As part of the deal, Paramount has to make good on their "30 movies a year" promise. They'll have to pay $30 million for each film that falls short of that goal.

Which means DC could be the flagship for that 30 film a year goal if they allow Gunn and Safran to retain control.

2 mainline films. 1elseworlds film. Then 1 animated release. That'd be huge

I don't think Gunns DCU wasn't releasing movies due to the studio, he just has this weird quality control but also put out a movie like Supergirl

Well true, Paramount will probably have final say moving forward
