Overview
- The film, which finished its theatrical run on Wednesday, August 5, 2026, closed at $125.8 million worldwide, according to box‑office tallies published across multiple outlets.
- Industry estimates place production near $170 million and marketing around $100 million, leaving the studio far from breakeven and implying a sizable theatrical loss.
- By its final total, Supergirl is the lowest‑grossing DC movie since 2004’s Catwoman and earned notably less than recent comic‑book disappointments such as Morbius and Joker: Folie à Deux.
- DC Studios co‑CEO Peter Safran said the company remains confident in its long‑term plan, while industry observers and outlets say the result has intensified calls for tighter budget discipline, shorter theatrical-to-digital windows, and closer studio oversight of upcoming DCU projects.
- The movie is moving to digital now and will arrive on 4K/Blu‑ray and DVD on September 8, and studio leaders will watch the performance of lower‑cost entries such as Clayface and Lanterns for signs the DCU’s strategy can be steadied.
