It’s unfortunate that DC movies have been suffering from poor box office numbers lately. Black Adam made nearly $400 million at the box office but still wasn’t enough to guarantee a sequel. Also, the Shazam franchise's future is in jeopardy since the sequel only making $30.5 million at the opening weekend box office when it was expected to make $35-40 million. The latest DC movie Blue Beetle has sadly joined the ranks of poor box office numbers, but Warner Bros.’s boss blames Tropical Storm Hilary for those disappointing results.
CBS News says that Tropical Storm Hilary is the first tropical storm to hit Southern California in 84 years. With Los Angeles being the top market for DC’s Blue Beetle, they were hit with a series of rain, mudslides, floods, and rock slides during the movie’s opening weekend. Given all of the weather turmoil the state has faced, Warner Bros. Studios posted gave a response that's circulating on Twitter that they blame the storm for why Blue Beetle didn’t have a big box office opening.
