Box Office: “The Flash” Finds Little Traction with $55 Mil Three Day Weekend, Aiming for $64 Mil Outing

Share

“The Flash” had a tough good weekend.

Total for three days (plus previews) is $55 million, which is lower than the hoped for $60 million.

With tomorrow, the four day weekend will be over $64 million. The $100 million mark is not coming any time soon..

Andy Muschietti’s comic book action film is fun and funny. There are lots of Easter eggs. By now you know George Clooney makes a cameo, and there are plenty of other cool clips and references to older DC Comics movie and TV stars. Warner Bros. says the audience is skewing older. But people of all ages will dig it. For someone as ancient as myself, the nods are a pleasure. Younger people will certainly like Ezra Miller and Sasha Calle.

Whatever happens next for the DC Comics universe, this chapter ends on a high note. Since tomorrow is a holiday, go see “The Flash’ and get a big bucket of popcorn!
