While critics and audiences generally loved Superman, it didn’t make as much money in theaters as some might think. Despite successfully launching the new DC Universe and paving the way for a sequel, Netflix reports the film had a somewhat slow start, leading them to release it for home viewing sooner than planned.
I was listening in on the Senate hearing, and Netflix CEO Ted Sarandos addressed their deal with Warner Bros. to show their movies in theaters for 45 days before they hit Netflix. He admitted that timeframe isn’t set in stone – a film’s success (or lack thereof) in cinemas could speed things up. He pointed to Superman as a movie that ended up streaming faster than expected. Now, James Gunn had said Superman‘s early digital release was planned to coincide with the Peacemaker show, but Netflix is claiming it was actually how the movie did in theaters that made the call.
The typical timeframe for allowing content to be available before taking action is 45 days. However, this can change depending on a film’s performance. For example, ‘Superman’ had a shorter availability period, while ‘Sinners’ was available for a bit longer.
More to come.
