Warner Bros. and DC’s latest big-budget release The Flash has suffered a disastrous run at the box office since its premiere on June 16th. To add insult to injury, the film suffered a 72% drop in ticket sales in the following week and is expected to fall well below its production budget by the end of its theatrical run. And to compound matters, the Ezra Miller-led Andy Muschietti film has reportedly leaked online. A Twitter handle uploaded the entire film in HD and received over 1.7 million views before Twitter eventually took down the video. DC’s new era under James Gunn has begun with back-to-back flops, and two more DC films, Blue Beetle and Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, are scheduled to release in 2023.
