‘Supergirl’ Crashes 77% in Second Weekend, Revised Box Office Drops to $8.6M [Updated]

UPDATE: “Supergirl” had an even worse second weekend than we originally suspected. Yesterday, Warner Bros. reported $9.6M, but revised numbers today put it at $8.6M, an 77% drop. The film currently sits at $99M worldwide against a $170–185M budget.

EARLIER: The July 4 weekend box office will be dominated by two animated films. There’s “Minions & Monsters,” now in theaters and aiming for a $37M three-day total, and “Toy Story 5,” in its third weekend, looking at around $31M.

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.
