Warner Bros. and DC Studios’ “The Flash” opened in first place at the domestic box office over the weekend, grossing $55.1 million, according to estimates from measurement firm Comscore.
But the superhero movie — whose marketing campaign has been marred by legal scandals and disturbing allegations surrounding its star, Ezra Miller — fell short of early domestic box office projections in the $70-million to $75 million range.
Internationally, the film made $75 million for a global cumulative of $130.1 million.
