The DC Extended Universe. What was once seen as a potential rival to the massively successful Marvel Cinematic Universe, is now being abandoned after 16 movies and 1 show spanning a 10 year life time. Movies in general, have to earn 2 and a half times their budget to break even. The DCEU’s box office has been erratic to say the least, so throughout this documentary you will see some movies easily earn a profit and others failing to break even. This documentary highlights the 8 key moments of the DCEU. So join me today on this journey as we explore the downfall of the DCEU.
