Supergirl's Box Office Flop: Lowest DC Debut in Decades
29 Jun
Summary
- Supergirl opened at #2 domestically, earning $38 million.
- International earnings reached $30 million on its 5-day opening.
- The film ranks as the 8th lowest DC opening weekend in 20 years.
DC's latest film, Supergirl, has debuted with underperforming box office numbers, both domestically and worldwide. The movie opened at number two in North America, earning $38 million over its opening weekend, falling short of projections and even below recent DC releases. This performance marks it as the eighth-lowest opening weekend for a DC film in the past twenty years.
Internationally, Supergirl brought in $30 million during its initial five-day run across 78 markets. Combined with its domestic earnings, the film's total worldwide opening stands at $68 million. This also positions it as the second-lowest international opening for a DC film in two decades, surpassing only Blue Beetle.
Directed by Craig Gillespie and produced with a $175 million budget, Supergirl's journey began on June 26th. The film follows Supergirl on an interstellar mission with an ally against a formidable adversary. Early negative word-of-mouth suggests a difficult path ahead for the movie at the box office.
