While studios during Covid wildly embraced the theatrical day-and-date model when cinemas were closed, they soon realized there’s nothing more profitable than a theatrical release and the downstreams that come with it.

Warner Bros’ DC pic The Flash, despite tumbling down with a $55M start, will remain atop the box office with a $16.5M-$24.7M second-weekend take as the marketplace largely takes a breath sans tentpoles before Disney/Lucasfilm’s Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny arrives for the Independence Day stretch.

Refresh for latest…: Warner Bros/DC’s The Flash sped into 78 overseas markets this weekend, grossing $75M, below the $85M-$95M we saw coming into the frame. With domestic’s slow-crawl three-day included, that makes for a $139M global opening. This is lower than projections, with general audiences not rushing out to see the deeper universe pic. As
There are a lot of lessons to be learned this weekend, but chief among them, is what’s it like for a major motion picture studio to open a movie with largely a number of its cast, primarily its main star, not available to do press. That’s the big looming question which has been on everyone’s
EXCLUSIVE: Warner Bros./DC’s The Flash per box office sources is playing like a deeper universe superhero movie with around $9M in Thursday night previews which began at 3PM.

We’re hearing that Warner Bros. release of Legendary’s Dune is no longer going on Dec. 18, rather Oct. 1, 2021. Right now that’s the same release date as Matt Reeves’ The Batman, so we have to figure Warners moves Batman. The studio hasn’t officially re-dated The Batman yet. Many in distribution land always believed it was too good to be
When The Flash Season 6 got unexpectedly cut short due to the outbreak of COVID-19, we were more than a little worried about how the show would manage to pick things back up in Season 7. Based on what we know so far though, it seems like Barry Allen (Grant Gustin) is ready to hit the ground

It’s hard to imagine how the Arrowverse might top last year’s Crisis on Infinite Earths event, the five-part crossover that brought together not only all of the CW DC superhero shows but also brought in comic nods, DC shows from other networks, and Ezra Miller‘s Barry Allen from the DC film universe.

The Flash Season 6 got thrown for a loop when production shut down due to the outbreak of COVID-19, and ultimately the season was left in limbo. There was hope that production would be able to start back up and we’d get to finish out the season, but we know now that won’t happen, so we’re
The CW is still planning a crossover event for the Arrowverse, but it will be scaled down in light of the production shutdown caused by the coronavirus epidemic. As The CW pushes the premiere of many of the Arrowverse shows to January 2021, the timing will also be moved to allow shows to return to
For months now, we’ve been wondering when the rest of the characters on The Flash were going to realize that the Iris (Candice Patton) they’ve been living with isn’t the real deal. Finally, it looks like Westallen’s recent breakup is going to force Barry (Grant Gustin) into discovering the truth, even if that truth is
If you suffered a mini-heart attack after watching this week’s episode of The Flash, you’re not alone!

The moment we’ve been waiting for all year (and some people have been waiting eight years for) finally arrived in Monday’s episode of this year’s Arrowverse crossover, Crisis on Infinite Earths.
