Consider me shocked by David Zaslav’s Warner Bros hiding the actual budget of “The Flash.” It turns out, it’s not the originally reported $220 million, but, rather, almost $100 million more.
THR is reporting that “The Flash,” which only grossed $268 million worldwide, actually cost $300 million and that doesn’t even count an additional $150 million dished out for marketing. You do the math. The film might have losses in excess of $200 million.
Warner is hoping to bank additional profits via The Flash’s August 25th VOD release, but this is going to end up being the biggest bomb of the summer. I don’t think anything else comes close to beating it.
Still no distributor for "Bucking Fastard," "Alpha Gang," "The Last Photograph," "Closing Night," and "The Life and Deaths of Wilson Shedd." The issue seems to be quality more than a lack of willingness to buy.
