James Gunn's Job Is Definitely At Risk as His Woke Partygirl Movie Supergirl Not Only Opens Worse Than Morbius, but Suffers Humiliating -73% 2nd Weekend Drop

The movie never should have been made, period.

First of all, they just released Superman last year. Their follow-up is the Superman-knockoff character Supergirl, who has the same costume and same backstory (pretty much) and same powers. The only difference? She's a Strong Empowered Woman, and hooboy, people just can't get enough of those these days.

Even if you think Supergirl is a big enough character to do a movie about -- she's really not, she's a C level character -- surely you don't make a movie about this gender-flipped clone less than a year after the last Super-Family movie.

Worse yet, because Supergirl is so similar to Superman, and they were releasing the movie so close on the heels of Superman, they decided to completely change Supergirl's personality to make her seem different from her more famous Kryptonian cousin.

The Supergirl of the comics is the ultimate good girl. Just like Superman is a boy scout, Supergirl is a girl scout.

But they just did a movie about a Kryptonian boy scout so they changed Supergirl into a "messy," selfish, "trauma scarred" (can we stop making every character scarred by trauma) alcoholic party-girl. (Hollywood also doesn't like making morally good characters generally, and especially not morally good female characters, because women shouldn't do Emotional Labor for you Racists.)

So nothing like the actual Supergirl. And because alcoholic party-girls are usually -- sorry to be so direct -- promiscuous, this is the last movie a parent would want to take a young girl to see. That should be the target audience, parents bringing young girls to the movie to have a role model, but they made the character a substance-abusing partygirl so who's going to bring their daughter to that?

In fairness, Supergirl does pass out on a toilet (as one does) but doesn't have promiscuous sex with any rando dudes.

But that's not because she's moral. It's because all Empowered Female Characters must be lesbian-coded and have no sexual or romantic interest in males at all.

So again: Most parents will not want to take a young girl to see a movie about a drug-abusing lesbian.

So because Superman came out less than a year ago, they had to show that Supergirl isn't your grandfather's Supergirl by making her a grungy drunken whore.

If that's the only way to differentiate her from Superman -- then don't make the movie at all. It will be a disaster.

Which is what it was.

The movie made less than $38 million its opening weekend. Warner Bros kept lying and claiming that it made $38 million, but many disbelieved them, because they saw the daily numbers getting worse everyday. But Warner Bros. kept saying it made $38 million because they didn't want the real headline -- Supergirl made $37.1 million, less even than the disaster called Joker: Folie a Deux.

And while it opened so low you'd think it would have nowhere lower to go, you'd be wrong.

It also has a huge drop in its second weekend, one of the worst drops of any superhero movie.

'Supergirl' suffers catastrophic 73% drop, gets obliterated at box office by patriotic 'Young Washington'

Friday grosses plunged 80% in week two, with domestic totals stalling at $58.4M against a $275M cost

James Gunn was supposed to revamp and revitalize DC Studios at Warner Bros. The director of "Guardians of the Galaxy" would, in theory, bring the type of overarching creative vision that Kevin Feige had so successfully demonstrated at Marvel Studios.
Two movies into Gunn's vision of DC Studios, it's safe to say that this reboot has been an unmitigated failure.
The 2025 edition of "Superman" was, at best, a moderate success. While hardly the type of franchise-changing success the studio and Gunn hoped for, box office results and reviews were acceptable, if not a bit underwhelming. Thanks in some part to Gunn's bewildering decision to tell audiences that the film was about politics, calling the Superman character an "immigrant."
...
Alcock spent most of the press campaign making herself as unlikeable as possible, insulting potential moviegoers, bizarrely claiming that audiences felt "ownership" of her body, then doubling down after the inevitable backlash. The trailers looked awful, with a predictably sloppy anti-hero feel, atrocious visual effects, and an uninteresting plot and villain.
Still, as recently as May, hopes were that "Supergirl" could make as much as $65 million in its opening weekend. In actuality? It made just over $37 million.
With an estimated production budget of around $175 million, and a massive marketing campaign that likely cost Warner Bros. at least $100 million, the film needed to reach at least $450-500 million globally to break even. That opening weekend, and an anemic international debut, meant it was tracking towards a significant loss. The only hope? That positive word of mouth would overcome the apathy towards the film's plot and the off-putting remarks from Alcock.
Well, we now have the second weekend box office data, and not only did word of mouth not help "Supergirl," it may have destroyed it.

Friday grosses dropped an astonishing 80.4% from opening day on June 26 to just $3.6 million. Saturday estimates are for just $2.6 million, another 77% drop, despite the Independence Day holiday. All told, it's a remarkable 74% drop from the first weekend to the second. Total domestic gross for "Supergirl" now sits at just $58.4 million. On a $275 million production, from a major studio, with a massive marketing campaign, and the creative backing of James Gunn.
If the third weekend has a similar fall, grosses would plummet to just $2.49 million. For an entire weekend. A film that needed to make $200 million+ at US theaters to break even may not even reach $80 million. And considering the woeful international numbers, it's going to cost Warner Bros. hundreds of millions in losses.

It its first weekend, this very female-skewing movie was attended by 59% men, and only 41% women and girls -- the very audience it was designed, theoretically, to appeal to.

And you know what that means -- it's time for the leftwing media to blame men for women refusing to show up a movie supposedly made for the female audience.

The film received a "rotten" rating from the review-aggregation site Rotten Tomatoes. Ticket buyers were similarly unimpressed, giving "Supergirl" a B-minus grade in CinemaScore exit polls.
...
Still, box office analysts on Sunday noted an uncomfortable truth: Female-led superhero movies have been rejected almost uniformly over the past five years or so, perhaps reflecting a resurgent misogyny among the core fan base, which is largely male. Before its release, "Supergirl" became caught up in a now-familiar cycle of online abuse, with some fanboys attacking Milly Alcock's casting and appearance. Warner Bros. executives said they were surprised by both the ferocity of the backlash and its reach, believing the culture had evolved past that sort of campaign.

I repeat: 59% of tickebuyers were men. Yeah, a specific gender failed this film, and that gender was female.

I don't like Bill Burr, but this reminds me of his rant about women attacking men for not giving the WNBA good ratings: "You complained and complained so we gave you a stupid women's basketball league, and now you're telling us we have to watch it for you, too??!"

BTW: I don't mind Supergirl being a "girl boss" because, well, canonically she's one of the most powerful beings in the DC Universe, so it's not like they're reinventing the character (as they did with Captain Marvel) to make her a girlboss.

So the girlbosshood is justified... by the lore, at least.

But man oh man, are people just tired of girlbosses, whether justified by the lore or not. I hear Furiosa was pretty good, but people rejected it anyway.

We're just tired of it. Hollywood keeps making the same movie (basically) about the same female character (basically). How often do they think we want to keep seeing the same movie about the same unlikable bitch character?

I love this SO much:

THEM: “The movie failed because of the toxic misogyny!”

ME: Well, women did not show up to see it.

THEM: “Women can be misogynists too!”

ME: So…”Supergirl” failed because of misogynistic women hating the movie?! pic.twitter.com/t7IZ4atZpz

"Very little time in the Odyssey is spent in the perspective of a woman"

O illiterate founder of Greece, the goddess Athena (a female) drives the entire story from start to finish. Her fingerprints are on every page.

The entire point of the story is that mortals, in spite of all their pride and greed, are the playthings of the gods and therefore must be humble and behave honorably or they will be punished. The male god Poseidon is the antagonist, and the hero is Athena, who repeatedly leads the otherwise helpless characters to resolution and peace.

This knowledge could be yours, if you read the book.

9 Gunn is 2/3 of the way through shooting Man of Tomorrow, and he's got his produced (not directed) and cheaply made Clayface coming out soon that should make decent money off its $40 million budget.

If and when the Paramount purchase goes through, then there might be an executive level reset, but that's not getting finalized for a year or two.

If Supergirl is seen as a fluke in the face of other successes, Gunn might be okay. We'll see.

15 Furiosa was actually pretty good, and she was emphatically NOT a "girlboss" as we understand the term today. She smelled like one to everyone who'd been repeatedly burned by them though, which is what doomed the movie.

I'd argue there was less feminist BS in it than Fury Road. She actually messes up, loses, and has setbacks, which was a refreshing change from the usual Ma-Rey Sue shenanigans.

Still not as good as Fury Road, but worth a watch for sure.

25 Supergirl murdered the defenseless big bad at the end of the movie. After the movie spending an hour telling the audience you cannot be nice and you cannot be kind, but you ultimately should be good.

I mean, it was stone cold murder with a sword through the bad guy...twice...with emphasis...and a speech. And then walking away feeling no guilt.

And that's why the WOM is so bad. The drunk party girl part works. The creating a complete supervillain out of your hero character does not.

The movie proved Lex Luthor was right in the last movie. And thus destroyed forever this version of Supergirl.

49 I don't think it matters that Supergirl sucks as a movie. There's virtually no audience for this. The last three decades have been superheromania and we're now down to D-listers of the capeshit multiverse. Supergirl could be the Citizen Kane of Flying Men in Tights movies and, at this point, it would probably still not capture much of an audience. Making a homely girl the lead probably didn't help though.

Gunn (only producer, not director or writer) started messing with the film early in post-production.

It was test screened like a dozen times and reportedly got worse scores with every test screening.

They completely changed musical scores three times.

It really feels like something Gunn rushed out to get something out between Superman 1 and 2 tied to the big blue boy scout. They've been trying to crack the script on a Batman that would be in universe (as opposed to The Batman movies which are considered separate) for years. I don't think he trusts the other creatives he's hiring.

"So, just to be absolutely clear, Helen runs off with Paris, a thousand ships are launched to get her back, an entire civilisation spends ten years slaughtering itself, Achilles dies, Ajax dies, Troy is burnt to the ground, countless young men are hacked to pieces, all because Helen wanted to get her leg over with a Trojan...

Then Odysseus, who's never even met her, spends another ten years trying to get home, loses every one of his men, gets blown from one end of the Mediterranean to the other, is imprisoned by Calypso, nearly eaten by a Cyclops, enchanted by Circe, tempted by the Sirens, chased by Poseidon, washes up naked on beaches, arrives home, his dog dies, he's missed his son grow up and has to kill a house full of blokes trying to shag his wife and you think I should, *checks notes* 'make it a bit more about Helen?'"

The problem is the character in the movie isn't a hero. She's a narcistic asshole. She's only moved to help the girl character because Krypto the dog is poisoned. And she only helps the enslaved kids at the end because she just happened to be there.

His point is she didn't exactly pull a Zegler where she went on a tour insulting all the fans - she just got roped into answering a stream of off the cuff "Pride" questions from tranny goons and her answers really weren't that bad.

And honestly they kind of weren't. She said something about there not being a "love interest" and that being cool or whatever, which is annoying but not world-ending. Then in the same answer she said Supergirl would "probably go both ways" which most normal people would have found to be a cool throwaway comment 15 years ago, but which is now world- ending because the stakes actually seem to be keeping the future of civilization out of the hands of these demonic child-fuckers.

Against Las Vegas, I think.

Sophie came off the bench and soon enough buried a three from deep.

Than I got bored and switched to...golf.

Because golf is less boring to watch than the WNBA.

Posted by: Blonde Morticia at July 06, 2026 04:56 PM (mmrXZ)

Hollywood and the Press are so used to having CONTROL of social media, that they discount it... they have paid people creating online ad campaigns all the time... so they believe that any negative media must be from some rival group.

They don't acknowledge that some voices, are actually real and from the customers.

178 It its first weekend, this very female-skewing movie was attended by 59% men, and only 41% women and girls -- the very audience it was designed, theoretically, to appeal to.

Thing is, it's always this way, at least to my understanding. The majority of all comic book movie audiences is going to be male, no matter how much girlboss pandering garbage they put in it. But it's the fault of the patriarchy or something that chicks don't consume comic book movies as much as dudes. Same with WNBA and women's soccer...nobody gives a shit and women don't have anywhere near the interest in watching sports that men do.

BINGO! This is the problem I have with the Harry Potter movies, too. They're all gods! What's the point?

I had the same problem with The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. She had freaking mental superpowers. Like, she had that total recall brain thing, and she knew literally everything about international banking, how companies are structured, whatever she needed to, uh, make the plot work.

Gods have a ridiculously unfair advantage, which makes them uninteresting in the end.

Horrible financial bomb despite only costing $20 million.
Posted by: TheJamesMadison

I suspect because a lot of those movies had 'investor' partners, they keep making crappy movies. The issue is sort of like Microsux--whatever good products that you may also sell get dragged under by the overwhelming stinky mass of your main product lines. Hollywood has made itself into a bad joke and painted itself into a corner toward cultural irrelevance.

Netflix was whining the other day about how audiences drop off tremendously after the first series and that affects renewals.

And the obvious answer is Netflix churns out crap that is lousier than the worst days of the studio system back in Hollywood's heyday.

Frankly, I rather watch either old movies, or read a book than consume the modern CGI and vapid modern movies. I'm done

Superheros were born in the Depression due to the need for cheap entertainment and made the jump from comic books into movies. And now are gagging due to crappy story lines, forgettable characters that blend into each other, and stupid bombastic movie music with lousy CGI effects. If anything CGI appears to have regressed rather than progressed, probably due to cheap ass labor H1Bs like other industries infected with that curse.

The only reason CGI got ahead is that it was cheaper at the time than hiring the IATSE based model, matte, and other movie magic types.

As for her comments to media, to me, she sounded like she was trying to answer vaguely, in a way that wouldn't piss off the queer interviewers (except for the "pissing off Christian dads comment, which is actually in line with the character).

Yeah. As a movie, not a great movie. Had a good concept but it was badly executed. The first five minutes were a good setup, and the last 5-10 minutes when he wastes the gang-rapists and the lead gang-rapist's whole family was rather satisfying. The rest was largely incoherent.

That's because there was actual scoring - 5 points.

Speaking of Emily Blunt. Please enlighten me as to why Hollywood thought it necessary to remake "Mary Poppins."

I don't dispute that there can be real distinctions, the problem is the idiotic systematic defining and diluting rape down to include all manners of nonsense like making an awkward pass at a sorority party.

I should have realized that Nolan wasn't nearly as smart as he thinks he is when he kept pulling out the Kubrick/Tarantino jumble-time cliche. It was magnificent in Memento, but it falls apart when it's your whole narrative schtick.

The IMAX camera saved Nolan's bacon. Without that single piece of equipment, he'd have been cast aside as a bloodless Tarantino clone long ago.
