Rotten Tomatoes.Both of those audience metrics are below what was received for “Black Adam,” a DC film that opened to $67 million domestic and $140 million worldwide last fall and which “The Flash” had long been expected to top. “Black Adam” grossed just $393 million against a $200 million budget before marketing costs, and it is now likely that “Flash” will fall below that total from a similar if not higher budget.
So instead of allowing DC and Warner to get a much needed rebound after the struggles of “Black Adam” and “Shazam!: Fury of the Gods,” “The Flash” will join those films on the list of recent DC films that show that the superhero franchise is being rejected by a significant portion of audiences, with last year’s “The Batman” being the exception.
Such a result casts a dark shadow over the other DC films — “Blue Beetle” and “Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom” — that are still set to drop this year, while showing just how much work new DC Studios heads James Gunn and Peter Safran have to do to restore audience goodwill.
While the struggles of “The Flash” are somewhat of a surprise, the anemic performance of “Elemental” was expected for weeks as this $29 million opening is the worst in Pixar history after inflation adjustment.
