In a new report in the New York Times about DC Films executive Walter Hamada, it’s revealed that Warner Bros. plans to release up to four DC movies in theaters a year starting in 2022. The report discusses the 2021 HBO Max strategy and stresses that the studio’s most expensive superhero movies are being saved for big theatrical releases, but that doesn’t mean they’re abandoning HBO Max entirely. The goal is to also release two DC movies directly to HBO Max per year, with the NY Times speculating these might be focused on “riskier” characters.
My quick thoughtsAs for which DC movies will be released in 2022, The Batman is slated for release in March of that year, The Flash is set to (finally) premiere in November, and Aquaman 2 is planned to arrive in December. What could that fourth movie be? Shazam! 2 is currently set to be released in June 2023, but I imagine Warner Bros. is waiting to see how quickly production can ramp up on Flash, Aquaman 2, Shazam! 2, and Black Adam to see if they want to shuffle their 2022 calendar around a bit. The Dwayne Johnson-fronted Black Adam was originally supposed to start filming this summer but was interrupted by COVID, and is now eyeing a Q1 2021 production start.
- It doesn't make sense in the fact that many DC movies aren't generally well-received but with exception of Justice League(and Green Lantern way back) most DC movies haven't been box office bombs so it makes sense business-wise they still feel confident about releasing 4 movies.
-4 Movies feel like a bit much to me, I am doubting the four theatrical movies a year is going to work but it is going to be interesting how fast the plan adjust, I am betting HBO max is going to get more stuff in the long run.
- CW era is over, I mean the shows were already coming to a close but there is no way they want this level of production and don't tightly control its characters. Don't expect long runs for the remaining stuff
