Supergirl film box office performance

Overview

The 2026 film Supergirl, part of the DC Universe led by James Gunn and Peter Safran, has faced significant financial difficulties. Following its June 25 release, the film earned approximately $126.4 million worldwide, including $72.3 million in North America and $54 million internationally. This performance occurred despite an estimated production budget between $170 million and $186 million and an additional $120 million in global marketing costs. The film experienced a sharp decline in performance, with box office numbers dropping by 74% to 77% in its second week.

By October, Supergirl was identified alongside other high-budget productions, such as the Alejandro González Iñárritu film Digger, as a notable commercial disappointment for Warner Bros. Pictures. While Digger struggled with a global opening of only $20 million against a $180 million budget, Supergirl’s total global earnings remained at approximately $126 million.
