DC Defends ‘Supergirl’ After $38M Box Office Stumble

After Superman's relatively smooth launch in 2025, DC Studios has encountered a rougher reception with Supergirl. The film opened to $38 million domestically and $68 million worldwide against a reported $170 million production budget, a start that will make recouping costs difficult.

The movie's debut sits below recent superhero disappointments such as Morbius, The Marvels and The Flash, and it faces stiff summer competition from Toy Story 5 and the upcoming Minions & Monsters. Critical response is mixed, with Rotten Tomatoes scores at 56 percent from critics and 76 percent from audiences.
