Forums - Movies & TV - Supergirl flops at the box office

Hynad on 02 July 2026

I went to see it last week-end. I thought it was good. Not great. It had heart. It looked good visually. I thought the story it tells was good and heartfelt. Even though it’s not the usual “save the world” type of storytelling people usually expect from superhero movies, I thought looking inward Kara traumas and angst as a late teenager/young adult who lost everything was a nice change of pace for this genre. But I was already aware of what to expect from the comics from which it is adapted., 

Milly Alcock carried the movie quite exceptionally well, being in almost every scenes of it. I know it’s the current trend on social media to hate on everything and everyone, but I think people are being all kinds of unfair and cynical about it for reasons that elude me. I went in with an open-mind, kinda knowing what to expect (based on my knowledge of the Woman of Tomorrow comics) and came out feeling it was a good ride. Not the best comic book movie, but far from being among the worst like the naysayers are claiming.

I’d rate it between a 3.5 and 4 out of 5. Will buy on 4K Bluray when it comes out.

The film reportedly dropped by a disastrous 74% at the box office this past weekend, grossing just $10m domestically despite the Independence Day weekend which is traditionally helpful to the box office:

Thought the movie was good. The fighting sequences were done well, the effects, supergirl actress did a solid job, so was jason mamoa.
I think what hurt the sales was the marketing. I had no idea about this movie exisiting till around 4 days before it released. I saw or heard no advertising anywhere. Not in theatres, on tv, internet, subway/shopping malls anywhere..

Probably because the studio and distribution company knew that it wasn't going to be received well enough to warrant a big marketing budget.  They didn't want to throw good money after bad.

I agree with everyone :P Not the right moment for this character, the movie wasn't bad, but wasn't special in any way either. Jason Mamoa's character didn't really add anything to the movie, the small girl that was extremely naive, but also not really funny. And the main character. Well, I guess she changed a bit, but at the same time. Not really a good origin story. Way too generic.
