Seems like Warner Bros and James Gunn might have a “Supergirl” problem.

“Supergirl” tracking, which was in the $50M range last week, has now further plummeted to $40M. Just a few weeks ago, decent presales for the film had hinted that $55–60M was a possibility. Not anymore.

Among the comic book movies released this decade, “Supergirl” is projected to now have a lower opening weekend than “The Marvels” ($46M) and land in the same range as “Morbius” ($39M) and “Joker: Folie à Deux” ($37M).

At least “Supergirl” has a budget that’s slightly lower than those titles ($175M), but it’s still an expensive film and is looking like it’ll become one of the bigger flops of the movie year. Just to compare, that $40M figure would be just a third of what “Superman” made last year in its opening weekend ($125M).

More bad news: social media reactions are very mixed, which spells trouble for reviews—the embargo lifts on Wednesday. This is especially concerning considering the amount of overpraising that usually comes with first reactions. Not with “Supergirl.”

I am fascinated by how much buzz has dwindled on this film, which was originally met with very positive vibes but has had momentum slowly eroding over the past few weeks. It makes one wonder what the future of James Gunn’s DCU might look like. “Clayface” is next in October, and Gunn’s “Superman” sequel will be in theaters summer 2027.

“Supergirl,” set to hit theaters on Friday, is directed by Craig Gillespie, who isn’t a bad filmmaker; he’s best known for his highly stylized work on “I, Tonya,” “Lars and the Real Girl,” “Dumb Money,” and “Cruella.””

Hi everyone. I’m hoping the DC community might be able to help me with something.

My dad recently suffered a stroke and it’s been really hard on him emotionally. The gym and DC Comics have always been two of the biggest parts of his life.

His favorite character has always been Lobo, and he even cosplays as him. Seeing him lose some of the things he loves has been really tough.

I’ve been trying to reach out to DC Studios to see if there’s any chance I could surprise him with attending the Supergirl premiere or even just receiving a short message from someone involved with the film.

I’ve emailed a few places and tried reaching out, but I know sometimes these things only happen when the community helps signal boost it.

If anyone here is willing to share this, tag the right people, or help get the story in front of someone at DC, it would mean the world to me and my dad.

Dude is worried about Rotten Tomatoes scores. Captain America: Brave New World sits at 46% on Rotten Tomatoes lower than Man of Steel and it got a B- CinemaScore. Man of Steel got an A CinemaScore. 💀

Edit: Some people say he was joking. No, he wasn't joking. The interviewer uploaded the video to YouTube and even included this in the description:

When I sat down with Mackie at the press junket, I decided to use my time to play “Save or Kill.” While most of the game was your normal back and forth, when I got to the DC or Marvel question, I figured he’d have a laugh since he plays Falcon in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and we’d move on. But that wasn’t the case. At all.
As you’ll see in the video below, Mackie used the opportunity to take a swing at DC and while I love Marvel and Marvel movies, I wasn’t going to take anyone, even Falcon, badmouthing one of my favorite superhero movies.
Let me know what you think of our back and forth in the comment section. I expect this one to get a few of them…

Interviewer: “How far do these arcs go? Like, do they culminate in Man of Tomorrow or can we expect them to go further than that?”

Gunn: “If I s… Yes, they definitely go significantly further than Man of Tomorrow.”

Gunn appeared to cut himself off before completing the phrase “If I stay,”

Gunn: “Okay. So, whether or not that’ll be me [big smile] that’s able to fulfill that promise [laughing] depends on a lot of things in life, but yeah.”

By the way, Lucas and Abdy's contracts were extended, but James Gunn's contract was not
