Key Points:
- Supergirl's opening weekend box office in the US has been confirmed at $37.1 million, lower than the initially reported $38 million and underperforming compared to expectations.
- The film is performing worse than Sony's Morbius and DC's Joker: Folie à Deux, both of which had poor receptions, highlighting a disappointing start for the DC Universe Chapter One.
- Despite the weak box office showing, DC Studios co-head Peter Safran emphasized confidence in the studio's long-term strategy, viewing Supergirl as just one part of a broader plan.
- The movie received mixed reviews with a 56% Rotten Tomatoes score, and fan criticism has focused on the storyline and a questionable music choice, contributing to its lackluster performance.
- With a production budget of around $170 million plus significant marketing costs, Supergirl's current box office trajectory suggests it may struggle to become profitable.
