The Warner Bros. movie “The Flash” opened this weekend and seriously underperformed at the box office.

It’s possible that the public is just tired of superhero movies, but it’s also likely that people have heard too much about the movie’s strange star, Ezra Miller.

Miller, who identifies as non-binary and uses ‘they/them’ pronouns, has been in the news multiple times over the last few years and not for good reasons.

Variety has the box office details:

‘The Flash’ Disappoints With $55 Million Debut, Pixar’s ‘Elemental’ Flops With $29.5 Million in Battle of Box Office Lightweights

“The Flash,” a superhero adventure starring Ezra Miller, emerged victorious over Pixar’s “Elemental” in a battle of box office lightweights.

This weekend’s two new releases were once expected to ignite the summer blockbuster season; instead, both entirely missed the mark. “The Flash” stumbled with $55 million and “Elemental” collected just $29.5 million in their respective debuts. Both films fell short of already-low expectations. Worse, they were pricy endeavors, costing $200 million to make and roughly $100 million to market, so they are shaping up to be huge disappointments in their theatrical runs.

In the lead-up to “The Flash,” executives at Warner Bros. worked hard to convince the public that the film is “one of the greatest superhero movies ever made,” per newly minted DC Studios co-chief James Gunn. Directed by Andy Muschietti, the story picks up as Miller’s Barry Allen a.k.a The Flash travels back in time to prevent his mother’s murder and inadvertently cracks open the DC multiverse…

“This is a weak three-day opening for a superhero [film],” says David A. Gross, who runs the movie consulting firm Franchise Entertainment Research.

These numbers are a disaster for the studio.

#TheFlash is now projected to end its worldwide box office run under $350M which would be less than:

-Black Adam
-Eternals
-Black Widow
-Uncharted

Warner Bros will lose $300M on this movie as a result of the underwhelming response from fans. pic.twitter.com/yAjqaq206n

This is a video of him appearing to choke a woman.

Movie fans just don’t want to reward this kind of behavior. Who can blame them?

A rising MMA star is in the ICU after suffering cardiac arrest on June 8.

Cris Lencioni, 28, of Portland, Oregon, suffered a cardiac arrest on June 8 and has been in the ICU fighting for his life ever since.

Lencioni is in the featherweight division in Bellator.

“On June 8th Cris suffered a cardiac arrest. As you can imagine this was completely unexpected considering he is only 28 and in peak physical condition. Cris is currently in the ICU in his biggest fight yet. We believe in the goodness of God, and we don’t know anyone with more will, strength, and determination than Cris. Cris has already overcome so much in his life, and we have faith in his ability to overcome any obstacle.” The MMA fighter’s family said on GoFundMe.

“Cris has made a significant impact on those in his life and community. He is quite a character, quick to tease and make jokes, has the most infectious laugh, and is always so full of light and life. Cris is a natural entertainer, his MMA persona makes him so fun to watch. He loves working with children and has often made sure kids were able to participate in tournaments and train BJJ in his gym regardless of their ability to pay. He has always talked about the importance of mentoring kids and being there to support kids who are struggling with hard things. His gym and kids’ program is his passion project.” the family said.

“Cris is a loving husband to Marca and father to an almost 2-year-old little boy (little Cris).” the family said.

Sunshine got his nickname because he’s always in a bright and cheerful mood. This is a young man who prepared his whole life for a fight and it appears he just found one.
Please consider helping the family in this time of need. It will be considered a personal favor.… pic.twitter.com/lJhk9GOfat
