Alas, ‘The Flash’ starring Ezra Miller, is not the greatest superhero movie ever. Despite the word-of-mouth promotion and James Gunn’s unwavering faith, ‘The Flash’ is looking to be the biggest flop in the history of the studio. The marketing team has thrown its entire weight into talking the film up. But the audience has made their opinion known.
The audience has rejected ‘The Flash’ due to its cheap CGI and problematic leading actor. With every week, the film is losing its audience. According to box office analysts, ‘The Flash’ will not make it far, presenting alarming numbers for the film. Besides, it is unlikely that the film will attract any audience with upcoming films like ‘Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One,’ ‘Oppenheimer,’ and ‘Barbie.’

As reported by The Direct, box office analyst Luiz Fernando, the film is on track to lose more than $200 million. He believes the film might be unable to recover its $150 million.
