Wonder Twins Movie Reportedly Cancelled Due To Budget

Wonder Twins Movie Reportedly Cancelled Due To Budget

Zaslav’s plan, at least as it relates to DC films, is not without merit. Matt Reeves’ The Batman was released theatrically on March 4th with a 45-day window, pulling in $768 million before dropping on HBO Max. However, the DC movie prior to that was James Gunn’s The Suicide Squad, which released theatrically and on HBO Max day-and-date, which was a flop theatrically, pulling in just $167 million worldwide from a budget of $185 million. The pandemic almost certainly had something to do with the return, but it left the question of whether or not the film would’ve performed better had it gone to theaters first before hitting HBO Max, as The Batman did. It’s unclear exactly what Zaslav’s strategy will be going forward, but it does sound like WB Discovery is trying to find a stronger balance between theatrical versus streaming when it comes to original and theatrical content.

The Wonder Twins movie always seemed like an odd choice for WB to be adapting, especially when they have so many well-known and popular characters that aren’t in the spotlight. Why a Wonder Twins movie would be made before something involving under-served characters like Deathstroke, Green Arrow, Lobo, or countless other IP properties within DC is a mystery. Hopefully, Zaslav and his team at WB Discovery will tap into the right vein for the future of the DCEU going forward, rather than plucking from obscurity when it comes to delivering the entertainment fans are looking for.
