Supergirl opens to $38 million in US, far behind Toy Story 5's $70 million debut

The new DCU film Supergirl earned only $38 million in its opening weekend in the United States, bringing its worldwide total to $68 million. The figure is far below expectations for a movie with a $170 million production budget and contrasts sharply with Disney/Pixar’s Toy Story 5, which opened to $70 million domestically and has amassed $585 million worldwide.

Critical reception for Supergirl has been mixed; Rotten Tomatoes reports a 56 % approval rating from critics and a 77 % audience score. Commentators describe the film as weak and question its impact on the future of the DC Universe, noting its poor box‑office performance compared with recent DC releases and even with other under‑performing titles such as Morbius.

The disparity in earnings highlights Toy Story 5’s continued dominance at the box office and raises concerns for Warner Bros. Discovery about the commercial viability of its new DCU offerings.
