Supergirl Hits 77% Audience Score as Critics Leave It at 58%

3 articles · Updated · Forbes · Jun 26

Summary

  • Supergirl’s Rotten Tomatoes audience score reached 77%, putting viewers 19 points above critics after the film opened to the public.
  • That gap emerged after critic reviews dragged the movie to a 58% “rotten” rating, well below Superman and other recent DCU entries.
  • The 77% audience mark still trails Superman’s 90%, though it places Supergirl roughly in the top 15 among DC movies and above some uneven DCEU audience performers.
  • Box office now becomes the bigger test: the $175 million film may struggle to reach $300 million worldwide, with Jackass: Best and Last and second-weekend leader Toy Story 5 adding pressure.
