” continues to stumble at the box office, collecting $26.6 million from 78 international territories over the weekend and bringing its overseas tally to just $123.3 million.
The Warner Bros. comic book movie, starring Ezra Miller as the eponymous, timeline-spanning speedster, has grossed $210.9 million globally, including a lousy $87 million at the domestic box office. It’s far less than what a film of its size and scope — it cost $200 million to make and another $100 million to market — needs to break even in its theatrical run. China is leading the foreign territories with a lackluster $23.6 million followed by Mexico with $14.
Word-of-mouth isn’t helping “The Flash,” which is suffering in part because it’s considered a leftover from a soon-to-be defunct comic book universe. DC’s new leaders James Gunn and Peter Safran plan to retool the interconnected world of Justice League members, and as a result, movie fans can’t seem to care about the mega-budgeted superhero tentpoles that are hanging in the balance.
With another $65.5 million at the domestic box office, “Elemental” has generated $121 million globally to date. The only trouble is that “Elemental” cost $200 million, so it needs to keep drawing family crowds well into summer to break even in its theatrical run, much less climb out of the red. Elsewhere, Jennifer Lawrence’s raunchy R-rated comedy “No Hard Feelings” debuted to $9.5 million from 48 markets. It’s a promising turnout because broad comedies tend to have limited appeal with international audiences. According to Sony, the film is pacing above two recent R-rated funny films, “Cocaine Bear” by 17% and “Good Boys” by 33%, for similar markets at current exchange rates. The United Kingdom led all markets with $1.5 million, followed by Australia with $1.
