Supergirl Tracking Slips to $51M Ahead of Release

That softer projection could reshape expectations for the relaunched DC Universe led by James Gunn and Peter Safran.

Overview

  • National Research Group tracking reported June 19–20 puts Supergirl’s three-day U.S. opening at about $51 million.
  • If that projection holds, the film would open below 2023’s The Flash, which debuted at $55 million, and well under last summer’s Superman, which opened to $125 million.
  • Advance press screenings have produced broadly positive reactions that praise Milly Alcock and Jason Momoa and compare the film’s energy to Mad Max: Fury Road and Guardians of the Galaxy.
  • Analysts note that favorable reviews and strong word-of-mouth could boost longer-term box-office performance and help offset a roughly $175 million production cost tied to a global breakeven in the low-to-mid hundreds of millions.
  • The film’s opening weekend performance, its week-to-week holds and its international receipts will be the decisive tests for whether the new DCU gains momentum.
