'The Flash' Would've Been Less Expensive to Cancel, According to New Report
Warner Bros. and DC Studios have clearly not gotten what they wanted out of The Flash. The film has undoubtedly been a box office bomb, and analysts have reported that The Flash could lose Warner Bros. up to $200 million. On top of this, a new report claims that the studio would've actually lost less money by not releasing the completed film at all.
Box office analyst Luiz Fernando tweeted that The Flash's box office totals are likely to reach a cumulative $280 million to $310 million at the worldwide box office — the film just recently passed the $200 million milestone. However, given that the film had a reported $190 million budget, combined with the fact that studios only keep half of a project's global box office earnings, Fernando noted that Warner Bros.

On its second Monday in theaters, the film brought in just $1.7 million in the U.S., a massive 73% drop from the week prior. This puts the project at an $89.
A potential $200 million loss represents a sizeable blow to Warner Bros. — a company that is looking to restructure its superhero brand into the new DC Universe. Even the critically panned Justice League in 2017 only lost Warner Bros. an estimated $60 million, less than half of what it could drop on The Flash. So the studio is likely looking towards its upcoming releases as a way to try and get fans re-energized about DC characters.
The Flash is in theaters now. Collider's interview with director Andy Muschietti and producer Barbara Muschietti can be seen below:
