Superman: James Gunn Confirms A Release Date In China

Superman writer and director James Gunn confirmed that the film has snagged a July 11th release date in China.

Superman is heading to China, and the release date that director and writer James Gunn just shared is a pretty big deal. It's not often that the domestic release and China, which is one of the biggest audiences in the one, release on the same day. Western movies usually release weeks or even months after the fact in China, but every now and then, it works out that both countries get the same release date. This means that two of the biggest audiences in the world can see the movie at the same time, which is a good way to curb the illegal pirating of films. If you don't have to wait weeks to see a film, you're more likely to just go to the theater to see it in high-quality rather than some low-quality recording. Most people will choose with is easiest even if it means spending money and going to a theater over tracking down a download is the easier option. James Gunn took to social media today to share the Chinese poster for Superman and confirmed the July 11th release date. So the film will be opening internationally in some other markets on the 9th, but domestically and in China on the 11th. Warner Bros. is really setting this film up to have a massive opening weekend.
