Supergirl opened to $68 million worldwide this weekend, including $38 million domestically. The figure fell below Warner Bros. expectations for the $175 million-budgeted film.
DC Studios co-CEO Peter Safran addressed the results directly. “While Supergirl didn’t meet our box office expectations, it’s just one component of a broader, long-term strategy at DC Studios that we remain confident in,” he told The New York Times.
The opening placed the film second behind Toy Story 5, which added $159.1 million globally in its second weekend to reach a $585 million cumulative total. Supergirl recorded the highest IMAX opening weekend for any superhero movie to date, with 51 percent of its domestic gross from IMAX and PLF screens.
DC Studios has several projects ahead. Clayface is scheduled for October 23, the Lanterns series is set to premiere on HBO later this year, and Man of Tomorrow arrives July 9, 2027.
