DC is shuffling it's schedule in it's anticipated loss over Batman v Superman but one films suffering while the other just made a small step forward. DC's Batman v Superman is currently known for two things, a massive opening weekend but a huge box office drop following in it's second week apparently has studio heads frantic to recover in the long run. Remember, Batman v Superman needs at least 800 million to being to see a profit after it's lofty spending campaign and with films like Barbershop 3 and Hardcore Henry and other new releases around the corner, it's not like that the film will remain #1 in the next few weeks. This is apparently why DC has decided to shuffle their schedule, moving Wonder Woman's solo debut from the end of June to June 2nd 2017 and pushing Andy Serkis's directorial debut, The Jungle Book (not to be confused with Disney's The Jungle Book) back an entire year from October 2017 to October 2018. There has also been two new solo DC properties added to the mix which a lot of fans are speculating might be a solo Batman film that we've heard plenty of rumors of as well as a possible sequel to the villain-centric Suicide Squad, due out at the end of this summer. All in all, DC's going to have to up it's game plan because Batman v Superman will be a hit in a long run but it's not the home run they were hoping for.
