DC and Warner Bros.' long-in-the-works superhero movie "The Flash" opened to US$55 million in its first three days in North American theatres, according to studio estimates on Sunday.
"The Flash" faced more complications than marketplace conditions. It has been in the headlines often over the past year, not because of the movie itself but because of its star Ezra Miller's off-screen troubles, including arrests, erratic behaviour and accusations of misconduct. Miller has apologized and said they are seeking mental health treatment. They also bowed out of participating in the normal publicity circuit, except for the premiere.
Critics were mixed but more positive than not, with a 67 per cent on Rotten Tomatoes. AP's Jocelyn Noveck wrote in her review that despite some "breezily clever and entertaining" moments, "the final act bogs down in what feels like an endless, generic CGI battle and a kitchen-sink resolution." "Elemental" was greeted positively by critics, with a 76 per cent on Rotten Tomatoes, and audiences . AP's Jake Coyle wrote that it's "probably in the lower half" of the Pixar cannon but "sincere and clever, with a splash of dazzle," it, "comes closer to rekindling some of the old Pixar magic than some recent entries. " Including $15 million from 17 international territories, "Elemental" launched to $44.5 million globally.
