Box Office: “The Flash” Falls to Number 3 Behind “SpiderVerse” and the Not So Popular “Elemental”

Share

Mid week was not good for “The Flash.” Already suffering the slings and arrows of mad fanboys and Twitter stompers, Barry Allen and pals finished at number 3 on Wednesday.

Not good: “The Flash” fell behind “Spider Man: Across the Spider Verse,” which had already racked up $300 million in 3 weeks, and PIxar’s dud cartoon, “Elemental.”

Losing to these two releases is so insulting for “The Flash.” He doesn’t deserve it. But if this repeats tonight– Thursday — “The Flash” won’t have a second week at number 1. It’s a real mess for Warner’s and DC comics. But what could it lose to this weekend? “No Hard Feelings”? “Asteroid City”? Or more “Spider Man”?
