Box office numbers for “Supergirl” look bleak after lead star Milly Alcock sparked backlash for mocking Christian dads.
According to Box Office Theory, the DC superhero movie — which comes out June 26 — is expected to make between $47 million and $65 million in its opening weekend and between $107 million and $181 million in its full domestic run.
The budget for the James Gunn-directed film was reportedly around $170 million, while the marketing spend is estimated to exceed $75 million, bringing the total to around $245 million.
To break even, “Supergirl” needs to make around $425 million worldwide

Just another leftist, POS ‘super’ movie, that’ll hopefully flop.
Don’t forget that critical lack of self-awareness they have along with their entitlement mentality.
Tearing down icons, destroying things is the easy thing to do. They can’t create, only smear and bring down to their level.

Though the Feral Kid from 'The Road Warrior' has entered the chat.
About 20 or 30 years ago, theater-going became a crazy experience with previews having 0.1 second cuts and flashing between white and black with thunderous explosions and noise. That cacophony could induce seizures.
I just watched the movie "The Fastest Gun Alive" (1956), a Western starring Glenn Ford. In it, a very young and extremely athletic Russ Tamblyn (then 21) performs a show-stopping acrobatic "shovel dance" during a barn dance scene. He grabs a shovel as a prop, flips, leaps, spins, balances on it, and treats it like a dance partner—it's incredibly energetic and impressive. And it appears to be one continuous take.
exactly. That’s her twin.
it seems that it’s a huge middle finger to America when they do
While I’m not completely thrilled with this actress or the look of this movie,
She really did not mock Christian dads. It’s my impression of watching some of her interviews that she’s not that bright and she doesn’t do a very good job of promoting the movie in general.
She didn't mock anyone. She insinuated (probably correctly) that critical social media posts were from fake accounts.
Don’t forget they also turned Thor into an alcoholic, a fat one. And they’ve gratuitously killed a lot of fan favorite characters.
I think it’s a very nihilistic generation. A lot of these writers and directors are overgrown nerdy kids who enjoy tearing down icons and trying to shock the audience.
Just can’t follow the Michael Jordon rule, don’t offend half your customers, but they can’t help it, maybe shoild have added something about “stolen land”😂
Yeah. Guilt tripping. That should help.
Shoulda cast Sidney Sweeney.
Just say, “See my movie, it’s great!”
That’s it! Is that so hard to do?
$170 million to make a movie??? You can’t even make a decent DHS commercial for $170 million. Am I right, Kristi Noem? Up high. ✋️
As Jiminy Cricket famously said:
the gay fashion designers and make up artists used to make women look beautiful. Now they try to make them look like men.
That's how I read it. I'm no fan of whoever this person is, but it's a nothingburger taken out of context. Just click-bait for people looking to feed their outrage addiction.
Guess they’re gonna find out the hard way it doesn’t pay to insult people, especially those of faith.
