Warner Bros. Confirms Supergirl Digital Release and 4K/Blu-ray Extras

The studio is rushing the film to home platforms to recoup audience interest following a weak theatrical run.

Overview

  • Warner Bros./DC Studios announced the film will be available on digital video platforms in late July with 4K UHD, Blu-ray, and DVD editions scheduled for early September, though outlets report slightly different exact dates.
  • The home releases will include more than 90 minutes of bonus features, including a making-of, featurettes on adapting Tom King and Bilquis Evely’s comic, behind-the-scenes pieces on production design and Jason Momoa’s Lobo, animated Krypto shorts, and deleted scenes.
  • Supergirl opened in theaters on June 26 and underperformed, taking in roughly $120.9 million worldwide and posting weak fourth-weekend North American receipts, a performance the studio appears to be addressing by accelerating the home window.
  • Milly Alcock stars as Kara Zor-El with supporting roles from Matthias Schoenaerts, Eve Ridley, David Krumholtz, Emily Beecham, David Corenswet, and Jason Momoa, and the studio has framed the release as part of ongoing plans to build Alcock’s role in the relaunched DCU.
  • Digital retailers named for the VOD rollout include Apple TV, Google Play, Fandango at Home and other participating stores, and the quick home push may signal Warner Bros.’ effort to drive sales and reshape audience engagement after the film’s theatrical shortfall.
