The Warner Bros. Pictures, DC Studios film “THE FLASH” is the #1 movie in North America earning $55.1 million over the weekend followed by Elemental, Spiderman, Transformers and the Little Mermaid.
The superhero film grossed about $55 million domestically in its 3 day opening weekend and $139 Million globally considered disappointing with a reported budget of $200-220 million according to Deadline.
“Elemental” also had a weak showing. Disney’s animated film debuted with just $29.5 million domestically, the worst opening weekend in Pixar’s history with the exception of the $29 million debut of the original “Toy Story” in 1995. “Elemental” is the second consecutive Pixar film to bomb at the box office after “Lightyear” tanked in 2022 and Disney’s third consecutive animated failure, as “Strange World” flopped in 2022.
Warner Bros. Pictures presents “The Flash,” directed by Andy Muschietti (the “IT” films, “Mama”). Ezra Miller reprises their role as Barry Allen in the DC Super Hero’s first-ever standalone feature film. Worlds collide in “The Flash” when Barry uses his superpowers to travel back in time in order to change the events of the past. But when his attempt to save his family inadvertently alters the future, Barry becomes trapped in a reality in which General Zod has returned, threatening annihilation, and there are no Super Heroes to turn to. That is, unless Barry can coax a very different Batman out of retirement and rescue an imprisoned Kryptonian… albeit not the one he’s looking for. Ultimately, to save the world that he is in and return to the future that he knows, Barry’s only hope is to race for his life. But will making the ultimate sacrifice be enough to reset the universe?
“The Flash” cast features Sasha Calle, Michael Shannon (“Bullet Train,” “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice”), Ron Livingston (“Loudermilk,” “The Conjuring”), Maribel Verdú (“Elite,” “Y tu mamá también”), Kiersey Clemons (“Zack Snyder’s Justice League,” “Sweetheart”), Antje Traue (“King of Ravens,” “Man of Steel”) and Michael Keaton (“Spider-Man: Homecoming,” “Batman”)
