Supergirl’s troubles have already begun with a disappointing start on the North American box office on its opening day. The film may have one in all the bottom opening weekends amongst DC movies. Its opening-day gross is even lower than Joker 2, which ended up being a giant disaster. The newest DC movie starring Milly Alcock, as reported, has opened at #2 within the domestic box office rankings. Keep scrolling for further details.
The critics’ rankings on Rotten Tomatoes are usually not so encouraging, with only 57%. Their collective consensus states, “Millie Alcock brings a swagger to Kara Zor-El that’d make Krypton proud on this otherwise familiar origin story, dawning a promising recent hero within the DCU who’s still waiting for an adventure that matches her vigor.” The audience rating is barely higher and above average, standing at 76%, yet not enough to vary its troubling fate on the box office.
How much did Supergirl earn on its opening day on the North American box office?
In accordance with Box Office Mojo’s data, Supergirl collected just $18 million on the box office in North America on its opening day. The movie opened at #2 within the domestic box office rankings. The movie’s opening day gross includes $7.8 million from Thursday previews. It raked in $10.2 million on Friday, opening day sans the previews. It’s reportedly the Sixth-lowest pure Friday for any DC movie in 20 years.
How does it stack up against other comic book releases?
It’s greater than X-Men: Dark Phoenix’s $14 million and Morbius’s $17.3 million collection. The DC movie’s opening-day gross is lower than Joker 2‘s, which earned $20.3 million in North America and ended up as a giant box-office failure. DC’s latest has scored even lower than The Marvels‘ $21.6 million and The Flash‘s $24.2 million opening-day collections.
Opening weekend update
In accordance with reports, it should fall in need of the industry’s $50 million opening weekend projection. Based on current trends, it’s projected to earn between $37 million and $42 million on its opening weekend. It has collected just $5.7 million on the overseas box office. The overseas collection has hit $11.1 million cume over 78 markets. The worldwide collection is $29.1 million. It’s thus tracking to earn between $62 million and $77 million on its opening weekend worldwide, contrary to the previous $80 million to $90 million global debut projection. Supergirl was released on June 26.
