I don't know where that amount comes from, I'm guessing some statistics about blockbusters budget/gainings ratio or something. People should be comparing this to the 2000s Fantastic Four movie, and not Endgame. Going by the character, maybe Superman: The movie, from the 1970's, which was a blockbuster, in the upper range. I like Gunn's attitude and agree with him about everything in the interview.

But does it still needs that much in sales to break even?
With Hollywood accounting it'll be a loss and the cgi contractor will go bankrupt (for the 3rd time).
Quite frankly, this is the first mainstream superhero movie I've been excited for in years.
The genre has stagnated. From what I've read, the main criticisms of this movie stem from its lack of focus solely on Superman (AKA, it is a movie by James Gunn).
It may very well be trash, but I honestly think this is going to be more respectful to the IP and audience than most Marvel films released since Infinity War.
If Batman 2 is as good as the first, and Gunn's version of Batman harkens back to something like Batman 89 or Adam West Batman, I think that DC will be in the perfect spot to usher in their new cinema golden age.
I gotta agree with James Gunn here. It's not that I was sick of the superhero movies, but sick of how bad they've all gotten. After Endgame, it was just pile after pile. And the whole DCEU was a pile from the start. I got my tickets to Superman though because I love Superman and Gunn's movies were the better of the superhero stuff. But it's also disheartening that the general audience and media seem to have deem it a failure already.
