Supergirl movie declared box‑office flop with up to $120 million loss

The DC Studios film Supergirl premiered worldwide on 26 June 2026. With a production budget estimated between $170 million and $186 million plus sizable marketing costs, the movie has so far grossed about $108 million globally, well short of expectations.

Industry analysts project a total loss ranging from $80 million to $120 million. Warner Bros. Pictures announced that the theatrical run will end early, moving the title to a Premium Video‑on‑Demand release on 28 July. This rapid shift is a standard indicator of a commercial failure.

Critical response has been mixed‑negative. Reviews cite a bland tone, uneven direction by Craig Gillespie, and a failure to differentiate Supergirl from Superman. Scores range from 54 % on Rotten Tomatoes to a 6/10 rating from IGN, while some critics called the film “generic” and “average”. The combination of poor box‑office performance and lukewarm reviews has raised questions about the future direction of the new DC Universe.
