Lol they probably would've lost less taking the write-off.
With this the third DC film to flop
You also have to wonder if they talked about the universe reboot too early as well
He is and isn'tJames Gunn hired the flash director to do their new movie ( batman I think?) That's gonna be tricky. He might be a great director, their batman movie might be the best. But this flash flop will make people think twice,
It's difficult to say. It's easy to say that Ezra's career might probably be fully over. Who knows what's gonna happen to everything else.
James Gunn is in a difficult position. Very difficult.
He is and isn't
I know its easy to say but from Spiderman success and GOTG3....if you want people to see your films they can't suck
Comic fans were fine with Thor 2 and mixed reviews of the sequel Ironman films because these are the first time seeing these characters on screen.....DC needs to tell stories people care about and not fall into the MCU phase 4 thing of just being set up for later
If your films now suck, then most likley so will the team ups
So I hope they just have good stories to tell and think DC will be fine.
As for this film, I feel bad for the crew but happy most people skipped this film because of how WB treated Ezra, if they even came out and said they would never work with Ezra again....I might have seen it but nope they refused to and so I'm just waiting to watch this film at home
It was a fun enough movie, especially when you go in with zero expectations.
Despite Flash being my favorite superhero and obsessing over Batman in '89 (like every other kid), I did just that. And it was a lot of fun.
I wouldn't have made the sequel to the Keaton movies an action comedy, but I have to admit the comedy half worked great. Solely because of Ezra Miller -- real world issues aside, tremendously talented in a dual role. The action side had a few cool moments but was marred by horrible CGI and a nonsensical plot (should've stuck with original Flashpoint and had Negan as Thomas Wayne instead of making up the most convoluted time travel theory ever).
Also...
While I fanboyed out over Cage's Superman fighting a giant robot spider, all the Crisis-esque cameos at the end felt like a waste of time and special effects budget. At this point, how much of the audience under 45 recognized any of them?
The whole thing reeks of death by studio notes, but Miller's performance made it worth watching.
It's kinda insane that a 10 year old Flash show....didn't really get love but in Spiderman they brought back The Spectacular Spider-ManI'm angry that they ignored the tv characters like tv flash
It's honestly crazy how quick this movie fell off. For example, The Flash opened with $55M and on the same weekend, Elemental opened with $29M (a large difference of $26M). Three weeks later, Elemental has made $109M domestic and The Flash has made $105M. Worldwide, Elemental will pass The Flash soon as well with The Flash sitting at $261M and Elemental at $254M.
Part of that is simply Elemental holding impressively, but it's also almost everyone who wanted to see The Flash came out right away. No one else really cared or was actively boycotting the film.

Not just the third. It's the sixth DCEU film in a row - Birds of Prey, WW84, The Suicide Squad (at least TSS was positively received), Black Adam, Shazam 2, and The Flash. There's a reason they announced the reboot. Their films have been box office disasters for years now and meanwhile mid-MCU films are still getting to $750M-$800M minimum pretty much every film since NWH with the exception of Quantumania.Elemental also from many GA good reviews/word of mouth
Flash was over hyped as the best super hero film since dark knight but was never going to be that good
I think DC problem is they announced a reboot and now no one cares about any films after that was announced
The Ezra situation did hurt word of mouth a little bit think it’s beyond them, this is the third DC film to fail hard
True, and those films all have a different reasons on why they failed but mostly because those films were just meh and pandemic stuff.Not just the third.

They didn't announce a reboot until AFTER Black Adam, so really you can only blame the reboot on two films. Here's the thing though - The Flash has done better Worldwide AND Domestic than Birds of Prey, WW84, TSS, and Shazam 2. Black Adam didn't do much better last year.
Internationally The Meg is huge apparently. It’s earned $256M worldwide in its first 10 days. The Flash made $268M in its run.And what’s truly astonishing is that I don’t think I’ve seen a single piece of marketing for The Meg 2 and didn’t even know it was out.
