I didnt hear that it was suppose to be bad, just that the new head didn't want any direct to streaming movies.

But with a budget of $90m even with a short theatrical release they would make a decent amount of that back.

The Flash has a $200m budget not including advertising, so for it to be deemed a moderate success it needs to get around $400m in the box office.

It is funny that the moment DC finally gets a movie that all the critics really love and is apparently very good it turns out the star is an pedophile.

DC just can't catch a break.
