Supergirl projected to reach $100 million worldwide despite modest box-office performance

Supergirl is entering its second weekend in U.S. theaters with a domestic seven-day total of $48.9 million, according to box-office data. The film earned $2.3 million on Thursday, an 8 percent increase from the previous day, and analysts expect a significant decline in its second-week earnings. Projections indicate the movie will make around $10 million this weekend, which would raise its U.S. cumulative gross to about $60 million and could end its domestic run between $75 million and $80 million.

Internationally, the film has generated $34.5 million to date, with a $1.7 million contribution on Thursday, bringing the worldwide total to $83.4 million. Industry estimates suggest the global figure will cross the $100 million mark by the end of the weekend.

The projected total falls short of the $169.6 million worldwide revenue recorded by Wonder Woman 1984, which was released during the pandemic with a simultaneous streaming window. Based on current performance, Supergirl is likely to move to digital platforms within weeks, allowing home viewing for audiences who missed its theatrical run.

The movie’s promotional activity on social media has been minimal since late June, and no new marketing materials have been released for the weekend. Critics have offered mixed reviews; one reviewer described the film as a “fun comic-book movie” and gave it a rating of 6-7 out of 10, while another highlighted perceived shortcomings in writing and visual execution.
