Superman ( Man of Steel 2) had to delay a whole 10 months since it was originally scheduled for July 17th, 2015, the same weekend where DC saw incredible success previously: On the DC side, the Batman and Superman films (even Green Lantern) have all taken June and July dates, two of which ( The Dark Knight & The Dark Knight Rises) earned over a billion dollars. The Hulks, Fantastic Fours and the first Captain America took later summer dates while Daredevil, Elektra, the Blades and Punishers took other dates throughout the year. Over the last decade or so, Marvel has traditionally owned May and owned it well, and they plan to continue the trend ( up until 2021 according to Marvel Studios' boss ). Superman, it now shares one of those very same weekends and we have an epic fight on our hands.
Fox and Sony traded years, alternating between X-Men and Spider-Man sequels in the mid-2000s until young Marvel Studios came along in 2008 with an unexpected megahit known as Iron Man which launched the Marvel Cinematic Universe as we know it.Īfter The Avengers continued upping the success by becoming the third highest grossing film of all-time in 2012, and after Iron Man 3 continued the success last summer, Disney and Marvel Studios were quick to lock down the opening May weekends for 20 with release dates for unannounced feature films. Ever since Sam Raimi's Spider-Man opened in theaters in 2002, breaking box office records around the world and mainstreaming the superhero genre, Marvel and the various studios holding rights to its characters have successfully reigned over the month of May when it comes to launching blockbusters.
