‘Supergirl’ Can’t Stick the Landing With Disappointing Opening

PARISA TAGHIZADEH / Warner Bros.Supergirl came in strong but fell short of expectations, opening with a modest 38 million domestically. Projections for the newest film in the DC canon ranged from 50 million to 55 million in North America. With a massive 170 million production budget, Milly Alcock’s Supergirl needs to earn 375 million during its run to break even. Its negative critical and popular reception may hurt its staying power, as it received a disappointing 56 percent on Rotten Tomatoes and a B- grade in CinemaScore exit polls. Toy Story 5 told a different story this weekend, holding strong with an impressive 70 million in its second weekend. It has already earned 297 million domestically and 585 million globally as of this release. The Gen-Z-directed film Obsession, produced for less than 1 million dollars, remains strong at No. 3 in the box office rankings, bringing in another 9.8 million in its seventh week of release. Finally, Jackass: Best and Last debuted this weekend at No. 4, earning 8.2 million in its first weekend—a franchise low, but still respectable given its 10 million production budget.Read it at VarietyRead more at The Daily Beast.
