During its opening weekend, it grossed an underwhelming $55 million at the domestic box office. In its second weekend, that dropped 72% to a mere $15.3 million, with some pundits already predicting this will be a box office bomb.

According to Luiz Fernando, the film is estimated to earn $280-310 million globally in its theatrical run. When pitted against The Flash’s $200-220 million production budget, $150 million in marketing, and the fact that studios don’t take all of their box office haul, the movie may lose $200 million for Warner Bros.

Fernando believes they may have lost less money by releasing it on Max or not releasing it at all.

      I expect James Gunn will still get to make his Superman movie. I was kind of looking forward to the Swamp Thing movie, but I bet it will get cancelled or at best postponed, probably some other planned stuff that I can't remember.

      Considering who's in charge, they'll figure out how to get theatrical releases to dogshit reality shows somehow.

      Watch them murder the Harley Quinn show, the only DC property that's doing well and has a consistent fanbase asking for more content.

      I've got no idea if its decent but I'm questioning if Blue Beetle is going to see the light of day. My only caveat is that I tihnk the tax writeoff thing they pulled with Batgirl is something they're not allowed to do again.
