Just watched it

Who the fuck decision it was to give Ruth so much damn screen time.

She was main damn character and that’s was horrible
 
Glad she didn’t go the Superman/Batman route and let the villain live


Double tapped his ass with the sword.
 
It's been 1 week and my area already knocked it down to 1 imax, 2 3d, and 2 regular. No dolby cinema anymore. Minions took it lol

Does this mean it'll go to digital quicker or will it be a slow dragging of the limited theatrical run and then the digital release?

I'd venture to guess it'll be on digital sometime in August.
 


Gunn and Gillespie had creative differences over the direction of the movie, numerous sources tell The Hollywood Reporter, and the film never found its footing in the post-production process. The test scores, which are counted on a scale out of 100 points, never escaped the 60s, according to multiple insiders. Another insider said the movie’s top score was 70.

Filming wrapped in May 2025, and as early as the fall of that year, the studio and Gillespie knew the movie wasn’t working. After a December test screening proved to be just okay, the studio decided to take matters into its own hands and took charge of the post-production to make its own cut. Gunn also enlisted writer Jeremy Slater, who previously wrote an unmade feature based on DC superhero team The Authority, to help with the post-production process.

The extent of Slater’s involvement is unclear, although it seems he helped write scenes for a nine-day shoot of additional photography. Original screenwriter Ana Nogueira remained involved in the post-production process as well. One issue at play was the climactic fight, which was reconfigured.

Other issues with the movie are unclear, but it is known that music was a key friction point. From his first Guardians of the Galaxy movie on, Gunn established himself as the master of the movie soundtrack and the all-important needle drop, earning praise for finding the right song and dropping it at the right time. Gillespie also has a reputation for melding music to movies, as seen in Cruella, his 2021 movie that cast Disney villainess Cruella de Vil as a punk rock rebel in London’s fashion scene.
 
It is unclear what major differences emerged, but one source says Gillespie’s version was 11 minutes longer and featured more of the villain, Krem, played by Matthias Schoenaerts. When the two competing versions tested, the scores surprisingly dropped significantly, although the studio’s inched out ahead of Gillespie’s…but by only two points, according to sources. Gillespie’s version scored strongly on song choices, pacing and villain. Eking out a win, even a middling one, the studio chose its cut as the one to go into theaters. A studio insider says the differences were not particularly pronounced.

Studio insiders paint the back-and-forth process as routine, but others, including one franchise filmmaker who spoke anonymously for this story but was not involved in Supergirl, held the opposite view.

“It happens more than you think, but it’s not normal,” said the filmmaker of the bakeoff. “If a studio is going to put money into the test process, it means they feel strongly about certain things.”

Seems like just a continued cycle over there DC. From Snyder to Gunn they keep running into the exact same issue
 
It sounds like Gunn should've backed off some. The fact this movie doesn't follow the original woman of tomorrow as much as it should've was already an issue.
 
Its hilarious that as soon as the reviews came out Gillespie immediately went "James Gunn made me do that".

I think test screenings really hurt a movie a lot of times. Studios should just take a chance and let the directors do their thing and if it bombs, they have a person to blame. When they meddle like this and do last minute changes it makes the fans not believe in any future projects
