In blow to DC Studios, 'Supergirl' is no match for 'Toy Story 5' at box office

The article reports that 'Toy Story 5' outperformed 'Supergirl' at the box office, marking a setback for Warner Bros.' DC Studios. 'Toy Story 5' earned $70 million domestically and $89.1 million internationally, totaling $585 million globally within two weeks. In contrast, 'Supergirl' opened with $38 million in North America and $30 million abroad, leading to mixed critical reception and low audience scores. Directed by Craig Gillespie, 'Supergirl' is part of DC Studios' efforts led by James Gunn and Peter Safran, who previously succeeded with 'Superman.' The film received poor reviews and a weak CinemaScore, placing it below previous DC flops like 'The Flash' and 'The Green Lantern.' Industry analyst David A. Gross notes a decline in superhero movie success, particularly for female-led films, despite past successes like 'Wonder Woman' and 'Captain Marvel.' The underperformance of 'Supergirl' occurs amid Warner Bros. Discovery's potential acquisition by Paramount Skydance, with future DC projects including 'Clayface' and 'Man of Tomorrow.'
