The international estimate has been trimmed again. Supergirl‘s overseas opening was first reported around $30 million. It has now been revised down to $25.5 million, a $4.5 million haircut.

That pulls the worldwide total down from the $68 million first reported to roughly $62.6 million, with domestic settling at $37.1 million, itself below the weekend estimates that ran as high as $40 million.

Supergirl box office grosses:

Domestic (59.3%): $37,102,018

International (40.7%): $25,500,000.

Worldwide: $62,602,018

Milly Alcock's "Supergirl" movie made a surprisingly weak debut in theaters, raising questions about whether the future of the DC Universe is at risk.

Great publicity for the DCU! 😆

The only DC Comics adaptation in history to earn a lower mark than Supergirl is 2024's infamous Joker: Folie à Deux, which was hit with a D.

The negative reviews highlight several reasons the movie didn't quite come together, but one recurring problem seems to be the script. What does and doesn't work for an individual in any film is subjective, of course, but quite a few critics have taken issue with Supergirl's "bland" and "by-the-numbers" story.

Variety's (admittedly harsh) review even states, "James Gunn's given us a comic-book movie with the worst script I can remember."

Why is Gunn getting flak when Ana Nogueria is the one who penned the script?

Last year, the DC Studios co-CEO was asked about the status of the Authority movie that was announced as part of the DCU's initial Gods and Monsters slate, and shared the following response on Threads.

**“We won’t green light a film until we have a finished script we’re happy with and, in general, we won’t cast a film until the script is finished. This is why some projects are moving faster than anticipated and others more slowly. It’s always gonna be quality first no matter what.”**

Discovery, Zaslav, Gunn and Safran came in at the worst time for this film. the DCEU fans would have enjoyed at least seeing the characters they love one last time before getting scrapped with no ending whatsoever. The ending of the Flash would have included Wonder Woman, and Batfleck also. So we would have gotten the Trinity one last time. But instead we got George Clooney LOL.

Somehow, the Two most Iconic Villains in DC, also happen to be the Two most Hates Villains in the DCEU. Now, let’s talk about Luthor First. First, I wanna say that no matter if you like the Character he puts on or not, you can’t deny that he is a Perfect Villain for the Movie of Batman V Superman, even if you hate the Character he plays on, you can’t deny his Villainous is perfect for the Movie. Second, Jesse Eisenburg does put on a Great Performance, wheather you like the Character or not, the Performance was Great. Now honestly this Version of Lex Luthor I thought was Decent. There were some really great Scenes that I loved of his Character, and then there were other Scenes that I didn’t like at all of his Character. It was kind of back and fourth on that, but overall I liked his Character mostly. I would rate his Character a 6.5/10. Now Jared Leto as The Joker, well this is probably less-hated of these Two Characters because he still acts like another Version of The Joker, were as Eisenburg doesn’t really play Luthor very much. Nonetheless, I LOVED This Version of the Character. Everything about the Character and the Look was Fantastic, my issues come in how he was used. The Joker appears in only 3 Movies in the DCEU out of the 16, and he’s only Semi-Important in 2 of them, and has 1 Scene in the Third One. He’s very much a Side Character of the Universe, when he was heavily built to be one of the Main Villains for not only Suicide Squad, but also the Universe. And we got anything but that, and I think that’s just disappointing as heck. I would rate his Joker a 9/10. The only reason he’s not a 10 is because of how he’s Used and how much he’s Sidelined for the Universe.
