Father’s Day/Juneteenth Weekend Thread | Flash implodes with 55M, Elemental bombs with 29M, holdovers hold atrociously | Theaters are dead, streaming is dead. Everything is dead really.

Quantumania is looking like a success compared to The Flash. $54-58 OW. B Cinemascore. Sixth bomb in a row for the DCEU. Gunn and WBD spreading lies to artificially hype up a bad film. What a mess. But it’s well deserved after the absolute abomination they did with Josstice League.

“Spreading lies” - Jesus. Producers and distributor promote film. More on this abhorrent act up next.

Can't believe there's a genuine chance this movie might not even hit 300 jesus

It was not gonna be big at the box Office. And Guardians ended up grossing more. Marvel again more Box Office.

So...
Let's say around 55 million opening weekend domestic.
75 million overseas.

55 x 2.3 legs= 126 million.
75 x 2.5 legs (trying to account for Asia really liking the film for some reason) = 187 million.

313 worldwide.

Jesus christ.

 

Thought TLM OS was already pretty bad, but Flash looks like it's going lower even with more support from China (not great either but at least not abysmal like TLM). And Flash won't even have good domestic numbers like TLM to fall back on. It rightfully deserves to be called a major bomb.

If so, he sold himself cheap.  Should have bargained for 1-2 weeks more of IMAX.  

Opoenheimer Is Universal not WB.

I suppose I'll resume at page 40 in the morning.

This is not how u promote a film. As I said back in the day it was a desperate move because they knew the film was, indeed, a mess.

lol what’s all this 4 day in the Deadline article, it’s not recognised as a box office holiday weekend is it? 

Juneteenth, which was recently turned into a federal holiday, lands on Monday.

B+ for aThe Blackening. Could see this film having legs with how good the reviews are.

B+ is solid for this I'd say. Horror seems to tap out at B+ anyways.

Please, please, please, comicbook gods let Blue Beetle be a success! He’s my favorite DC character and I, as a DC fan, cannot handle a failure lol 

 

On a side note has there ever been a franchise with 6 bombs/flops in a row? Because that’s the DCEU rn 

[titanic2187]

One observation from me. Despite being a lot more successful and celebratory, DC dark brand is never as adored or talked about by DC fans, as compared to DCEU brand. I wonder if less of the fan service approach by DC dark dent passion among DC fans.

The page count on this thread has some serious legs. It’ll be at 100 pages by the end of tomorrow I bet.

 

I hope to see some quality reverse flash memes soon. Btw why isn’t he the villain of this movie? He’s a great villain

To be fair Batman Returns is absolutely beloved today, much more than Batman 1989. Especially Catwoman. 

Absolutely agree. I had Michelle Pfeiffer’s Catwoman poster for this film up on my wall when I was wee. Iconic.

Not sure I’d go that far. BR has its cult but most people who like one like the other. The production designs of both are phenomenal.

Gunn probably now begging Matt Reeves to combined his Batverse into the DCU. Geez, what a disaster lol

He's probably thinking of what's the earliest he can publically kick Muschietti out without it looking too embarrassing.

With the Tom Cruise thing, I still gotta be honest and wonder the veracity of it. It's so...so weird. Not to mention all the really random celebrity endorsements for Flash. Like Stephen King? Jaiden Smith? It definitely smells like a studio paying people off.

I thought paying people off for good reviews was a Marvel thing?

[IronJimbo & Sheldon's Son]

What's the chances that Spidey and Elemental could pick up a few PLFs from The Flash as early as next weekend? This dumpster fire is tracking for a second weekend drop for the ages.
