Blue Beetle Will Make Its Debut On Max Next Week

Blue Beetle got a bit lost at the box office this summer, but the best DC film of the year so far will debut on Max next week, so no more excuses for not checking it out.

Of the three released DC movies so far this year, Blue Beetle was by far the best one, and it's also the one that underperformed the worst at the box office. There were a lot of factors that likely went into that, including fallout from Barbenheimer, lack of faith that DC could pull anything off after that fumbled the ball twice this year alone, people not knowing the character, and strikes making it so people who didn't know the character couldn't learn about it through promotional material. The movie was still pretty good, and it does sound like there are a few functional brain cells left at Warner Bros. Discovery and the rumors are they aren't holding the box office against the film too badly. It's been out on digital since the end of September, but no one can blame anyone for not wanting to spend money on a movie they haven't seen or don't know anything about. Now, people can check out Blue Beetle; all they need is their existing Max subscription. According to Deadline, Blue Beetle is set to make its debut on the streaming service on November 17th. Maybe the film will find a second wind online. Plenty of other movies have managed to pull that off, and the better of the three released [so far] DC movies won't get lost in how badly The Flash and Shazam! Fury of the Gods did.
