"Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice."
Nearing the end of its theatrical run, the movie has only grossed $4 to date. For a superhero movie of its size, in which the two most famous comic-book characters of all time go head-to-head, that just doesn't cut it. The movie really $4 to be a success.
Meanwhile, "Captain America: Civil War" $4 in less than two weeks.
Though Warner has been putting on a strong face in public, it looks like the studio has decided to shake things up so it can rebound.
The studio just created a separate division for the releases of its DC properties, called DC Films, and has hired a pair of executives to run it, according to news of the shakeup at $4.

"Suicide Squad."
The shift is similar to what Disney has with Marvel Studios, whose president Kevin Feige oversees all aspects of adapting the comic-book characters to the screen, from choosing the producers and filmmakers to making key casting decisions.

Johns has been a key member in the launching of DC Comics' TV series like "Arrow," "The Flash," and "Supergirl."
It was essential for Warner Bros. to show that it has a cohesive unit running the DC properties. It has numerous projects coming out of that pipeline, including the much-anticipated "Suicide Squad" opening in August - which has already $4 - and the recently announced $4 starring Margot Robbie.
