Why Supergirl Bombed At The Box Office

Looper | June 29, 2026



It’s a bird! It’s a plane! No, it’s a disappointing box office performance! The opening weekend of “Supergirl” wasn’t what James Gunn and the rest of DC Studios were hoping for, and it’s not very difficult to see why.

    Dont understand all the hate, i went to see it with my teenage daughter and had a good time. Thats what cinema is all about. So much hate towards this movie and the online bullying of Milly Alcock, i dont understand how a movie can make people become so angry. Its a movie… relax.

    I haven't seen it, but how can you say a movie bombed when it just opened 4 days ago? Do people really think everyone on earth who are going to see a film see it the first few days that it opens?!

    There's nothing wrong with feminists and femininity. But there is toxic feminists and that's what this is. It's toxic. If toxic masculinity is canceled, it's time to cancel. Toxic feminists. After all, the fans just wanted a movie we wanted was a good movie and this movie should have been an easy layup like the graphic novel was already written. You just had to adapt it to the big screen and they screwed it up and now it's time James Gunn pays the price with his job. Nobody likes his weird view on the DC universe

    Crazy idea: The “Super” characters are boring. Generic weak looking people in tights but they have super powers making them fast and strong. Yaaaawn.

    Superman was not a success, it was a bad movie released at time were people had hope for the franchise. Now that people have seen Gunns crapy vision for this franchise, people wont show up to waste money.

    "It's from a lot of people whose profiles have no photo… Or someone's name and then 'Dad of four, Christian,' which is hilarious to me."……."But I mean, whose opinion do you really care about? If you're pissing the right kind of people off, you're doing OK."

    The special effects were mediocre at best. The dog looked so fake and this is 2026. I've seen much better effects from the early 90's. It was a dull film that lacked any energy. I was falling asleep and I had a Dbox seat.

    This movie was great! I recommend watching it! My group of friends all loved it. Id rewatch it again in IMAX.

    Beforehand it’d be good if you knew a little about “Woman of Tomorrow” written by Tom King

    They need to realize that the most of the viewers are men and men don't want a scrawny female playing supergirl! I mean, most of us probably didn't even want a standalone supergirl movie!
