The July 4 weekend box office will be dominated by two animated films. There’s “Minions & Monsters,” now in theaters and aiming for a $52M three-day total, and “Toy Story 5,” in its third weekend, looking at around $50M.
Then there’s “Supergirl,” coming off a disastrous $37M opening last weekend and now heading for a steep drop, with a projected second weekend of only $10M+. That would be a decline of about 73%—not a good sign. It only earned $2.2M on Thursday, and so far, nothing seems to be going right for this DCU film, which will likely lose a significant number of screens next Friday.
So far, “Supergirl” has made $48M domestically and $86M worldwide. The budget, depending on the estimate, is anywhere between $170M and $186M. Some believed it could reach $200M by the end of its run, but it’s increasingly unclear whether that will actually happen.
