LOL, that's great..

For superhero movie scale, End game and Infinity War are excellent movies this is not an excellent movie.

This movie was not as bad as a typical DC movie but it also wasn't excellent. DC just hasn't done enough to get people on board, Shazam failed hard for the same reason.

You're a loser who hates everything. Cut your hair. Loser.

This was the best super hero movie yet. I loved it.



Michael Keaton is the best the GOAT Batman. Nostalgic.



The Flash is my favorite Super Hero so I knew I'd like it.

Apparently Black Adam outperformed it.

I couldn’t even make it through a damned preview of that shitshow.

Leaving the house in a few minutes to go see this. If it wasn’t for Keaton’s return as Batman I wouldn’t bother.

And as bad as it appears to be bombing, imagine how much worse the numbers could be if not for Keaton.

I’m not inclined any one way going into it - other than excited to see Keaton again of course.

I liked the movie quite a bit, probably more so than most of the DC movies. Just because it’s doing bad at the box office doesn’t mean it’s not good. At the very least you’ll have plenty of elbow room at the theater.

The bad news for Warner Bros./DC’s “The Flash” just got worse. After the tentpole blockbuster bombed last weekend with a much lower than hoped $55 million opening, industry estimates have it dropping by more than 70% this weekend to $14-16 million, falling to No. 3 on the charts below Disney/Pixar’s “Elemental” and Sony’s “Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse.”

The first signs that such a drop was coming arrived on Thursday afternoon, when Wednesday numbers were reported and showed that both “Spider-Verse” and “Elemental” had beaten “Flash” in the daily grosses. Daily grosses for Thursday showed the same trend, as “Flash” grossed just $2.8 million on that day to finish its first week with a domestic total of $72.1 million, below the $83.4 million first week total of “Black Adam.”


‘The Flash’ Plummets at Box Office With Second Weekend Drop of Over 70%

The Flash has set a new record for DC – though it's not a great one.

The film suffered a 73% drop in its second weekend, making it the worst-ever second-weekend drop for a DC film and the worst second-weekend drop for a comic book movie since Morbius (H/T Variety).

The Flash earned $55 million in its opening weekend, then took in just $15.3 million the following week. This is almost as bad as Morbius's 73.8% weekend drop, but definitely brings a new low for DC: Black Adam only had a 59% drop in its second weekend, with Shazam! Fury of the Gods at 69%...


The Flash earns worst box office drop in DC history

Holy shit. A 70+% drop in the second week is catastrophic even for a movie performing well above expectations.

Welp, you have to wonder where DC goes from here. The Flash is a flagship character. This would be like Captain America or Thor bombing for Marvel.

Do they power through as planned or will we just be seeing Batman and Superman reboots over the next decade until they figure out a better plan?

The penguin series looks cool

I feel like James Gunn was going to springboard his universe off the Flashpoint premise of this movie, but now with this movie nosediving, he might just do a hard reboot and say **** everything that's happened before his projects.

I really don’t understand why this is bombing so badly. Is it the greatest super hero movie? Of course not. It’s far from the worst however. Hell IM2 & 3 were worse movies than this. Personally I am a bit fatigued on the time travel and multiverse story lines, I prefer those only occasionally because otherwise it gets pretty ridiculous pretty quick, but aside from that this movie is plenty entertaining. And we got a Keaton Batman storyline as well!

I just don’t get the flop.
