THE FLASH’s Rotten Tomatoes score has started to drop ahead of its release this weekend

The flash It’s already started competing in many theaters around the world, but as more critics get a chance to see the DCEU movie, its Rotten Tomatoes score has taken a hit.

This is subject to change again in the next few days of course, but since the embargo was lifted, The flash it has mostly hovered around 72%.

With 193 reviews counted as we write this, it’s now down to 68%. It would have to drop to 59% to be considered “rotten”, but that doesn’t seem very likely unless there is a massive influx of negative verdicts in the coming days.

For now, The flash sits right between aquaman (65%) and Zack Snyder’s Justice League (71%), but since the former ended up making over $1 billion in 2018, Scarlet Speedster may not need to sweat percentages!

Current opening weekend box office projections point to a take of around $70 million in North America, which is, again, similar to aquaman. It is also in the same range as black adammaking it very difficult to predict how far the legs of the fastest man alive will take him in the coming weeks.

Regarding the competition, The flash he will have to defend himself against Pixar Elementary but it’s mostly free and clear up Indiana Jones and the dial of fate It arrives on June 30.

It is worth noting that The flashThe current viewership score of is 95%, but that’s based only on verified “50+” ratings. There may be another disconnect between critics and regular moviegoers based on these current figures.

“Far from being the best superhero movie ever made and not quite one of the worst”, we said in our review, “The Flash remains another mediocre DCEU effort with appalling visuals and a messy story that the excellent Michael Keaton and Sasha Calle alone can’t save.”

The flash it is now playing in theaters.
