Supergirl misses expectations, opens second to Toy Story 5

Supergirl opened to $38 million domestically, short of the $50–$55 million target, and has grossed $68 million worldwide. It finished second to Toy Story 5, which added $70 million domestically this weekend and now sits at $585 million globally. With a $170 million production budget and an estimated $300 million needed to reach profitability, the film faces an uphill financial path as box office typically declines after opening weekend.

The movie follows Kara Zor-El (Milly Alcock) as she helps an alien girl named Ruthye (Eve Ridley). It is the second entry in the rebooted DC Universe after 2025’s Superman, which earned $618 million worldwide on a $225 million budget. Reviews for Supergirl were divided while Toy Story 5 drew strong praise, and opening audiences were 59% male, suggesting limited appeal beyond core superhero fans.
