The second weekend after release, "The Flash," which was originally hailed by its own studio as "one of the greatest superhero movies of all time," ought to be easily dominating the box office.
However, in this alternate reality, viewers are outright rejecting the Warner Bros. film, which stars Ezra Miller as the titular, time-traveling speedster. The DC comic book adventure isn't celebrating its success; instead, it's plummeting to third place behind "Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse" and Pixar's "Elemental" and just ahead of Jennifer Lawrence's brand-new R-rated comedy "No Hard Feelings."
With $15.3 million from 4,265 North American theaters over the weekend, "The Flash" had a brutal 73% fall from its first weekend's $17.3 million. The recent DC adaptations "Black Adam" (59%) and "Shazam! Fury of the Gods" (69%), which turned out to be noteworthy financial losses for the studio, experienced a much smaller decline than this one.
It's a disastrous outcome for "The Flash," a $200 million budgeted tentpole, as it indicates that ticket sales won't increase during the movie's theatrical run. The movie has so far earned a pitiful $87 million domestically and $123.3 million overseas, bringing the global tally to $210.9 million.
The fact that James Gunn and Peter Safran, the new bosses at DC Comics, have stated aspirations to reboot the comic book industry, is one of the issues. Because of this, viewers have mixed feelings about lame-duck tentpoles like "The Flash." The two DC films still in limbo, Blue Beetle (due out on August 18) and Jason Momoa's Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom (due out on December 20), are sad victims of this.
