‘Superman’ Is About To Break A 17-Year-Old DC Curse
The post ‘Superman’ Is About To Break A 17-Year-Old DC Curse appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Box office hounds are currently looking at the horse race between Superman and Fantastic Four, the former of which will apparently top the latter unless some dramatic shift takes place in the imminent future. It’s not just a “win” for DC and the new DCU, it’s something that goes well beyond that. If this happens with Superman, and it’s almost certain it’s about to, this will be the first time a DC movie was the highest-grossing comic book movie of a given year since 2008. Can you guess what that was? Yep, Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight. Of course, 2008 was also when the MCU began with Iron Man. The DCEU did not kick off until 2013 with Man of Steel, but in that five year gap there was nothing that topped Marvel (even The Dark Knight Rises), and even the biggest DCEU movie, Aquaman, did not beat out Marvel’s big entry that year, Avengers: Infinity War (of course it didn’t). What’s the full list? I think it’s interesting to take a look at. I’m going to start at 2006 just to give a frame of reference (the previous two years were Marvel too, naturally): 2006 – X-Men: The Last Stand 2007 – Spider-Man 2008 – The Dark Knight 2009 – X-Men Origins: Wolverine 2010 – Iron Man 2 2011 – Captain America: The First Avenger 2012 – The Avengers 2013 – Iron Man 3 2014 – Guardians of the Galaxy 2015 – Avengers: Age of Ultron 2016 – Captain America: Civil War 2017 – Spider-Man: Homecoming 2018 – Avengers: Infinity War 2019 – Avengers: Endgame 2020 – No Marvel movies were even out due to COVID, DC had Birds of Prey and Wonder Woman 1984, the latter of which was released simultaneously on HBO Max. Bizzare, bad year, as…
