THE FLASH Film To Be Removed From Several Movie Theaters

DC's The Flash film has already been regarded as Warner Bros. biggest financial flop of all time, but now, several movie theaters are taking their own actions with the film moving forward.

Being one of the most highly-anticipated DC projects of 2023, alongside Blue Beetle, and Aquaman: The Lost Kingdom, The Flash, starring Ezra Miller, then dubbed by new DC co-CEO James Gunn, as "probably one of the greatest superhero movies ever made", was a quick and utter financial disappointment in the box office, now having barely surpassed the entirety of the films production budget, set to lose Warner Bros. over 200 million dollars.

Inspired by the popular Flashpoint storyline from the pages of the comics, this adaptation does not seem like it will be enough to save The Flash from its current financial demise. 

James Gunn's words quickly came back to bite him, for several movie theaters, over 1500, are now struggling to bring in crowds of people to watch the film, so they are ultimately deciding to choose to remove The Flash as a whole from their continous schedulings, in order to make room for more recent, profitable blockbusters.

About The Flash:

Worlds collide when The Flash uses his superpowers to travel back in time to change the events of the past. However, when his attempt to save his family inadvertently alters the future, he becomes trapped in a reality in which General Zod has returned, threatening annihilation. With no other superheroes to turn to, The Flash looks to coax a very different Batman out of retirement and rescue an imprisoned Kryptonian -- albeit not the one he's looking for.

WB's current market cap is 29.45 billion.

Holy damn. By comparison:

Comcast- $169.17 billion
Disney- $161.70 billion
Sony- $120.10 billion

They're only ahead of Paramount's $10.23 billion. Won't be surprised if another acquisition happens in the next few years.

@CoHost - WB needs to sell DC to Comcast. They would do a better job.

@CoHost - Hard to compare when Sony isn't just television and movies, no? PlayStation makes a lot of that money.

@CoHost - Comcast gonna buy them. I remember rumors swirling around September last year. That's the plan in 2024.

@TheShellyMan - Impossible. That'd be a horizontal merger. Department of Justice would shut that down.

@CoHost - @TheShellyMan CoHost is correct. The major movie studios would be prohibited from buying WB's. Now the DC IP imo could be sold but who in the hell has the money ? Forget banks. That leaves the next level of studios. Apple, Netflix, Sony, and Amazon. Netflix is definitekly too poor and Sony is tied up with the MCU. The other two give regulators the heebie jeebies. That suggests a foreign buyer or maaaaybe the two money pits if the FTC sees no other path.

One other possibility. WB declares going out of business. FTC at that point is out of it permanently and the majors can buy the pieces.
