Blue Beetle isꦬ predicted to make $30 million during its opening weekend – a disappoin𓄧ting start for the new superhero movie. 

This would narrowly make the movie DC's lowest-performing title at the box office during an opening weekend this year – 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Shazam! Fury of the Gods, released back in March, made $30.5 million, while 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Flash, released in June, made $55 million. 

By contrast, Barbie cashed in $155 million on its opening weekend last month, while 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Oppenheimer made $80 million. As for other superhero movies from other studios, Marvel's latest big-screen project, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, made $118 mi🦩llion during its first weekend i𒆙n theaters. 

Blue Beetle is the alter ego of Jaime Reyes, who's played by 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Cobra Kai's Xolo Maridueña. When Jaime returns to his hometown after gradu🍰ating from college, he's chosen to be the symbiote host to the Scarab, an alien being that grants him superpowers and exoskeleton armor, turning him into the Blue Beetle.  

DC Studios CEO 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:James Gunn recently confirmed that Blue 🐓Beetle will be the first official character in his ne✨w DCU – but it's not the first movie. That title belongs to Super🐠man: Legacy, which is set to release in 2025. However, the first DCU project is Creature Commandos, a Max TV show coming in 2024. Still with us…? 

Blue Beetle arrives on the big screen on August 18. While we wait, check out our guide to the rest of the year's most highly anticipated 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:movie release dates.
