Part of situation: Toy Story 5 tops $1B, draws praise and layoffs (200 clusters)

Supergirl box‑office flop raises doubts for DC Studios' future

Supergirl box office loss DC Studios James Gunn creative differences

DC Studios' film *Supergirl* opened to just $38 million in the United States and roughly $68 million worldwide, far below its estimated $170‑180 million production budget. The movie suffered a 74 % drop in its second weekend, one of the steepest declines in comic‑book cinema history, prompting fears of a loss exceeding $100 million.

The underperformance has been linked to creative tensions between director Craig Gillespie and co‑heads James Gunn and Peter Safran. The Hollywood Reporter noted that “dizer que eles não estavam criativamente alinhados é uma forma educada de descrever a situação.” Warner Bros. ultimately used a studio‑edited cut after test screenings.

Analysts see the flop as a serious signal for the new DC Universe, with the studio’s next releases—including the low‑budget horror *Clayface* (2026), *Man of Tomorrow* (2027) and *The Batman Part II* (2027)—intended to restore confidence.

The film’s poor box‑office returns have sparked broader industry discussions about superhero fatigue and the sustainability of expansive cinematic universes.
