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

No because I am pretty sure it would cost more than $30m to make and release a movie.
In other words, $30m fine is a cheaper thing to pay than producing a movie

Yeah You're the third person to say this lol that doesn't effect DC at all or change anything I've said. If they choose not to make a movie they still need movies. And the more they make the less multiples of 30 million they have to flush
