Supergirl<\/u> has managed to inch past $100 million at the global box office, but its second weekend in theaters also saw it secure one of the biggest drops in superhero movie history.<\/p>\n

It’s yet another disappointing update for the DCU following its sophomore installment’s already rough opening weekend<\/u>. Despite managing to reach $100.47 million globally, Supergirl, which stars Milly Alcock as its title character, only brought in $9.6 million domestically and $9.4 million internationally during its second weekend in theaters.<\/p>\n

That’s down 74% from last weekend’s $37.1 million domestic opening and a crushing blow to Warner Bros. and DC. The decline lands it among other comic book movies with historically low second-weekend drops, such as Joker: Folie \u00e0 Deux (81%<\/u>), Morbius (74%<\/u>), The Marvels (78%<\/u>), and The Flash (72%<\/u>). With the holiday weekend coming to a close, Supergirl’s worldwide total now hovers just above $100 million, coming in fourth at the global box office behind Minions & Monsters (first), Toy Story 5 (second), and Young Washington (third).<\/p>\n

Supergirl was deemed a box office bomb when it debuted to a global total of $68 million following its June 26 premiere. The Warner Bros. superhero movie reportedly<\/u> had a $170 million production budget and $120 million marketing budget, suggesting the studio would need around $300 million just to break even.<\/p>\n

The film’s theatrical run was previously projected to accumulate around $200 million \u2013 a number that would put it at a $100 million loss<\/u> \u2013 but a 74% drop suggests the studio will have to fight tooth and nail just to reach even that goal. Despite Supergirl’s position as the second installment in the DCU and a pivotal moment for DC Studios, a steep decline makes it seem as though things won’t be looking up anytime soon.<\/p>\n

“While Supergirl didn\u2019t meet our box office expectations,” DC Studios co-CEO Safran told The New York Times<\/u> following its disappointing opening weekend, “it\u2019s just one component of a broader, long-term strategy at DC Studios that we remain confident in.”<\/p>\n
