Part 3/10:
The decision to release the film on digital platforms so soon after cinemas opened is seen as a clear sign of declining box office momentum. Historically, digital release strategies often mirror a film's underperformance in theaters, serving as a method to salvage revenue and engage audiences who missed theatrical showings.
James Gunn, the head of DC Studios, provided some insight into this move during discussions, linking the digital release to logistical adjustments caused by other projects like Peacemaker. He emphasized that the goal was to give fans a chance to see Superman easily, especially for those unable to attend theaters amidst other releases, although critics see this as a decline in confidence.
