For someone who's called "The Fastest Man" alive, The Flash will have a relatively short theatrical run. Although that's what happens when you flop hard at the global box office.
After posting paltry figures in its premiere, The Flash is set to end its theatrical run early and will be available on digital platforms in mid-July. The movie that was praised by industry insiders as one of the best comic book movies has screeched to a halt. The film is set to be one of DC's worst box office bombs with the movie earning just $212 million after its second weekend.
Ticket sales have been extremely low for what will likely be Ezra Miller's only solo movie as the Scarlet Speedster. Box office revenue dropped 73% in the comic book movie's second weekend and industry experts estimate that the film will likely reach $280 million to $300 million at the end of its theatrical run.
The Flash was originally set to arrive on digital platforms sometime in September. Having a digital release one month after its theatrical debut means that Warner Bros Discovery and DC Studios are waving the white flag and admitting defeat.
