James Gunn's Superman Reboot Faces Challenges Overseas
Imagine Superman is a cool superhero, but not everyone around the world knows him as well as people in America.
A new movie about him is doing great in the U.S., making lots of money.
However, when the movie goes to other countries, it's not doing quite as well.
The director thinks it's because some places don't know Superman as much as Batman.
He also thinks some people might not like the movie because of how they feel about America.
This makes the movie's success a bit different in different places.
James Gunn's DC reboot may be underperforming internationally.
The film earned a solid $253 million domestically.
Gunn believes Superman's recognition varies globally compared to Batman.
The director noted that overseas buzz isn't matching the U.S. success.
Gunn attributes the differing reception partly to anti-U.S. sentiments.
