Reported details on why Skydance removed James Gunn & Peter Safran as co-heads of DC Studios:
• 'Supergirl' was viewed as a box office disaster
• Superman’s $618M box office was not impressive to Skydance — it reportedly lacked pop culture impact to them
• DC heads were reportedly reluctant or slow to share future DC plans, slate details and footage with Skydance execs
• They wanted to report directly to David Ellison to maintain strong control over the rollout of DC projects
• One insider says the exec shakeup has been in the works since early Fall
• Gunn and Safran will still have direct links to the studio, but with less control
• It is unclear if Gunn will get the chance to finish any of his vision for Superman, which reportedly includes a trilogy
• One DC insider expressed concern about whether fans will continue investing in the franchise if it is rebooted yet again
