Part 2/10:
The Flash has become one of the most significant box office flops in recent memory, earning the label of an "unmitigated disaster" by mainstream outlets—an unusual occurrence for a superhero film. Unlike past disappointments that were initially spun as successes, the transparency here is striking. The movie’s opening weekend failed to meet expectations dramatically, grossing only around $55 million domestically, with worldwide numbers reaching approximately $135 million. Such figures are drastically lower than industry projections, which estimated a minimum of $120 million just in the U.S. alone.
