James Gunn LOSES IT As Supergirl Got HORRIBLE Ratings!? WORST Ever!!

Supergirl (2026) box office and reviews explained: how the second DC Universe movie became the lowest-rated film in the DCU and lost its opening weekend to Toy Story 5. This video breaks down the underwhelming theatrical debut of Supergirl, the follow-up to James Gunn and Peter Safran's Superman and the second feature in DC Studios' rebooted DC Universe. It walks through the soft box office numbers, the critical reviews, the broken "script first" promise Gunn built his reputation on, and why disappointed fans have a documented case rather than an unreasonable one. The analysis covers budget and break-even math, the viral needle-drop controversy, and why superhero fatigue does not explain the result. It also makes the case that the failure rests on choices the studio controlled rather than on lead actress Milly Alcock. What's covered in this video: • The box office numbers, including the June 26, 2026 opening, 7.8 million dollars in domestic previews, a 13 million dollar global opening day, and a roughly 40 million dollar domestic debut across 3,602 theaters that landed on the floor trackers like Box Office Theory and Box Office Pro had called. • How projections from Deadline and Variety slid from north of 55 million down toward 47 to 50, while the film opened beneath The Marvels, The Flash, Morbius, and Birds of Prey, and lost the weekend to Toy Story 5's projected 74 million second frame. • The reviews, including a Rotten Tomatoes critics' score settling near 57 percent, a Metacritic score of 49 from 38 reviews, and the film becoming the DCU's first rotten rating below Creature Commandos, Peacemaker, and Superman. • Owen Gleiberman's viral Variety review headlined "Super-Horrendous," which called it the worst script he can remember, renamed its punk-rock attitude a "punk crock," and dismissed the villain Krem as a Mad Max reject. • Additional negative reviews from The Hollywood Reporter, Vulture's Alison Willmore, the Associated Press, Alonso Duralde of The Film Verdict, and The Wrap, alongside positive three-star takes from Peter Bradshaw of The Guardian, David Fear of Rolling Stone, and Leila Latif of Empire. • The broken promise that DC would not begin production until a script was solid, and the detail that Supergirl is the first DCU project Gunn did not write, scripted instead by Ana Nogueira with Gunn as producer and gatekeeper who approved it. • The fan backlash, centered on a climactic cover of Jimmy Eat World's "The Middle" widely called one of the worst needle drops ever recorded. • The adaptation complaint that the film flattens Tom King and Bilquis Evely's comic Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, recasting Kara Zor-El as a hard-drinking loner, plus Nogueira's claim to Rolling Stone that she wrote three separate scripts at Gunn's request. • The audience response, with a Rotten Tomatoes audience score near 77 percent that reads as soft against Superman's 90, though above The Flash, Shazam: Fury of the Gods, and Joker: Folie à Deux. • The money breakdown, including a net production cost cited between 170 and 186 million dollars, more than 80 promotional tie-ins with Ulta, KFC, and Cold Stone Creamery, break-even estimates from 315 to 437 million, and a reported 300 million win threshold from Warner Bros. • The argument that fatigue is not the cause, since Milly Alcock's first leading role after House of the Dragon drew near-universal praise, placing blame on the script, direction, villain, and tone. • The wrap-up noting Alcock returns in Man of Tomorrow next year and that Peter Safran has confirmed a major DCU role for the character going forward.
