In today’s Daily Fix:
DC Studios co-CEOs James Gunn and Peter Safran are out, in a massive shakeup in Skydance media subsidiaries. The announcement was made by owner Skydance co-CEOs David Ellison and Ynon Kriez. Gunn and Safran will be replaced by Jeremy Latcham, who previously worked as a producer with Gunn on Guardians of the Galaxy for Marvel. Gunn and Safran will stay on in producer roles on projects already in the works at DC Studios. This follows an up and down year for the rebooted film studio, with strong box office returns and reviews for James Gunn’s Superman last year, but a massive bomb with this year’s Supergirl. Clayface was a modest hit, and their HBO fare has been widely acclaimed. Gunn is still in the middle of post-production on next year’s Man of Tomorrow. In other news, Godzilla: Minus Zero opened to a titanic $64 million weekend worlwide, making it the biggest debut for a live-action foreign film ever. And in gaming news, Sony is launching a new model of the PlayStation Portal in Japan, and this could be the next step in a new full-fledged PlayStation gaming handheld.
