‘The Flash’ Earns More Record-Setting Scores at Test-Screening

At this point, the word-of-mouth marketing push for Andrés Muschietti’s “The Flash” has reached overdrive.

The rumors go that Warner Bros is so confident with “The Flash” that they are willing to keep Ezra Miller on for future instalments.

In fact, their confidence is so high that they’re not even going to hide their summer golden nugget for long. They’ve decided to screen the movie, in its entirety, next week at CinemaCon, more than 6 weeks before the theatrical release date.

Now we’re getting word that another record-breaking test-screening occured yesterday and, shocker, the response was enthusiastic. This was said to be the Final Cut of the film and the scores were “through the roof,” again.

I had been told back in August that “The Flash” earned the highest test-score ratings in DCEU history when it screened that month. Directed by Andrés Muschietti, “The Flash” is indeed rumored to be one of the best DCEU movies.

Our report was then emulated by Deadline who wrote about the incredible reception for “The Flash”. That’s why there will be no more delays for this movie. It’s very much a 2023 release, despite its budget having supposedly skyrocketed to nearly $300 million.

James Gunn called it “probably one of the greatest superhero movies ever made.” Oh, and a certain Tom Cruise raved about the film. THR reported that Cruise loved the movie so much that he cold-called Muschietti to rave about it.

Last August, I had posted a reaction I gathered from a test-screening: “Humorous, thrilling and emotional” is what one person told me about “The Flash.” Miller is said to be perfect in the role. The movie is also Michael Keaton’s big return as Batman, and he is said to play a very important role in the plot, appearing in more than half of the film’s 140 minutes.

This is all very positive to hear because the last superhero movie that I genuinely liked was 2019’s “Avengers: Endgame.” Ever since then, the genre has been in dire straits with countless disappointments from both Marvel and DC.
