Supergirl Posts $7.8M Previews as Opening Estimates Slide

Overview

• The film earned $7.8 million in U.S. Thursday previews, a figure reported by industry trackers that sits above Black Adam’s preview haul but below recent DC tentpoles like The Flash and Aquaman.
• Trackers revised Supergirl’s expected North American opening down to roughly $40–50 million after the early returns, with worldwide projections now near $80–90 million.
• Early audience measures are mixed: Rotten Tomatoes shows stronger audience scores than critics while CinemaScore registered a B-, a grade that can signal weaker mainstream legs for a PG-13 tentpole.
• Warner Bros. reported about $5.2 million in initial overseas receipts and industry estimates put first-day global intake near $13 million, making international holds more important to the film’s long-term revenue.
• The film’s performance matters to DC Studios’ relaunch because production and break-even thresholds require solid global grosses, so strong word-of-mouth and steady multiweek box-office drops will determine whether Supergirl turns a profit.
