The Flash's Box Office Struggles Raise Concerns for Summer Releases.
The Flash and Elemental had disappointing box office openings, potentially due to a crowded release schedule and lackluster critical reactions. The Flash earned $55.1 million domestically and $64 million over the four-day Juneteenth holiday weekend, while Elemental earned just $29.5 million domestically. Wes Anderson’s Asteroid City had an impressive performance in limited release. The crowded release schedule suggests that Hollywood could benefit from spacing out these releases to provide more breathing room for each film.
