In the Tweet, theRed Noticeactor shared an insane fan reaction from a theater in France which he described as “AUDIENCE ERUPTION”. Further the actor elaborated that the movie opened #1 in France, Indonesia, Korea, and the rest of the world.
The cheering fan reaction Rock shared is most likely from the end-credits sequence when we witness the return of the Man of Steel which was hyped by the fans and Johnson himself for a long time. The movie ends with a massive hint of a colossal-scale Superman vs Black Adam fight in the future of DCEU. The fans even hailJumanji: Welcome to the Jungleactor for his contribution to bringingHenry Cavill’sSuperman back to the main plotline. And while everything seems smooth for WB and DCEU, their rival company Marvel Studios doesn’t seem so happy.

As per France’s policies, any theatrically released film would have to wait for 17 months before making its way to Disney+ that too only for five months. Following that, the movie would be available on free-to-air channels for 14 months before permanently returning to Disney+. This has led to all the past projects of the MCU Phase 4 being absent from the country’s Disney+. Seemingly Disney was not happy with this and after a long tussle finally allowed the movie to go for a theatrical release on November 9.
Disney unhappy with the French policies
In the statement issued by Disney, it can be clearly understood that they are everything but happy to agree on this complicated post-theater process.
“As we have stated before, we believe the chronology is anti-consumer and puts all studios at increased risk for piracy, which is why the majority of the stakeholders agree that it needs to be completely revised. We will remain actively engaged in the upcoming meetings and we will work closely with the CNC, the Ministry of Culture and the various other stakeholders to try and find a quick and equitable solution for all parties. In the meantime, we will continue to make future release decisions on a film-by-film basis.”
The company openly criticized the process as “anti-consumer” and complained that it encourages the risk of piracy. According to them, they are working actively to find a stable solution to it, and meanwhile,Black Panther 2won’t get a release in France’s Disney+ before Spring 2024 as per the current policies.
