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

One of the reasons Skydance replaced James Gunn and Peter Safran as the heads of DC Studios had to do with box office.
• ‘Supergirl’ was a massive bomb this year.
• ‘Superman’s $618M box office was not impressive to Skydance either, as the film lacked “pop culture impact” in their eyes.
