Peter Safran says ‘Supergirl didn’t live up to expectations’ considering box office performance |
‘Supergirl’ didn’t do well at the box office, earning much less than expected over the weekend. Peter Safran, the studio’s chairman and chief executive officer, spoke of the weak performance.“While ‘Supergirl’ did not meet our box office expectations, it is just one part of a larger, long-term strategy at DC Studios that we remain committed to,” Safran said in an interview with the New York Times.
Early comparison of box office versus actual performance
Early projections had the film grossing just under $55 million from Friday through Sunday at the domestic box office, according to the New York Times. However, a weak start to the weekend, opening to $18.2 million, lowered forecasts as the week progressed. The final worldwide gross of $68 million fell short of expectations and revised estimates for the film’s opening weekend.
More studios and more to come
‘Supergirl’ represents the second film in the rebooted universe, following ‘Superman’. The studio’s third installment is slated for October and will include the blockbuster physical horror film ‘Clayface’, marking a turnaround for the upcoming budget.
