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.
Recommended VideosAcross 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.

The line for #TheFlash was all the way outside the theatre. It filled up when I was close to the front but got tickets for another screening next week. Loved the energy. pic.twitter.com/Sp7B0SwipV

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.

A friend I met today spent $500 to fly out here from Michigan and catch this early The Flash fan screening at AMC The Grove 14, after being turned away(despite us being at the front of the line the whole time) they had a panic attack outside the theater@wbpictures https://t.co/JSrF9LxRCm
— Neb | 🏳️🌈 (@NebsGoodTakes) May 23, 2023Despite 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.
Someone was reportedly arrested at an advanced fan screening for "The Flash" earlier today.
Multiple other screenings were canceled and entire audiences were not let into theaters for seemingly no reason. #TheFlash #DC #Batman pic.twitter.com/dVVtjeCINL

— Movie Reviews By JT (@moviere09350416) May 23, 2023If 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.
Can’t believe I’m saying this… but it’s true. #TheFlash is FANTASTIC. Not only is this one of the most fun comic book movies I’ve ever seen, but it is full to the brim with SO much heart. This is one of the best DC films I’ve seen in a while, and a MUST SEE in theaters! pic.twitter.com/YdxhHTbVmE
— RJ (@ResonantJustice) May 23, 2023The road to get this movie made has been a long one, but it was more than worth it.
Believe the hype, because Andy Muschietti truly did deliver one of the all time great superhero movies with “The Flash”.
Heartfelt, Emotional, Hilarious, Fun, and Action-Packed, the film… pic.twitter.com/bZMMaLJlD3
— The Political Comic Nerd and Movie Buff (@TheSandersonBro) May 23, 2023The Flash is absolutely sensational.
After all the delays, all the frustration and all nonsense that DCEU fans have had to put up with, this film was absolutely worth the wait!
It’s nothing short of one giant emotional love letter to the character and DC itself. pic.twitter.com/cpvkMT8rln
