Although Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice didn’t achieve massive critical acclaim when it was released, it marked the beginning of the DC Extended Universe (DCEU). Over the next ten years, numerous films expanded this universe. However, the DCEU eventually started to falter. Now, James Gunn and Peter Safran, who form DC Studios, aim to model the DCEU after the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) and replicate its success.

On Sunday evening, during the middle stage of the festival, word spread that Mubi, the up-and-coming distributor who achieved a $1 billion valuation following the Oscar success of “The Substance,” had paid $24 million for the rights to distribute “Die My Love.” This film was one of Cannes’ most divisive, and with this purchase, Mubi is spending more than what “Anora” made at the domestic box office. They are investing in an edgy relationship drama due to the star power of its leads, Jennifer Lawrence and Robert Pattinson, who are rare movie stars nowadays.
