Fascinatingly, a new study from
Flixed reveals that the public is more likely to wait to watch DC Films at home than Marvel movies. It's no secret that Marvel Studios has sound considerably more success with the Marvel Cinematic Universe than Warner Bros.' DC Extended Universe, but this is still surprising given the popularity of the superhero movie genre.
The study delved into the public's streaming practices and how it impacts the way they consume media. It's said that 73% of the sample size are willing to wait to watch DC movies on their preferred streaming services rather than going to see them in theaters when they're released.
Marvel and
Star Wars movies, however, are something 66% of people do decide to go and check out on the big screen, a sign, perhaps, that they're considered more must-see viewing. It was bad news for Warner Bros. all round, though, because 75% of people said that they're more likely to view future instalments of the
Fantastic Beasts franchise at home rather than in theaters.
There's no denying that streaming services have had a huge affect on the way people watch their favourite movies, and that's why services like Disney+ and HBO Max are now looking to change things with big budget shows like
Green Lantern and
The Falcon and The Winter Soldier.
