Overview
- Toy Story 5 remained the weekend box‑office leader with about $21 million on Friday and a projected $70 million to $80 million for the frame, pushing its North American total toward $300 million.
- Supergirl opened in second place with roughly $18 million on Friday and weekend estimates ranging near $40 million to $50 million, a result described by reporters as below the studio’s internal hopes.
- Audience metrics for Supergirl were middling, with a B‑ CinemaScore and mixed PostTrak recommendation rates that suggest weaker word‑of‑mouth than recent DC releases.
- Reported production costs put Supergirl around $170 million to $186 million, meaning the film will need stronger international returns and steady domestic holds to reach profitability.
- Industry watchers say Toy Story 5’s hold safeguards Disney’s merchandising and franchise momentum, while Supergirl’s start will shape expectations for DC’s planned slate and how studios judge summer tentpole risk.
