Supergirl becomes DC’s biggest flop since Catwoman in 2004

As of this past weekend, Supergirl has made $108 million globally and would need $22 million more to even match DC's poor release of "Blue Beetle," which brought in $130 million during its 2023 release.

However, even with Catwoman earning just $82 million in 2004, adjusted for inflation, the 2004 movie would beat out Supergirl's $108 earnings at around $149 million, per Forbes. There was around $170 million spent on the net production cost of the movie, not taking into account any advertising or promotion cost, which would land total cost just around $300 million.

With bringing in just over $100 million, "Supergirl" is headed for some major losses for the DC enterprise. The low performance comes after actress Milly Alcock, who starred as Kara Zor-El in the film, made multiple "woke” comments ahead of the movie's release.

Alcock told the Associated Press that the film is "beautiful" because it is "not centered around a man." She also speculated on the sexuality of her character, saying that she could "go both ways."

"I’ve had a few people ask me about [Kara] because it’s Pride Month... she’s a really great representation of what a modern woman can be,” Alcock told reporters. After facing backlash for some of her previous comments, Alcock dismissed concerns over her starring in the film, saying that she was seeing backlash mostly from "Christian dads."

“[A] lot of people whose profiles have no photo, who are burner accounts. Or someone’s name and then ‘Dad of four, Christian,’ which is hilarious to me,” she said of the backlash. "But I mean, whose opinion do you really care about? "If you’re p*ssing the right kind of people off, you’re doing OK."
