Superman Vs Man of Steel: James Gunn's Superman Beats Zack Snyder's At The North American Box Office

Los Angeles, July 29 - In a huge achievement, director James Gunn's Superman has officially outgrossed Zack Snyder's Man of Steel at the North American box office and has become the highest-grossing solo Superman movie, cementing its place as a box office success. ## Director Zack Snyder's Man of Steel, released in 2013, earned approximately $291 million in North America. Though it marked the return of Superman to the big screen and introduced Henry Cavill in the titular role, the film received mixed reviews and divided fans with its darker tone. Despite a solid opening ($116 million), its box office momentum was lost. ## In contrast, James Gunn's reboot takes a more optimistic approach to the character, aligning more closely with Superman's classic portrayal. Featuring David Corenswet in the role of Clark Kent and Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane, the film has resonated well with audiences and critics alike. It has crossed $291 million as of today, edging past Man of Steel. ## At the worldwide box office, Superman has crossed $500 million and is heading towards finishing around $700 million, almost in the same range as Man of Steel, which earned $670 million globally in its lifetime run. Gunn's Superman serves as a fresh start to DC's cinematic universe under his co-leadership with Peter Safran, which has piqued audience interest and driven curiosity. ## Stay tuned...

Netflix Top 10: Zack Snyder's 'Rebel Moon - Part 2' Opens Lower Than The First Part

Mumbai, April 24 - Zack Snyder's epic space opera film Rebel Moon – Part Two: The Scargiver was the number one movie worldwide on Netflix's top 10 chart, but it failed to match the opening weekend numbers of its predecessor Rebel Moon – Part One: A Child of Fire which was released in December last year. ## Released on April 19, Rebel Moon 2 scored 44.2 million viewing hours from 21.4 million views in its first 3-day weekend. It generated 10.5% lower viewership than the first movie which scored 54.1 million viewing hours from 23.9 million views in its opening weekend.## Just like the first part, the sequel also opened to terrible critics' reviews while audience reception was also not encouraging which restricted it to below the first movie. The first movie managed to stay in Netflix's top 10 viewership chart for 5 weeks (including April 15 - April 21, 2024) during which it scored 78.4 million full views. ## The film takes place on the moon of Veldt where Kora and the crew of warriors venture to help the farmers to defend and fight for their home against the Motherworld. It stars Sofia Boutella, Djimon Hounsou, Ed Skrein, Michiel Huisman, and Doona Bae, among others in key roles. ## Stay tuned...

Zack Snyder's Netflix Film 'Rebel Moon - Part 2' Gets Disasterous Critics' Response

Los Angeles, April 19 - Zack Snyder's epic space opera Rebel Moon – Part Two: The Scargiver is getting ripped apart by critics as far as the initial response is concerned, just like the first part. ## After the disastrous response to the first movie, Rebel Moon: Part One - A Child of Fire, critics are calling its sequel even worse in terms of story as early reviews on Rotten Tomatoes are the worst ever for Zack Snyder's directorial. ## Rebel Moon - Part 2 started streaming on Netflix on April 19 and the current critics' score on Rotten Tomatoes is just 18% of 61 reviews. If the initial response stays (which is very likely), it is another shocker for Snyder who is planning to make four more films in the same franchise. ## It is to be noted that Rebel Moon - A Child of Fire was also slammed by critics as its Rotten Tomatoes score is just 21% from 173 reviews. The audience score too was on the average side with 57% from over 5000 ratings. ## The film takes place on the moon of Veldt where Kora and the crew of warriors venture to help the farmers to defend and fight for their home against the Motherworld. It stars Sofia Boutella, Djimon Hounsou, Ed Skrein, Michiel Huisman, Doona Bae, and Ray Fisher, among others in key roles. ## Stay tuned...

Zack Snyder's 'Rebel Moon' To Release As Two Films, Including A Director's Cut

During a recent interview with Vanity Fair, the "Justice League" director reveals his plans to make two versions of the movie.## "The first version of Rebel Moon to hit screens will be a fantasy adventure that anyone can enjoy and watch. The later cut will be strictly for adults. I think for fans of mine and people who are ready to take a deeper, harder dive, that'll be fun for them", he said.## Meanwhile, the movie will also have its sequel since there might not be enough time to tell the whole story in a single movie. The second part, however, won't be released too long after the first part (December 22). Just like its predecessor, the sequel will also come with an alternate cut meant to be seen by an adult audience.## The release date for the second part is not revealed yet. "It won't be long after. Netflix can do things that a traditional studio can't do as far as how close together the movies are released", the filmmaker added.## "Rebel Moon", which costs $166 million to make, follows a woman, Kora (Sofia Boutella) with a mysterious past who is sent out by a peaceful colony on the edge of the galaxy to find warriors after the society is threatened by the armies of the tyrant. ## The film features an ensemble cast that includes Sofia Boutella, Charlie Hunnam, Ray Fisher, Djimon Hounsou, Jena Malone, Corey Stoll, Ed Skrein, Cleopatra Coleman, Fra Fee, Cary Elwes, and Anthony Hopkins in key roles.## Stay tuned...

Warner Bros. Was Reportedly Not Happy With The Development of 'Zack Snyder's Justice League'

Los Angeles, August 30 - A lot has happened within Warner Bros. Discovery over the last few weeks with new leadership coming to the scene. In its quest to be the next Marvel, the studio behind DC superheroes has made multiple changes in the lineup of future films, one of them being the cancellation of the release of HBO Max's "Batgirl". ## Apart from its own international issues, Warner Bros. is dealing with outside noises too. The studio is having trouble with its upcoming DC film "The Flash", thanks to controversies because of Ezra Miller who plays the titular role. Now, according to Variety, the studio was not happy with the development of "Zack Snyder's Justice League" too. ## "Zack Snyder's Justice League" was a result of a massive fan movement on social media which forced the studio to develop the Snyder-cut version of Justice League. However, Warner Bros. insiders believe that "Zack Snyder's Justice League" never should've happened. ## Rather than quiet the unceasing online campaigning to #ReleasetheSnyderCut, the four-hour HBO Max feature only further entrenched the vocal and extremely online "Snyderverse" fanbase in opposition to the leadership at the studio in general and at DC in particular.## As per Variety, the "Snyderverse" fanbase may be hard to win over, but DC has to do a better job of cultivating the kind of compelling franchises that will enable them to build up the kind of passionate, engaged, and excited fanbase that can drown out the haters.## In another major development, it is reported that Legendary Entertainment is planning to part ways with Warner Bros. and make movies with either Sony or Paramount Pictures in the future. The two companies reunited three years ago, but it seems the ongoing development at Warner Bros. may become another reason for their split. ## Stay tuned...

Zack Snyder Reveals The Title Of His In-Development Army of the Dead 2

Los Angeles, October 28 - Zack Snyder's Zombie film, "Army of the Dead" was a hit on Netflix, which led streaming giant to sign a first-look deal with the filmmaker of the two years.

Speaking to Inverse about the sequel, the filmmaker teases the potential return of Army of Thieves lead Dieter.## "But the real adventure would be to see what happened to him when that safe door closed. Did he get killed by Zeus or not? What happened? We don't see him die on camera, and there's still some time left. I won't tell you what happens in Army of the Dead 2 — aka Planet of the Dead — but let's just say that there’s a chance Dieter survives. And there's a chance that brush with death would have caused him to want to find a jailed Gwendoline", Snyder said.## Meanwhile, Army of the Dead prequel, Army of Thieves is releasing this Friday (October 29) on Netflix. It is directed by Matthias Schweighöfer from a screenplay by Shay Hatten, based on a story he wrote with Zack Snyder.

He is hired by a mysterious woman to pull off a heist with the help of a misfit crew of aspiring thieves.## Snyder, on the other hand, is currently working on a sci-fi film titled "Rebel Moon" for Netflix. It focuses on a peaceful colony on the edge of the galaxy that is threatened by war from the armies of a tyrannical regent named Belisarius, and the only hope for the colonies is a young woman with a mysterious past who is sent out to recruit warriors from neighboring planets to defend the colony. Snyder has co-written the script alongside Shay Hatten (Army of the Dead) and Kurt Johnstad (300).## Stay tuned...

DC's Justice League Director Zack Snyder Names His Favorite Marvel Characters

Los Angeles, May 24, 2021: Director Zack Snyder holds a special place in Warner Bros' films, for whom, he has directed movies like Justice League, both the theatrical version he started and his own version that was recently released on HBO Max, Man of Steel, and Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. ## Snyder has been a big part of studios' attempt to create its own cinematic universe to rival Marvel Studios, which has been the home of Iron Man, Hulk, Captain America, Doctor Strange, Black Widow, and other characters of Marvel Comics. However, despite his close association with DC films, Snyder has also been a fan of Marvel. He's a fan of the studios' Superhero universe, and he's a big fan of two Avengers. ## Zack Snyder recently took part in a video for Wired where he answered some of the interesting questions asked by looking at how Google queries would autocomplete. Among the so many questions, Snyder was also asked whether he even likes Marvel, and surprisingly (not), he said yes and also mentioned two characters that he likes. ## "I do like Marvel. I love Marvel movies and I like Marvel comics. The Hulk has always been one of my favorites forever. And Iron Man", Snyder answered. Those who have followed Marvel movies would dare to disagree with Snyder with his picks of Marvel superheroes. ## There is certainly a rivalry between Marvel and DC, but it has largely been a friendly one so far. Zachery Levi played a character in Thor: The Dark World before going on to play Shazam!. James Gunn directed two Guardians of the Galaxy movies but has also now directed The Suicide Squad which comes out later this year. ## No doubt, there are fans who strictly following either Marvel or DC, but most of the movie lovers have a mutual feeling and excitement for both the comic books, including myself, who has been a big fan of Wonder Woman as well as Captain Marvel!
