The Flash box office projections predict a timeline where it fails to even earn back its marketing budget

Whether you’re a DC fan who wished this final outing for the SnyderVerse couldn’t been better or someone who actually loved it, it’s hard to take any pleasure from the way The Flash is tanking hard at the box office — unless you’re General Zod, that is. Every new unwanted record or embarrassing low the movie reaches feels like something being not just kicked when it’s already down but trampled over by a herd of elephants.

Following on from slumping to fourth place in the charts in record time to exhibitors having to dish out buy-out-get-one-free deals in order to shift tickets, The Flash‘s box office projections are paving the way for one wince-inducing wipeout.
