The choice to hire Gunn as the helm of this film was a risky one. DC placed the formation of an entire universe on his shoulders. If it didn’t work out, the company’s long-term plans could’ve come crashing down. On the other hand, it’s hard to ignore Gunn’s track record or his gift of blending commerce with artistry.
The film had its biggest success in America. Los Angeles, New York and Dallas were its top three markets, respectively.
Superman, DC Studios’ first feature film to hit the big screen, is set to soar into theaters worldwide this summer from Warner Bros. Pictures. In his signature style, James Gunn takes on the original superhero in the newly imagined DC universe with a singular blend of epic action, humor and heart, delivering a Superman who’s driven by compassion and an inherent belief in the goodness of humankind.
The film was released on July 11th.
