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”?
