Overview
- Box Office Mojo reported Wednesday that Supergirl finished its global theatrical run at $125.8 million, a figure confirmed across multiple industry outlets.
- That total makes Supergirl the lowest‑grossing major DC movie since Catwoman (2004) and places it well below recent comic‑book flops such as Morbius and Joker: Folie à Deux.
- Industry reporting cites a roughly $170 million production budget plus tens of millions more in marketing, which analysts say creates a multi‑hundred‑million dollar shortfall for the studio.
- DC Studios co‑CEO Peter Safran has publicly defended the broader 10‑year plan and warned against judging the slate on a single release, while outlets previously reported the studio explored earlier digital and premium‑on‑demand windows to recover revenue.
- The result intensifies scrutiny of the relaunched DCU — Supergirl was only the second theatrical release under James Gunn’s plan — and could prompt changes to budgets, rollout timing, and which characters get solo films going forward.
