipated July film as $363.8 million. When that number was reported, director James Gunn — who also runs DC Studios — lambasted the article. “How in the world do they think they know what our budget is?” he wrote on social media. In recent days, DC suggested the budget is a net $225 million after incentives and tax breaks.

Yet one longtime financier says the $363 million figure isn’t incorrect. And sources say DC and its parent could spend as much as $200 million on the global marketing campaign, compared with the usual $150 million for an all-audience summer tentpole. It wouldn’t be a surprise, since Supermankicks off the Gunn era and needs to work at the box office. Either way, between the production budget and marketing, it’s certain to land in the $400 million club.

I only have one complaint about the character posters, Clark without glasses, come on DC studios.
