ANOTHER WOKE FLOP: New ‘Supergirl’ Movie on Track to Lose a Stunning $100 Million

The new ‘Supergirl’ movie is failing hard at the box office and is currently on track to lose a mind-boggling $100 million.

It seems like Hollywood will never learn.

Millions of Americans are already tired of the never-ending stream of superhero movies that studios churn out year after year, but when you then inject wokeism into the story and the stars of the films make public statements that offend half of the country, you’ve got a real recipe for failure.

Even liberal entertainment outlets are admitting that ‘Supergirl’ is a dud.

From Variety:

In “Supergirl,” a melodramatic cover of Jimmy Eat World’s “The Middle” scores a climactic battle sequence, with the song’s lyrics meant to offer encouragement to the plucky heroine: “Hey, don’t write yourself off yet…”

Yet the initial box office results for “Supergirl” would suggest that audiences are, in fact, writing off the film — and continuing to reject lesser-known comic book protagonists. The Warner Bros. and DC Studios adaptation, which centers on Superman’s cousin Kara Zor-El, misfired with $37.1 million in North America and $62.6 million globally in its opening weekend. Monday’s final tally was below Sunday’s estimate of $38 million domestically and $68 million worldwide. After launching below expectations, the big-budget film is shaping up to be a money loser for the studio, as well as a major setback for the newly rebooted DC Universe…

“Supergirl” is projected to stall at a lifetime gross of $100 million domestically and $200 million to $210 million globally. If the movie reaches those metrics (and that would require a decent hold), “Supergirl” stands to lose $100 million to $120 million in its theatrical run, according to sources with knowledge of the economics of similar films. A source familiar with the financials of “Supergirl” believe the losses will be closer to $80 million to $85 million, assuming that worldwide ticket sales reach at least $200 million.

Warner Bros. faces an even larger write-down should “Supergirl” fail to hit $200 million by the time the film leaves the big screen. It’s the second notable flop in 2026 for Warner Bros. following this spring’s “The Bride!” which flatlined with $23 million worldwide against a $90 million budget.

Maybe the studio should have told the star of the film not to attack Christian fathers for no reason.

The studio and some media outlets have tried to blame misogyny for the movie’s failure but that has NOTHING to do with it.

All Hollywood has to do is tell good stories without insulting half or more of the country and they just can’t seem to do it.
