Part 4/9:
Blue Beetle officially hit theaters on August 18th, amidst modest expectations. Unlike blockbuster hits, the film only managed to gross approximately $120 million worldwide. This makes it the worst-performing film in the DC Extended Universe (DCEU) history—surpassing previous lows set by Shazam! Fury of the Gods, Wonder Woman 1984, Birds of Prey, and The Suicide Squad.
