In 2017, Warner Bros. released 'Justice League' to tepid reviews and a disappointing box office. But two years later fans are clamoring to see a finished cut of the movie by Zack Snyder, which was never released. Why is the Hollywood studio resisting giving superfans what they want?
"Justice League" was released to harsh critical reviews and while it earned $658 million worldwide, that was on a $300 million budget and with domestic gross only reaching $230 million.
Because Whedon's version altered so much of Snyder's vision, fans have clamored to see the director's cut of "Justice League," believing it to be the purest version of the film. On Twitter, the hashtag #releasethesnydercut has trended on and off since the film's theatrical release.Ben Affleck, who portrayed Batman in the film, and Gal Gadot, aka Wonder Woman, recently tweeted out the hashtag in support of the release.
"I haven't heard one word about releasing that cut," Jeff Bock, senior box office analyst at Exhibitor Relations, said.After a series of misfires, which included lackluster critical responses to "Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice" and "Suicide Squad," the studio has hit its stride with hits like "Aquaman," "Wonder Woman," "Shazam" and Todd Phillips recent "Joker" origin story.
Warner Bros. also doesn't want to insult the filmmakers and crew that it brought in to patch up the project, Robbins said.
