Analysed 29 Jun 2026·20 sources analysed·India·Entertainment
Supergirl Faces Modest Box Office Performance Amid Competition and Mixed ReviewsPreviousNext

DC Studios' Supergirl, starring Milly Alcock, has opened to modest box office returns globally and in India, with early estimates indicating a weaker performance compared to the previous DCU film Superman. The movie faces strong competition from releases like Toy Story 5 and Indian films, and mixed reviews citing a weak plot have contributed to subdued audience interest. Industry analysts suggest the film may struggle to recoup its production costs, raising concerns about its commercial success.
