Welp, the film has ground to a crawl at around $120m globally in box office revenue, against a combined production and marketing budget of around $300m, so a loss of around $180 million.

Ouch.

The studio only gets around half of the earned revenue so the loss is closer to $240m.

Yeah that's not even taking into account the cut that cinemas/distributors take, so the whole thing is frankly a catastrophe.

Still haven't seen the movie, but can we talk about Lobo?
The way I see it, Lobo is comparable to Deadpool and would've had potential to one or two great "not really part of universe" movies of his own.
This seems more like X-Men Origins: Wolverine type use of the character.

The trailers came off as a worse Guardians of the Galaxy, and Supergirl herself came off as unlikeable, which hasn't exactly worked out well. Superman disappointed me, so I wasn't that excited for Supergirl, and the trailers cemented it for me.

Don't worry, Wall Street Journal's got the ace up its sleeve defense.....MISOGYNY! I wish I was joking lol

She kicked some ass in that movie and you could make the case that it presented one of the strongest female leads recently.  The WSJ on the other hand, is probalby one of the best news publications available, and it's allowed to make a misinformed article once in a while, especially when it comes to things like pop culture which isn't its expertise anyway.
