James Gunn Says It’s ‘Nonsense’ to Think ‘Superman’ Will Flop If It Doesn’t Make $700 Million: ‘It Doesn’t Need to Be as Big as People Are Saying’


James Gunn says 'Superman' does not have earn at least $700 million at the box office in order to be a box office hit.

Gunn, who is also the co-head of DC Studios with Peter Safran, recently told GQ magazine as part of a cover story for “Superman” star David Corenswet that his movie is “not the riskiest endeavor in the world” as some are painting it as. The film, which carries a reported budget in the $200 million range, is arriving in theaters at a time when comic book movies are no longer box office certainties. Gunn spoke to Rolling Stone in 2023 and said that while “superhero fatigue” is definitely a real thing, it is not why comic book movies fail at the box office.
