DC FanDome Was A Huge Hit For Warner Bros. With 22 Million Views; Trailers Generate Over 150 Million Views

Variety is reporting that the DC FanDome: Hall of Heroes event generated a total of 22 million views across 220 countries during its 24-hour run online, with the trailers - for movies like The Batman and Justice League: The Snyder Cut - generating upwards of 150 million views since the weekend. 

"We really wanted to put together an event that would super-serve the fans," Warner Bros. TV group president and chief marketing officer Lisa Gregorian told the trade yesterday. 

It's said that there were over 300 people on camera with roughly 250 people behind the scenes, and the content we saw was filmed over a two-week period near the end of July. That gave the production team just three weeks to put it all together, and the final eight-hour cut was read a week before the event took place; it was a massive undertaking, and one that paid off in a big way.

The budget for DC FanDome hasn't been revealed, though it sounds like it cost much less than a Hall H panel at the San Diego Comic-Con. "We reached a lot of fans around the world that we wouldn’t normally be able to reach," Gregorian explains. "We were able to have questions from India answered, or artwork looked at from the Philippines or South Africa, by the talent."

Now, it sounds like DC FanDome could return somewhere down the line, though Gregorian noted that in a post-COVID-19 world, there will be room for virtual and physical events like this.

Are you hoping for DC FanDome II?

@Necropolitan - I guess, but is there much of a point without the big 2, like yeah there can still be guests and cosplay stuff, but it probably wont be on the same scale it usually is

@Necropolitan - because there's not much left to talk about it lol. It's been stuck in release limbo for so long, the hype is dying.

Cool. It was tons of fun. So much to look forward to but to be a success it has to turn into tickets sold.

Impressive. I have a new-found appreciation for folks who adapt quickly to broadcasting events online.

@TheSnyderClunge - D23 is every 2 years. So 2021 is their next one anyway.

For a Batman movie, wonder if they would ever consider simplifying the Joker, no make up and no acid. If they wanted to they could give him the white skin by

Make him someone with Vitiligo or an albino

Dont know if either would work, but it would be an option

I had so much fun that for all i care, they could do it every year and SDCC could be about...everything else.
