After months of hype and behind-the-scenes controversy, Warner Bros. is finally set to release its big DC summer blockbuster “The Flash,” which box office tracking predicts won’t reach the heights of recent superhero hits like “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3” or “Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse” but has a shot to do better than recent DC flops like “Black Adam” and “Shazam! Fury of the Gods.”
Projections for “The Flash” have ranged widely. Some rival distributors predict a start as low as $65 million while some independent trackers are putting it as high as $85 million, though most tracking is settling in the range of $70 million-$75 million.
