Supergirl has made far from a superheroic stamp at the box office – and now DC Studios has addressed the elephant in the room. Anticipation was high for the new film, considering its predecessor, James Gunn's Superman, was a critical and commercial hit in 2025. But Supergirl , starring Milly Alcock, was maligned by critics – and audiences are in agreement; the film, which cost around $170m (£128.4m) to make, made just $63m (£47.6m) in its first weekend of release.
