'Superman' by James Gunn will premiere in digital this Friday

James Gunn y Warner Bros. They surprised the audience with this announcement.

And is that despite the commercial success that you are having right now Superman In theaters, it was confirmed that the DC Studios movie will arrive at digital platforms this weekjust just over a month after its premiere on the big screen.

To understand a little better the surprise of the newly confirmed, we tell you about the performance of Superman en la box office.

His exhibition at the national box office is considered good (accumulates $ 332.3 mdd), while its reception in the international market has been warm and has not “made jalón” in the same way (accumulates $ 248.7 mdd). Right now A world $ 581 million world boxand at the end of his passage through cinemas he will be considered a moderate box office hit.

Returning to the announcement of his digital debut, prior to what was confirmed yesterday, reports arose about a digital arrival plan The Fantastic Four.

To do even more questionable things, Gunn announced that Superman will make your digital format debut this Friday, August 15only 35 days after its premiere on the big screen.

A digital launch will make it difficult for its collection to cinemas to have a significant increase, and will affect the Final collection previously projected between $ 620 and 640 million dollars.

Similarly, WB cast down the great impulse that A Minecraft Movie He carried in cinemas, with a digital launch that probably affected his chances of reaching one billion dollars at the global box office.

We also have to see the other side of the decision. Because It is possible that the study can earn more money with digital salesbut this is still a disconcerting decision that probably enrages the exhibitors.

The advantage for fans is that it means being able to see Superman At home this same weekend … a weekend in which, many of them would have bought an entrance to see it in the cinema.

The question is … Who will the exit of Superman of billboard? We will see it in the next few days.

And for the most curious: Superman your cinemas will end behind the total collection of Man of Steel (2013), which made a global box of $ 670.1 million.
