In a setback for Warner Bros.' revamped DC movie operations, 'Supergirl' opened a distant second to 'Toy Story 5' at the box office over the weekend of June 26-28, 2026. According to studio estimates, 'Toy Story 5' earned $120 million in its debut, while 'Supergirl' managed only $45 million.
The Pixar sequel's opening was near-record for an animated film, though it fell short of the $154 million debut of 'Inside Out 2' in 2024. 'Supergirl' faced mixed reviews, with a 62% score on Rotten Tomatoes, compared to 'Toy Story 5's 88%.
Industry analysts noted that 'Supergirl' struggled to attract audiences beyond core DC fans, while 'Toy Story 5' drew families and nostalgic adults. The film's performance raises questions about the future of DC's superhero slate under new leadership.
