While James Gunn’s The Flash Took 42 Days to Show 21% Profit, Australian Horror Movie Made 2.2X Times its Budget in Just a Day
James Gunn had high expectations from Ezra Miller starrer The Flash film. Even before its release, Gunn had already labeled it as the most promising superhero film of the year. But it seems that fans were in total disagreement with Gunn as the movie has poorly flopped on the box office as well as among the audiences.
After weeks of theatrical run, the film barely recovered its costs and ended up causing great dissatisfaction among the makers and viewers. While a recent Aussie horror release is grabbing the eyes of the fans due to its amazing and fresh plot and incredible response.

After being in theatres for nearly 44 days/ 6 weeks the film barely covered its costs. Made against a high budget of $220 million, James Gunn‘s favorite superhero movie of the year, after immense struggle made a worldwide total earning of $268 million.
On the other hand, we have big surprises in small packages, as recently as Australian horror film, Talk to Me directed by twin siblings Danny and Michael Philippou has created a buzz in the film industry. The directorial debut of the duo was made using a budget of $4.5 million and has had a staggering opening with $10 million domestically.
