Part 2/10:

The Flash

• Domestic gross: Approximately $61.2 million after four days.

• Initial expectations: Over $70 million in the first three days.

• Analysis: Front-loaded, with a steep decline after opening weekend.

• International: Roughly $73 million, heavily reliant on China’s $13.7 million contribution—a market known for lower returns for U.S. studios.

Despite Warner Bros. and DC touting The Flash as a major event, audience reactions suggest a different story. The film's poor critical reception and negative exit polls point toward waning interest, and its performance has been marred by pre-release controversies surrounding star Ezra Miller.

Elemental

• Domestic gross: Estimated at $34–36 million (including a modest $6 million on the Monday holiday).
