It gets worse.

One scene has Barry save a falling baby by putting it in a microwave. In addition, Keaton!Batman makes a Johnson joke with measuring tape and Alternate!Flash vomits at one point.

Who's giving this movie positive reviews?

Snyder has his crew, Gunn has his I guess.

The Flash got $9.7 million in Thursday previews, including fan screenings.

For comparison, Guardians Vol. 3, Across the Spider-Verse and Quantumania all grossed around $17 million in previews.

Only Shazam II grossed lower than Flash at $3.4 million.

Sucks Elemental is also flopping but I'll tolerate that as long as Flash goes down with it.

The Flash was horrible.

Never liked Ezra Miller anyway, but the way the movie was done was just bad.
Crap CGI, bad writing, and mediocre action scenes didn't do anything for the DCU 🤦‍♂️

A b is still great for a DC film IMO theyve all been so terrible. But Also Ezra Miller is terrible and I wont be seeing this in theaters because I dont support people like him

A B is the same score as Batman v. Superman. This movie is toast.

I expect the Flash will be off-limits for DC movies like Green Lantern for the foreseeable future.

Actually... I kinda liked The Flash (even with my own anti-Ezra prejudice). I guess I have a low bar when it comes to genre films.

Tho, Black Adam was truly awful. And Shazam wasn't good... but not as awful.

LOL, this is tracking below Black Adam? Isn't this supposed to be the jump point for Gunn?
Black Adam, Shazam, Flash, and Aquaman2 were all in production when Gunn took over.

Gunn allowed the Flashpoint story of The Flash to be the reason to explain the reset of the DCEU to the DCU.

So, in a way, it is Gunn's in-universe turning point. But, it's not his new content of the new DCU.

Superman Legacy will be the first film of the Gunniverse.

That assumes Gunn will get the chance to make that movie. He will absolutely be scapegoated for The Flash's failure even if he had little to do with it. That he's on record hyping up the movie as one of the best doesn't help him.

The Flash looks to open at $130.1 million globally.

Black Adam opened at $140 million globally, and that considered was a flop.

The Flash is projected to finish its worldwide run at under $350 million.

$300 million loss likely. Would make it one of the biggest bombs in history.

Well, it's at $139M now according to Box Office Mojo. Budget at $210M according to Wiki.

Using the 'rule of thumb," it's currently at a $246M loss.

A CinemaScore of B usually means it will make 3.1 times opening weekend, which would be $417 total BO.

Plug in the formula, that would be at loss off $107M in the end.
