Seems like it didn't break even, this publication in Deadline claims it's budget was around USD$180M. I haven't watched it yet but saw some videos saying its writing was very bad.

I tried watching it. It's a movie where Supergirl doesn't have powers, and she's a drunk. Not exactly exciting stuff.

I liked the film. The story is kind lf forgettable, but it is a nice one-time watch.

In general a film needs to make about 2 to 2.5 times its budget to be considered financially successful. Theaters take a cut of the reported box office numbers and marketing is a separate cost that has to be calculated. It's not an exact science, but Supergirl definitely underperformed.

In terms of critical reception I wouldn't say the writing is very bad, it's more frustrating how close it gets to almost being good. There is plenty of the film that's enjoyable, but then it just falls apart or shifts and you're left consfused, why is that what happened next? It's probably a 6/10 film, watchable, has some fun scenes, but ultimately forgettable.

i can only imagine someone thinking this if they watched the first like two minutes and then stopped watching before the opening scene finished what a fascinating take

So the movie title is two words and both are lies?

The plot made no sense. Enough with DCUs drunk superheroes.

How does the plot make no sense? Did we watch the same movie?

They same way supergirl overcame the villain's poison somehow could not work on her dog.
The reason why the villain is doing things villainous wasn't even attempted.
Jason Mamoa ...why, just why.

People who defend garbage writing should stick to Star Trek conspiracies about why no one is watching those awful Star Trek series.

Expecting anyone to watch this entire film is a reach. But, no, you're right, the movie was so good no one watched it, and it didn't get massively outperformed by a Youtuber with no budget.

"This movie sucks. I can't wait to watch two more minutes of it...".

Why would someone watch more of a boring movie?

Because you can not decide if a movie is boring if you only watch 2 minutes.

That is like reading the first paragraph of a book and saying the whole book is bad.

Honestly just comes off like you decided to have beef with the movie.

She ingested it and then I'm pretty sure vomited it back up. Kypto was injected with it. Any drug works the same. He's also trapped under a red sun and entirely depowered.

They're space pirates. They were literally kidnapping girls to be their brides? What reasons do you want a whole backstory of traumatic childhood? They're space pirates.

Mamoa was a good Lobo. I swear every comic book movie is either "there aren't enough characters" or "there are too many characters".

Movie was fine, solid superhero movie and all criticism you have about it are the same criticisms about any Superman storyline from the last 30 years.

I liked it. And having PTSD after your whole world is destroyed makes sense.

Yes, I set a timer for 2 minutes and stopped the movie there...
