Supergirl Box Office Day 20: Adds $539,877 as Domestic Total Hits $68 Million

Milly Alcock's Supergirl Stumbles Out of the Gate

Milly Alcock's debut as the Girl of Steel has hit serious turbulence at the box office. The real alarm bell sounded in its second weekend, however, as the film suffered one of the biggest second-weekend drops for any DC movie ever made, plummeting a staggering amount and signaling a severe lack of audience staying power.

A Costly Journey for Vengeance and Justice

The film, directed by Craig Gillespie, is a 108-minute action-adventure sci-fi epic. The premise finds Kara Zor-El, aka Supergirl, forced into an unlikely alliance when a ruthless adversary attacks her home. This sets her on an interstellar journey driven by vengeance and the pursuit of justice.

Alcock leads a cast that includes Eve Ridley as her companion Ruthye, Matthias Schoenaerts as the antagonist Krem, and Jason Momoa making a splash as the fan-favorite antihero Lobo. The supporting roles are filled by David Krumholtz and Emily Beecham as Supergirl's Kryptonian parents, Zor-El and Alura In-Ze, with David Corenswet appearing as Superman and Kadiff Kirwan as Bomar Vran.

The Financial Reality of a Box Office Letdown

The film is currently playing in 2,584 theaters.
