James Gunn's Supergirl fell short of box office expectations during its opening weekend, earning $68 million (£51 million) worldwide, including $38 million (£28 million) domestically, against a reported production budget of around $170 million (£128 million). The film has also received mixed reviews, with criticism focused mainly on its script and action sequences.
DC Studios co-CEO Peter Safran acknowledged that the film failed to meet the studio's box office expectations but remained positive, saying it was 'just one component of a broader, long-term strategy at DC Studios that we remain confident in'.
