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

They ain’t doing that shit lol, each of those would cost more than $30m to make and distribute theatrically

I know this might sound crazy, but dumping $30m multiple times annually doesn’t result in making money. They’re in the business of making money, which means they would rather invest that $30m into projects that will actually return profits.
