Box office number is dropping to No. 3 ...


... on the 6th day, that is bleak. In any case losing to Elemental (also on 6th day) is embarrassing.

It's legs look weaker than Black Adam, this really looks like going to be one of the major losses for DC.

Unless someone goes back into time and changes something, it is toast.

I imagine this might weaken their resolve to stand by Ezra Miller.

Sad that money should enter into the decision whether to support a member of a vulnerable community like them.

reply

There should still be corporate protection for him during the theater run and before international TV and streaming deals are finalized. With marketing budget of DC & Warner Bros a lot of mainstream media are going to shut up about him, or at least downplay his controversies.

But after that I think he is on his own, there is no way he is going to be the Flash again, even if he is going to have a Hollywood career after this is questionable.

reply

Disney does Marvel movies.

DC is Warner Bros. I believe.

reply

Sorry, my bad. I've got this confused, fixed now. Then again the corporate protection would be the same, but much less of course.

reply

Superhero movies are starting to fatigue. People also go to see them because of the villain and they really didn't showcase one in the trailers.

reply

I don't think it is about superhero movie fatigue. The new batman movie did OK, the spiderman animation is still pulling big numbers right now.

reply

Especially bad since its pathetic "competition" in theaters consists of OTHER turd films (God Is a Bullet, Transformers: part VII, The Fast and the Furious: Part 10, The Little Mermaid remake) that anyone with GOOD taste in films will ALSO avoid like the plague.


Michael Keaton returning as Batman for the first time in 30 years should CRUSH that kind of "competition", but... nope... Ezra Miller found a way to sabotage this movie BIG TIME!

reply

They picked the time slot, probably thinking the only serious competition would be Indiana Jones, but that is about 2 weeks later, it should have made enough momentum to keep it going.

Now it is beaten by Spider-Verse animation, which has been going for 3 weeks.

reply

Likely #4 behind No Hard Feelings! Will know later today.

spider-verse & elemental $18m
NHF $14-15m
flash $14m

reply

You called it, now it is No.4, No Hard Feelings is now No.1, even it opened at just over 6 million, which is typical of a Jennifer Lawrence vehicle, no wonder she needed a break.

On the eighth day The Flash's number is 4.5 million, almost half of Black Adam's 8 million. If it continues like that the domestic box office of The Flash is unlikely to break 100 million, which is less the marvel multiverse movie Avengers: Endgame on the opening day (157 million).

I remember when the Ezra Miller apologists were gloating about The Trash getting a "95% positive audience score" on RT its opening weekend.

How's that working out for them?
