The worst DC comic book movie will return to HBO Max on July 1, despite Henry Cavill's Superman missing from the streaming service.
The most notorious DC movie failure of all time is set to land back on HBO Max on July 1, even though Superman fans can't watch Zack Snyder's Man Of Steel on the premium service. Ironically, the link between Shaquille O'Neal's cult DC movie Steel and Superman himself makes the release quirk feel even stranger. But at least it'll be a strong reminder of the weight of DC movie history that the new DCU reboot has to avoid when it relaunched with Superman: Legacy.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT 26 years after its 1997 release, Steel still holds the record for the highest second week box office drop for any comic book movie, after only taking $870,068 from 1,260 theaters initially. The supposed Superman spin-off - at least in terms of the character's DC comics origin - was a notorious critical bomb too, landing a 12% Rotten Tomatoes score.
Why Man Of Steel Isn't On HBO Max DCEU founding movie Man Of Steel remains one of the high-points of the tortured franchise, despite divided reactions at times. The near-perfect casting of Henry Cavill - which the DCEU never fully built on - a strong story, and an insightful modern take on Superman as a symbol make Man Of Steel a popular franchise addition even 10 years on.
Man Of Steel doesn't fit the logic of the HBO Max Originals removed from the service as a tax cost-cutting measure, but that doesn't mean it didn't save money by leaving. There's also value in streamers periodically dropping and re-adding legacy titles from a consumer point of view: like Disney's controversial Vault plan, removing supply can increase demand, and create spikes when the titles become available again.
