James Gunn Announces August 15 PVOD Release for Superman

The early PVOD date underscores DC Studios’ push for accelerated windows after the film’s record US box office, preceding a September 23 physical release with bonus content.

Overview

  • Superman will be available for premium video-on-demand purchase and rental on August 15 across major digital retailers including Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV and Fandango at Home.
  • Pre-orders for the digital release are live ahead of 4K UHD, Blu-ray and DVD editions hitting stores on September 23.
  • Home editions will include deleted scenes, a gag reel, director commentary by James Gunn, multiple featurettes and an original Krypto the Superdog short.
  • The roughly 35-day window between the July 11 theatrical debut and home release reflects a growing industry trend toward shorter exclusivity periods.
  • The move follows Superman’s record-breaking US performance—over $331 million domestically—and a global haul of about $581 million despite softer international returns.
