The box office conversation around Supergirl has gone from disappointing to downright grim. The Milly Alcock-led new DC movie opened soft, and its second weekend did not bring the kind of hold that might have calmed down the “is this a bomb?” discourse. If anything, the numbers made the conversation louder. Let’s break down how the second weekend drop compares to other superhero flicks.
Early weekend estimates put Supergirl’s second-weekend drop around 73% to 74%, which was already bad enough. AP reported the film made just under $10 million in weekend two, calling it a steep 74% drop from its opening. Current Box Office Mojo daily totals are even rougher: $3.6 million on Friday, $2.5 million on Saturday, and about $2.5 million on Sunday. Against its $37.1 million opening weekend, that adds up to roughly $8.6 million for weekend two, or about a 76.8% drop.
