DC Studios co-CEO Peter Safran says he remains “confident” in the DCU’s strategy despite the performance of *Supergirl*, which has not met reported box office expectations. Multiple outlets report that Safran acknowledged the film’s debut underwhelmed relative to expectations for the Warner Bros.-backed release. Deadline reports that *Supergirl* is not meeting “box office expectations” in connection with its reported $175 million budget, citing Safran’s comments following the film’s premiere. ComingSoon.net similarly frames Safran’s response as a defense of the studio’s broader plan, emphasizing that DC Studios is not changing course based on the film’s opening weekend results.
The coverage centers on Safran’s effort to address concerns about the film’s financial performance while reinforcing that there are additional projects planned for DC moviegoers. The reports do not provide detailed adjustments to release strategy or specific new milestones, focusing instead on Safran’s message that the DCU’s direction remains intact despite the current commercial reception.
