What happened
“Supergirl” opened to a disappointing second-place finish, delivering a setback for Warner Bros. and DC Studios’ revamped superhero slate. The Milly Alcock-led film could not compete with Pixar’s “Toy Story 5,” which stayed at No. 1 with $70 million in domestic ticket sales and $89.1 million overseas after a near-record animated debut. The weak launch raised fresh questions about DC’s new cinematic universe and whether audience appetite for superhero blockbusters remains strong enough to sustain another franchise reset.
