The Unexpected Downturn of The Flash's Box Office Prospects
In the summer of 2023, the anticipation surrounding The Flash movie seemed sky-high, despite significant hurdles during its development. Initially marred by extensive reshoots, a hefty budget, and the controversial involvement of Ezra Miller, the film nonetheless garnered a surprising wave of positive early buzz. Warner Bros. and DC appeared to bank heavily on nostalgia—cuddling the return of Michael Keaton’s Batman and a plethora of cameos—hoping these elements would propel the superhero film to commercial success.
