James Gunn recently commented Supermans Performance both domestic and internationally since the release on July 8.
Told Gunn Rolling stones“We definitely do better domestic than we are internationally, but internationally also rise and have really good weekday numbers in the same way we are.”
“So obviously mouth -to -mouth is very positive both here and everywhere else. Which is what we needed to do the most,” he added.
According to DC Studios’ Co-CEO, while countries such as Brazil and Britain show a strong number, the global recognition of Superman varies greatly. “Superman is not a well -known item in some places. He is not a great known superhero in some places that Batman is. It affects things,” he explained.
He also noticed the sentimental role it had to play, “There is a certain amount of anti-American mood around the world right now. It doesn’t really help us.”
Still, Gunn remains optimistic and sees this as the beginning of a larger vision. “This is just the seed of the tree that Peter [Safran] And I have been watering for the past three years, “he said,” being able to start it, so positively has been incredibly overwhelming. “
Gunn has previously described Superman As “the story of America” added “an immigrant who came from elsewhere and populated the country, but for me it is mostly a story that says basic human kindness is a value and is something we have lost.”
For those who are unattended, Superman has earned a robust $ 253 million domestic, while its international gross stands at $ 173 million, bringing its global context to an impressive $ 426 million.
