Idk. I'm really not panicking. The film isn't out for another three weeks and Deadline's $70M opening report tells me there's still time to increase the opening weekend through promo.

Will def be shocking if this opens under $100M. Tells me Joker was a cultural zeitgeist moment that has come and passed. I'm curious to see what sales are like in a week from now. It's only been 10 hours. Thursday showtimes at the Cinemark near me seem to be filling up fast. I'm curious if this has more walkup biz opening weekend since the film is targeting a different demographic than the first film. With it being a musical, we may not get the same data that the first Joker had in its pre-sale tickets.

Thank god for the holiday weekend, because apparently Flash is only making $64M in three days, but it’ll technically be $72M because Monday is Juneteenth. This is embarrassing, and that’s coming from someone that liked the film. It doesn’t look great for Blue Beetle and Aquaman 2.

It’s disappointing to see this and Flash kind of running out of gas. I thought both would be easy $100M openers. Nostalgia doesn’t always work I guess.

Yah... I'm getting WW84 vibes with how many negative reviews are coming out in the last 12 hours. This is getting the same kind of fine critical reaction as Aquaman and Thor 4... but likely without the box office results... :x

Score probably isn't going to change much now with 200 reviews on RT. It's been bouncing between 68 and 70% over the last 24 hours. I still find it hilarious that the studio touted this as the greatest superhero film in years and it ends up getting reviews similar to Aquaman/The Incredible Hulk/The Wolverine/Iron Man 2. Lol.

Even *if* Flash has great walk-in business and climbs into the $80M range, that's still not great. This film needs great WOM and good legs or this thing is DOA. Curious to see films hold up in the next few weeks given how ridiculously cramped June's releases are.

Box Office Pro has this now opening anywhere from $60-80M this weekend. Not good numbers at all. Yeesh.

Let's hope it has some appeal and walk-in business is very good this weekend because these tracking numbers are horrific. I understand the DC brand is not in a great place right now, but the fact that a DC movie featuring cameos from Justice League members, several Batman actors, Flash and Supergirl is going to open half as big as a solo Batman film with a three-hour runtime is insane. And it's not like the film is getting awful reviews either. It's been going between 70-73 this week on Rotten Tomatoes, currently at 72% with 150 reviews. James Gunn has a lot of good faith to win back from audiences if this film can't even gross the $500M worldwide gross mark.

Variety says tracking is still looking like $70M, with some industry analysts claiming it really well could climb to $85M. No matter which way you spin it, opening to under $100M is disappointing. Opening to under $90M is just BAD. Ezra’s time is almost up. No way Gunn keeps them after this. He is so obviously going to cast a whole new crew of actors for the Justice League.

Horrible if all that comes to fruition. The Flash and Indy should be films easily opening around the $100M range. Nostalgia for Indy has crapped out and DC’s brand power is in the trash can if this happens.

Curious what critics at tonight's premiere and later throughout the week think. I think the film is leaning positive so far, but we all know things can change at the drop of a hat (WW84). Anyway, there's still a bunch of positive reviews that have yet to be published.

I say this opens to $80-85M. Not great, not awful. It HAS to have strong legs or this is going to be a massive loss for WB. If that happens, so much will be riding on Superman Legacy.

It's actually a good sign that Transformers came in above expectations. The same could happen with The Flash. If Transformers was predicted to open with $46M via Box Office Pro and opened to $60M, I could see TF going from $72M to more around the $85-90M range. Gonna be super interesting next weekend...

Positive reviews from NME, Screen Daily, Metro, CNN, JOBLO and Cinemablend have yet to be added to the RT page. This will definitely go up and down I think.
