The Flash earns worst box office drop in DC history
The Flash has set a new record for DC – though it's not a great one.
The film suffered a 73% drop in its second weekend, making it the worst-ever second-weekend drop for a DC film and the worst second-weekend drop for a comic book movie since Morbius (H/T Variety).
