‘Supergirl’ opens to significantly weaker box-office results than ‘Toy Story 5,’ according to reports citing early weekend figures. Multiple outlets describe ‘Supergirl’ as failing to challenge the Pixar release, which remains in the No. 1 position after a strong animated-movie debut. One source, citing an AP dateline, says ‘Toy Story 5’ posts about $70 million over the weekend and holds the top spot, while ‘Supergirl’ settles into a distant second.
The articles frame the outcome as a setback for Warner Bros. and its revamped DC movie operations, though they focus primarily on the comparative performance at the box office rather than on broader industry implications. Coverage also emphasizes that the ‘Supergirl’ opening is lower than expected, with one outlet comparing it to the opening performance of an earlier, widely criticized Marvel film.
Overall, the sources agree on the central point: ‘Toy Story 5’ leads the box office with a near-record opening for an animated movie, and ‘Supergirl’ underperforms in its debut weekend.
