‘The Flash,’ Pixar’s ‘Elemental’ Disappoint in Muted Box Office

The Flash, a Warner Bros Discovery Inc. film based on the super-fast DC Comics hero, topped the box office this weekend with a lower-than-expected $55.1 million in domestic ticket sales.

Researcher Boxoffice Pro had estimated that the picture would generate about $69 million in its initial three days. The Flash faced challenges, including a star, Ezra Miller, accused of harassment and charged with burglary for stealing liquor from a neighbor. Miller pleaded guilty to trespassing in the latter case, according to Deadline.
