Mumbai, June 18 - Warner Bros. and DC Studios superhero flick
The Flash couldn't generate speed at the box office as it scored a low opening weekend worldwide, extending the DC Extended Universe's woes.
Warner Bros. left no stone unturned to hype up "The Flash" as one of the greatest superhero movies of all time but the movie failed to live up to those sky-high expectations. It grossed just $55 million over a 3-day opening weekend domestically (North America).
"The Flash" opened lower than Dwayne Johnson's "Black Adam" ($67 million) late last year, making it one of the worst openings for a DCEU movie. It even opened below studios' already conservative $70M-$75M 3-day expectations.
At the international box office, "The Flash" scored $75 million over 68 markets for a $130 million global start. China was the biggest overseas market for the film with $13.8 million, followed by Mexico and the UK with $9.4 million and $5.3 million, respectively.
Meanwhile, in India, the Ezra Miller-fronted flick grossed around 20.50 crores ($2.5 million) over a 4-day opening weekend in all languages. It couldn't do much due to the Indian biggie "Adipurush" which has a mammoth weekend box office in India.
