Warner Bros finds itself facing a major setback with its latest release, The Flash. Despite being one of the most highly anticipated movies worldwide, the film starring Ezra Miller in the titular role has failed to meet expectations at the box office. Comparisons are now being drawn between The Flash and Dwayne Johnson’s Black Adam, delivering surprising results.
Box Office Comparison
| Film | Production Budget | Global Gross | Domestic Gross |
|---|---|---|---|
| The Flash | $200 million | $245 million | $99 million |
| Black Adam | $190–260 million | $393.25 million | N/A |
Directed by Andy Muschietti and featuring an ensemble cast including Ben Affleck and Michael Keaton as Batman, Sasha Calle as Supergirl, and Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman, The Flash promised to be a commercial success. Boasting positive reviews from critics, the film, unfortunately, struggled to attract audiences to theaters.
Regrettably, the dismal box office performance of The Flash continues to worsen, leaving little hope for a turnaround. As the movie loses screens rapidly each day, recent reports suggest that it may not even surpass the box office numbers of Dwayne Johnson’s Black Adam. Here’s what you need to know about this situation.
With a production budget of approximately $200 million, The Flash has only managed to gross $245 million globally in two weeks, falling significantly short of the $100 million mark domestically. As of the latest update, the movie has earned a mere $99 million in the domestic market. Industry reports are already branding it as Warner Bros’ worst box office failure to date. Surprisingly, new reports from Fandom Wire indicate that The Flash might even fall behind Black Adam, which is considered the weakest performer in terms of box office collections.
It’s worth noting that Dwayne Johnson’s Black Adam also garnered immense hype but was met with negative reviews from critics and audiences alike. However, the movie still managed to accumulate $393.25 million (according to Mojo), surpassing The Flash by nearly $150 million. These figures suggest that The Flash may not even come close to the success of The Rock’s film.
In a twist of fate, Dwayne Johnson’s portrayal of Black Adam has been shelved by James Gunn and Peter Safran as part of their revamped DC Universe. On the other hand, there are indications that Ezra Miller could reprise his role as The Flash, as mentioned by Andy Muschietti. Stay tuned to Koimoi for further updates.
