Warner Bros film head Greg Silverman was interviewed for The Hollywood Reporter about the ongoing Harry Potter and Lego franchises and, oh yes, the DC movies.

DC Comics Month-to Month Sales: April 2015 – This comics company took off two...
by David Carter
Greetings, sales charts fans! It's time once again to look at DC's sales figures.
Last month (March 2015) was the worst month for DC sales since the start of the New 52, but this month was quite a turnaround!
Convergence has turned out to be a sales success for DC: Each issue of the core weekly Convergence title sold over 110K (though note that each issue was returnable...) The first issue of each Convergence tie-in title sold between 30K & (nearly) 70K, with most in the 30K to 40K range. While 30K - 40K might not seem like a lot, compare that to the fact that in March there were twenty-four regular DCU titles that sold below 30K. So essentially the Convergence event resulted in DC lopping off the lower end of their DCU sales and replacing them with moderately-selling comics, which rises the average sales considerably. Not bad for a stunt that was allegedly conceived simply as a way to give DC's regular editorial team a two-month break to move across the country to their new West Coast headquarters!
