I'd like to complain about the fact it isn't playing right freaking now!

I agree, I hope it is him just visiting friends.

So based on 2.5x to break even, this movie needs $1 billion to break even. This is going to cost Disney hundreds of millions.

Must have went to the Liefield school of art, draw a clenched fist then put a gun on top of it.

Leave it to Kennedy to have a bigger bomb than John Carter was. Who does she have dirt on and how bad is said dirt? How does she still have a job? This isn't her first bomb/underperformer at the helm of Lucasfilm, but this will be the biggest.

We got our ending at the end of Last Crusade, he literally rode off into the sunset. Then we got our ending again in the Crystal Skull (hated that movie) when he and Marion got married and walked out the church together.

So Bree went from headlining the firsts film, to then sharing the second film with two others, to then being pushed off as a side kick. Stars of the movie don't get pushed to the side in the promos.

Wow, so what, 32 days from theatrical release to being able to watch at home.

Universal was the studio that released both the Hulk movies they both lost money and If I was a studio head I wouldn't be hot to release a 3rd Hulk movie (which 15 years later has not happened. Now this could be because of rights issues, I have no idea who can do what with the hulk). Spider-man is Marvel's Batman, he is the most recognizable character in their fleet. Once superhero movies were "the thing" there is no way Sony would let him sit on the shelf. Also if I am not mistaken, while both S3 and ASM2 underperformed from what the studio wanted they both made money. Green Lantern and the Flash did not and will not make money, they did/will end up costing the studio millions upon millions of dollars. Big difference going to head of the company and saying "Hey while this movie didn't make as much as we wanted it did make money we think it is time to reboot Spiderman" as opposed to saying "Hey this movie that cost us $100 million dollars out of pocket that we will never see back, well I think we are ready for a Flash 2". While that is all well and good, it didn't happen because the Studio kept it from happening. They wouldn't even let him put Green Lanten in as a cameo in the ZSJL cut. If the studio was so hot for a Green Lantern project where is it? 12 years plus since the last bomb and nothing. Sure they keep saying "Well this is our plan", but yeah, nothing. I think the Snyderverse was doomed by the studio meddling (please note I am 100% a Snyder fan so my opinion on this is tainted), but no matter if it was studio meddling or maybe his vision was just not the right one it is over, time to move on. I agree with you on Blue Beetle and Aquaman. I think BB will be a bomb and while I think Aquaman will make money (based on budget due to all the reshoots and stuff) the $1.1 billion the first movie made is off the table, I'm thinking $700 to 800$ box office for this one. 100% in full agreement with you here.

While that may very well be true, a bomb is a bomb no matter the reasons. If the studio ends up losing $100+ million on this film (which it will and could end up losing a heck of a lot more), then Flash movies are dead. I mean if this keeps tracking the way it is it will do the same amount domestically as Green Lantern did in 2011 ($116 million domestic on a $200 million budget and this Flash movie has a much bigger budget). Zaslav was quick to shut down other movies and write them off, and well he should have done the same with this. The combination of an extremely troubled/unlikeable lead actor and from what I hear some not so great CGI has killed this movie and this leg of the franchise for at least twenty years.

Yeah, we might see him in a team movie or cameo in someone else's movie but after this turkey I don't think WB will greenlight another stand alone Flash movie. Look at Green Lantern and how much potential is in that character and one bomb put him down for the count.

So more domestically than Shazam 2 but worse than Black Adam. Yikes.

Back in the day if you told me a Barbie movie would potentially make more than a Flash movie I would have said you were crazy, however here we are.

Enough with the multiverse. It really isn't working out well for either studio.

I have to agree, if you are "cleaning house" to rebuild a universe you need to get rid of them all.

Kraven looks like he is trying to pass a brick.

As I noted earlier, I think it was a huge mistake for Gunn to come out and say "This was the greatest Superhero movie ever". As the head of DC Studios how does anyone (movie viewing public) take him or his upcoming movies seriously at this point? I don't. I'm sure his new WB bosses said to him "you gotta say this to try and rescue this turkey", but damn, he should have refused, said something like "I really enjoyed the movie". To me he seems like a clown now.

Ok, am I doing something wrong, or is Disney pulling more trickery with Rotten Tomatoes. When I go there and pull up this show it currently is sitting at 66% for critics and 84% for audiences, however it is not listing how many reviewers have reviewed it, like the site normally does. In fact every other thing I click on has how many people have reviewed it, but not this. And never mind, it is showing the number of reviewers now. Must have just been a glitch on my end.

Took me a second with the "Drax" one. Then it hit me.

Not sure I can get that excited about the "Gunniverse" when he is out there making statements like this: "James Gunn calls the Flash one of the greatest superhero movies ever." If he thinks that "The Flash" is the bar for great superhero movies then I'm ready to write off the next 10 years of DC movies.

That trailer to me was way better than Morbius, which I never saw. If the other trailers that drop are on that same level I'll end up seeing this. I didn't think it looked bad. Maybe not the Kraven I grew up with, but my interest is piqued.

Seeing as how poorly the movie is doing he can say, "Nope wasn't me, they CGI'd my stuff".

Dude, that is going to be like following up a glass of vinegar with a chaser of anti-freeze.
