There’s no really way to sugarcoat this: “Supergirl” is a box office bomb, a big one. Reportedly produced for $170 million, and with a hefty $120 million marketing spend (per Variety), it’s grossed $107 million worldwide to date; with momentum stalled, it likely won't come close to being profitable.
Naturally, no movie studio likes taking a loss. However, the complete audience rejection of “Supergirl” should have alarm bells ringing at Warner Bros. because this is only the second movie from its rebooted DC Universe under the stewardship of James Gunn and Peter Safran. Two movies into the new connected comic book universe, and the pressure is mounting.
