DC Studios' 'The Flash' First Box Office Projection Revealed
Los Angeles, May 20 - The DC Studios' biggest bet this year, The Flash is getting ready to release this June. It is the first solo movie for DC's iconic superhero characters on the big screen, which will bring Michael Keaton's Batman along with a few other key heroes and villains.



DC has been all over for the last few years and finding it difficult to win over the hearts of the audiences. "The Flash" too has been in the hot water because of Ezra Miller's controversial past. So, there is a common question about whether the movie will succeed or will meet the same fate as the previous couple of DC movies.



Directed by Andy Muschietti, "The Flash" involves a solid star power, and given the high cost, Warner Bros. will be hoping and praying for its success. The best thing that has happened with the movie so far is that it is carrying immensely positive talks as the people who have watched it are calling it one of the best superhero movies ever made, and one of them includes Tom Cruise.

The first box office projection for "The Flash", revealed by Box Office Pro is definitely painting a highly positive picture. The website estimated a domestic opening weekend of the movie somewhere between $115 million and $140 million with a domestic (North America) total projection of $280 million to $375 million.



Should "The Flash" open the high end of that mark, it would be the 4th biggest opening for a DC movie and the second biggest in the DC Extended Universe (DCEU) of all time. Even if it opens to the lower mark, it would be either on the 3rd or the 4th positive in DCEU.



DCEU's top opening weekends can be seen below (as per Box Office Mojo) -



1. Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016) - $166 million


2. Suicide Squad (2016) - $133.7 million


3. Man of Steel (2013) - $116.6 million


4. Wonder Woman (2017) - $103.3 million


5. Justice League (2017) - $93.8 million



It would be interesting to see where the movie actually lands in its domestic opening weekend because "The Flash" is having strong pros and cons, which could push its box office return drastically either way. All the questions will be answered when the movie will debut on the big screen on June 16. In India, it will release on June 15 in English, Hindi, Telugu, and Tamil languages.
