DC’s The Flash received so much praise throughout its promotional run in CinemaCon and advanced screenings that many people wanted to see what the fuss was about. Early screenings for the upcoming movie happened across various theaters across the country that it managed to attract a huge crowd to the point where many had to be turned away due to capacity limits.
Across social media platforms such as Twitter and Reddit, users shared photos and videos of crowds in a handful of AMC theaters, with keen moviegoers who were excited to watch the film. People reported that lines extended outside the buildings, with some admitting to having waited more than two hours just to see the film. Those who were there hoped that this type of reception would be the same during the film’s opening weekend.
Unfortunately, not everyone was lucky enough to see the film due to it being a first-come-first-serve event. However, some reported that people had to register online to obtain passes to see the movie. Due to how limited this screening was, some people reportedly flew to different states for a chance to see the upcoming DC blockbuster, only for them to be turned away.
Despite how full these theaters were and how many people attended just to watch the film, it doesn’t mean you could escape the law. There were numerous reports on social media that someone got arrested during one of the early screenings for attempting to film the movie using their mobile phone. Not even a packed theater can hide your piracy antics.
If people were skeptical about The Flash’s reception during its CinemaCon premiere, perhaps they could believe the praise and comments that were received throughout this limited theatrical run. Moviegoers claimed that the film was fantastic, sensational, and emotional and that it has to be the “best DC film” they’d seen in years.
If you missed out on this limited early premiere and still want to watch this upcoming superhero blockbuster, The Flash will officially hit theaters on June 16, 2023.
