Part 3/8:
This means Blue Beetle is debuting at roughly one-third of The Flash's preview figure. While The Flash suffered from a lackluster opening weekend of around $55 million, Blue Beetle’s preview number implies it might struggle to surpass a total that is comparable to—or worse than—that. Analysts warn that such numbers could forecast a disastrous box office performance, especially if the film does not see rapid improvement during opening days.
