Supergirl Plunges 74% to $58.4 Million Domestic, Deepening Projected $200 Million Loss

Summary
$58.4 million is all “Supergirl” has made domestically after a 74% second-weekend drop, with Friday revenue down 80.4% from opening day to $3.6 million.
A $175 million production budget plus at least $100 million in marketing left the film needing roughly $450 million to $500 million worldwide to break even, but weak overseas results have kept it far off pace.
$37 million in its opening weekend had already signaled trouble, and the latest collapse suggests positive word of mouth never materialized despite the July 4 holiday frame.
$21 million opening for Angel Studios’ “Young Washington” added an unfavorable comparison, with the lower-budget film posting a far stronger per-theater average and a 92% positive audience score.
The slump intensifies pressure on James Gunn’s DC reboot at Warner Bros., with “Supergirl” now unlikely to approach the roughly $200 million domestic haul the studio would have needed.
