The “anti -state feeling” and cinema
Modern blockbusters would expect international sales to be the same or greater than nationals, so Gunn asked the question of what was behind that division.
“Without a doubt, we are having a better national performance than international, but at the international level we are also growing and obtaining very good results during the week, like us,” he told Rolling Stone. “So, obviously, mouth mouth is very positiveboth here and in the rest of the world. That is what we most needed to do. At the same time, there are certain countries where it is having a really good performance: Brazil and the United Kingdom. ”
He then explained that cultural differences, as well as the world’s world reputation, could be attractive to the famous superhero. “Superman is not well known in some places. It is not a superhero as well known in some places as Batman,” he said. “That influences. And also influences the unbeatted feeling that currently exists throughout the world. It really doesn’t help us“
However, he remained optimistic. “I think it’s just a matter of letting something grow. But, I repeat, For us, everything has been a resounding success. That the film has been released and has been welcomed throughout the world is only the seed of the tree that Peter (Safran, executive co -director of DC) and I have been watering during the last three years. So having had such a positive start has been incredibly overwhelming. “
