The Big Picture Blue Beetle, one of the concluding movies of the DCEU, kicked off with a lackluster start at the box office earning a $25 million in its opening weekend. However, due to the favorable critical reception it received, there was that Jaime Reyes' adventure could somehow manage to renew audience interest in the franchise.
Blue Beetle began its theatrical run on August 18 and after a span of approximately two months in theaters, the film has ended its run with a total worldwide gross of $128.6 million against a budget of $104 million. Out of this total, $71.2 million was generated from the United States and Canada, while $56.8 million came from international markets.
Blue Beetle's lackluster box office showing continues a worrying trend for DC and by extension, concerns for James Gunn and Peter Safran's upcoming DCU which seeks to revamp the franchise. The impact of these performances on the upcoming release of Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom which marks the final chapter of the DCEU, remains uncertain.
Jaime Reyes' Story Will Continue In The DCU Blue Beetle centers on Jaime Reyes, a recent college graduate who's seeking a job to help out his struggling family. His quest to solve his family's financial troubles sets him on adventure where he's ultimately chosen as the host of the Scarab, an ancient alien biotechnological relic that transforms him into a superhero.
Blue Beetle is now available to purchase on digital, and will be made available on 4K UHD, Blu-ray, and DVD on October 31.
