A new report suggests that the upcoming ‘Supergirl’ movie is on track to lose around $200 million, with pre-release tracking data indicating a disappointing opening weekend. The film’s star, Milly Alcock, has been making headlines for her comments on the press tour, which some have found divisive.

Controversy Surrounds ‘Supergirl’ Star

Alcock implied in a March interview that she had faced criticism for being a woman starring as a female superhero. She later doubled down on her comments, saying that critics were ‘proving her point.’ The remarks sparked a negative reaction, with some accusing her of being unlikable and divisive.

The film’s trailer has also been criticized for being unoriginal and uninteresting. With an estimated $250 million production and marketing budget, ‘Supergirl’ needs to perform well at the box office to break even. However, with the current tracking data, it seems unlikely that the movie will reach its target.

Box Office Projections

Box Office Theory estimates that ‘Supergirl’ could open to around $39-51 million, which is a significant decrease from the initial estimates of $65 million. This would put the total domestic gross in the $100-108 million range, resulting in a substantial loss for Warner Bros. and DC Studios.
