The Flash tracks an estimate for its opening
After creating hype among the fans, and facing certain controversies, The Flash is finally close to its theatrical release. The film seems to start at a steady pace, as its overseas earnings are expected between $155M-$165M which is comparatively more than its domestic earnings. The new co-CEO of DC, James Gunn, has shown his faith in the film. Referring to the movie, he said,
“It’s probably one of the greatest superhero movies ever made.”
It was reported that the film has the potential to revive the DC universe. The film stars Ezra Miller in the lead role, and the fact that Miller is cast as the lead protagonist despite their legal troubles bothered many fans. Moreover, the film’s release date clashes with some major superhero movies, amongst which a few are Transformers: Rise of the Beasts and Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse.
The Flash is expected to make a good start by earning $70M-$75M in its domestic opening. Sources have claimed that the projected initial performance of the film can be said to be praiseworthy. Some internet users also have their own opinions on the initial performance of the film. Check out the tweets below:

That's not great. I hope that the tracking is wrong because 165 will be good for a domestic opening not so much globally
