From The Wrap:
Just days after Marvel showed the strength of its brand with a $94 million haul for “Guardians of the Galaxy,” Warner Bros. has decided to release “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice” in 3D on March 25, 2016, avoiding a high-profile showdown with “Captain America 3” on May 6, 2016.
The studio has also revealed release dates for an entire slate of movies based on DC Comics
AWESOME! The sooner the better in my opinion
lol
That game of Chicken ended quite quickly
When you have to move a film with Batman AND Superman, among many others for Captain America it's a little embarrassing
I don't think it's a fear threat for two reasons.
1 Releasing it on the same day as Captain A no matter what cuts into your profits. With this being WB's leading film that will most likely help budget the rest, they need the most profit possible. You may "win" the battle, but every single person that see's Captain A is a possible loss.
Meanwhile Captain A is just a film for Marvel. It isn't "as" important to them, so they wouldn't budge.
2 Look where they moved it. It's still battling Captain A because it could still be lingering in theaters by the time Captain releases. If anything it is more like shots fired.
