Can Supergirl Outshine Wonder Woman?
12 Jun
Summary
- Supergirl's budget is under $200 million worldwide.
- Wonder Woman 1984 grossed $169.6 million globally.
- Supergirl's opening weekend is projected above $55 million.
Supergirl is set to make its mark on the box office, with expectations high for its upcoming theatrical release. Notably, the film's production cost is less than $200 million worldwide, a figure that positions it to avoid being labeled a "DC bomb." This budget allows it to potentially surpass the global box office performance of Wonder Woman 1984.
Wonder Woman 1984, released in the DC Extended Universe, faced significant challenges. Its worldwide earnings totaled $169.6 million against a reported $200 million budget, a performance hindered by pandemic-related theater closures and a simultaneous HBO Max release. The film garnered $46.8 million domestically and $122.8 million internationally.
The upcoming Supergirl movie is tracking for a robust opening, with projections indicating over $55 million in North American box-office receipts. This strong start means Supergirl could surpass Wonder Woman 1984's total global gross within its second weekend of release, requiring only $170 million worldwide to achieve this milestone.
The film's narrative follows Kara Zor-El on her 23rd birthday, embarking on a galactic journey with her dog Krypto. This adventure leads her to Ruthye Marye Knoll and a tragic series of events that propel her onto a quest for revenge. Starring Milly Alcock and Jason Momoa, the movie was released on June 26.
