THE FLASH Drops 14% For $5.3M Tuesday; Should Hit $75M After First Full Week In Theaters

We recently learned that The Flash had an even worse opening weekend than initial reports suggested, and while the movie continues to struggle as it heads into its fifth day in theaters, it didn't suffer as significant a Mon-Tues drop as many expected.

According to the latest box office updates, the Scarlet Speedster's first big-screen outing took in $5.3 million on Tuesday, which marks a 14% drop from Monday. Its domestic total currently sits at $66.5 million, which means it should hit around $74M-$75M after a full week on release.

A sign that things may not be quite as bleak for the divisive superhero adventure as we first thought? Not necessarily. The holiday likely played a part in audience attendance this week, but we'll see if ticket sales hold up as we head towards the weekend.

Taking budget and marketing costs into account, analysts believe that The Flash could end up being a massive financial loss for Warner Bros./DC Studios, so don't be surprised if the film starts running on fumes very soon.

Have you been to see The Flash yet? If so, what did you think? Let us know in the comments down below.

"Directed by Andy Muschietti, The Flash features Barry Allen traveling back in time in order to change events of the past. But when his attempt to save his family inadvertently alters the future, Barry becomes trapped in a reality in which General Zod has returned, threatening annihilation, and there are no Super Heroes to help. That is, unless Barry can coax a very different Batman out of retirement and rescue an imprisoned Kryptonian…albeit not the one he’s looking for.

Ultimately, to save the world that he is in and return to the future that he knows, Barry’s only hope is to race for his life. But will making the ultimate sacrifice be enough to reset the universe?"

The Flash is produced by Barbara Muschietti and Michael Disco, with a screenplay by Christina Hodson, and a screen story by John Francis Daley & Jonathan Goldstein and Joby Harold, based on characters from DC. Warner Bros. Pictures presents a Double Dream/a Disco Factory production of an Andy Muschietti film.

Don't worry we still have Marvel Studios to entertain us. Thor: Love and Thunder (2022) still making hits.

Thor: Love and Thunder (2022)

DOMESTIC = $343,256,830
INTERNATIONAL = $417,671,251

WORLDWIDE = $760,928,081
