#RestoreTheSnyderVerse: Zack Snyder Fans vs. WarnerMedia

Creative Fans This Week Zach Snyder launched a vigorous activity in social networks. As a result, the hashtag #RestoreTheSnyderVerse has collected over 1.5 million posts on Twitter. It took him less than 24 hours to do this. The previous record holder was considered a hashtag #AvengersEngame, which holds the record for the cumulative number of publications (over 40 million).

One of the catalysts of the flash mob was the provocative statements of the head WarnerMedia Studios Ann Sarnoff… Even before the publication of the first indicators “Justice League Zach Snyder“(Zack Snyder’s Justice League) portal Variety posted a long interview with a top manager, in which she announced that there were no plans for further cooperation with the director.

In addition, Sarnoff made it clear that WarmerMeda has no plans to repeat the experiment and release. “Suicide Squad by David Eyre“(TheAyerCut). She also lashed out at Zack Snyder’s “toxic” fans, accusing them of intimidating top executives who are considered opponents. SnyderCut

“We want the DC fandom to be safe and inclusive. We want people to be able to speak out calmly in support of what they like, but we don’t want it to slip into a ‘culture of canceling’ things that small groups don’t like.” Sarnoff explained.

The Variety article was published on Monday, prompting questions from fans, journalists and bloggers. At that time, only the Russian streaming service shared official statistics “Kinopoisk HD“, which acquired the rights to screen” Justice League Zach Snyder “.

Apparently, WarnerMedia wanted to cool the ardor of DC fans and sabotage the showing of Snyder’s tape. But the #RestoreTheSnyderVerse hashtag record proves that the company has achieved exactly the opposite effect.

And on March 23, the first data on views on HBO Maxpublished by the analytical platform Samba TV… It turned out that in the first three days in the United States, the film was watched by 1.8 million households.

Portal Deadline hastened to report that “Zach Snyder’s Justice League” has ceded “Wonder Woman 1984“(Wonder Woman 1984), which was viewed by 2.2 million households in the first three days. But you need to understand that the controversial film Patti Jenkins was released on HBO Max on December 25, 2023, when all of America celebrated the Christmas holidays, sitting at home.

In addition, it is much more correct to compare “Zach Snyder’s Justice League” with other releases that came out in a quieter season. And this is where the fun begins.

The fact is that SnyderCut managed to overtake the premiere episode of the series in terms of views “Falcon and the Winter Soldier“(The Falcon and the Winter Soldier), setting a new record Disney + by views (1.7 million households). At the same time, the Disney streaming platform significantly surpasses HBO Max in terms of audience size and coverage of regions.

Directly press services of the streaming service “Kinopoisk HD” reported that on the day of the premiere of “Justice League of Zach Snyder” was watched by more than 400 thousand subscribers.

In Canada, the tape set a record. According to the streaming service press release Crave, SnyderCut has been watched by over 1.1 million people. The previous record holder of the platform was considered the series “Game of Thrones” (Game of thrones).

What matters to HBO Max and other streaming services is how many minutes viewers have spent watching content. Wonder Woman 1984 runs 2 hours 31 minutes, and the first episode of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier runs 50 minutes.

The duration of “Justice League Zach Snyder” exceeds four hours, and not all viewers were able to master the tape in one sitting. The director himself even divided his version into chapters, encouraging them to take breaks. According to Samba TV, the entire film was watched by a third of the above-mentioned 1.8 million households. Similar statistics are given by “Kinopoisk HD”.

This means that Zach Snyder’s Justice League has a margin of safety. At the same time, the figure of 1.8 million views is quite decent.

According to the editor-in-chief Geekosity Mikey Sutton citing their sources, WarnerMedia CEO Jason Kilar was absolutely delighted with the performance of Zach Snyder. But his opinion was not given in the Variety material.

According to the portal Small Screen, for an exclusive contract with Snyder now are fighting HBO Max and Netflix… At the same time, you need to understand that SnyderCut was released at the request of the conglomerate AT&Twhich controls WarnerMedia and HBO Max. However, the top management of WarnerMeda, including Ann Sarnoff and the head DC Films Walter Hamadoo, wants to go his own way, leaving Zach Snyder overboard.

Summing up, I just want to write one thing: #RestoreTheSnyderVerse! Zack Snyder himself has already thanked fans for their support.

“I don’t think they can ignore it,” the director wrote pointedly.
