Grant Gustin"s 10-Year Run In The Arrowverse Proves The Flash Director"s Reason For Why The DC Movie Bombed At The Box Office Totally Wrong

:0:1

After playing The Flash for ten years to great success, Grant Gustin"s time as Barry Allen shows that Andy Muschietti"s arguments to defend The Flash movie"s box office issues are wrong. The DCEU had quite a few movies that underperformed over the last year of the franchise. In 2023, after James Gunn and Peter Safran had already announced the DCU"s Chapter One, the comic book giant released Shazam! Fury of the Gods, The Flash, Blue Beetle, and Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom. None of those films ended up being among the DCEU"s best movies or became a box office hit.
However, The Flash"s performance stood out amid the DCEU movies. Before it was released, the film was praised by multiple top-level people in Hollywood, such as Tom Cruise, James Gunn, and Stephen King. After release, the DC movie was torn apart by fans and critics alike, who pinpointed issues like poor CGI, bizarre multiverse cameos, a convoluted plot, and more. Those issues translated into a historically bad box office run. The Flash movie reportedly had a budget of around $200 million, grossing only $271.4 million worldwide, which led to a huge loss for the studio once marketing was accounted for.
Andy Muschietti Tried To Explain The Flash Movie’s Failure The Director Continues At DC To Take On Batman Close Months away from completing two years since The Flash"s release, director Andy Muschietti has come up with an explanation for why he believes the movie was a box office bomb. Muschietti claims that after private talks, he realized that "a lot of people just don"t care about The Flash as a character." Since Muschietti"s The Flash was the first time that Barry Allen or any other version of DC"s speedster had a solo movie, there was no example of how the project could perform in theaters. The DCEU director also commented on another factor he felt contributed to its failure.
