**Warner Bros. Soars with “Superman” as Studio Enjoys Blockbuster Turnaround**

**HOLLYWOOD** – Warner Bros. is experiencing a stunning resurgence, marked by its fifth consecutive box office hit, “Superman,” starring David Corenswet. The film, which opened to strong reviews, is projected to earn $122 million domestically from Thursday to Sunday and another $95 million overseas, according to analysts.

This success follows a string of blockbusters, including “A Minecraft Movie,” “Sinners,” “Final Destination: Bloodlines,” and “F1: The Movie,” representing a dramatic turnaround for the studio after a period of disappointing performance.

“A hell of a run,” said David Zaslav, the CEO of Warner Bros. Discovery, attributing the success to a revamped strategy and the leadership of James Gunn, director and writer of “Superman,” who also heads DC Studios with Peter Safran. Zaslav emphasized the potential within DC, highlighting Gunn and Safran’s 10-year plan, which includes upcoming projects like “Supergirl,” “Wonder Woman,” and “Batman.”

“Our biggest strategic opportunity was that DC was underdeveloped,” he said. “Now we have Gunn and Safran firing with a 10-year plan. ‘Supergirl’ has already been shot. They’re working on Wonder Woman. They’re working on Batman.”

The success of “Superman” also demonstrates the studio’s ability to overcome pre-release criticism. Some right-leaning media outlets labeled the film “Superwoke” based on director James Gunn’s comments regarding the character’s immigrant status and the film’s message of basic human kindness. However, this criticism did not appear to significantly impact ticket sales.
