‘Supergirl’ Starts Flight On Tracking With $55M+ U.S. Opening – Box Office

DC Studios and Warner Bros’ Supergirl arrived on three-week tracking Thursday morning with an outlook of $55M+ when it opens on June 26.

The campaign is just gearing up, with tickets going on sale Wednesday for the Craig Gillespie-directed feature take on Tom King and Bilquis Evely’s graphic novelSupergirl: Woman of Tomorrow.

Unaided awareness –the tracking category where pollsters cite awareness of a movie without being prompted — is pretty even among men and women under and over 25. Overall, unaided awareness is higher than Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu ($81.6M domestic opening), Thunderbolts* ($74.3M domestic opening) and Shazam! ($53.5M). Note that tracking hasn’t fully taken into account presales yet. House of the Dragon‘s Milly Alcock plays Supergirl. The latest trailer that dropped has a lot of Lobo in it, the new antihero role played by Aquaman star Jason Momoa.

The James Gunn- and Peter Safran-led DC Studios kicked off last summer with the former’s Superman, which opened to $125M and legged out to $354.2M domestic and $618.7M worldwide.

Also hitting tracking and opening against Supergirl is Paramount’s Jackass: Best and Last with a forecast of $13M. First choice currently is best with men under 25, and the pic is pacing slightly behind the previous installment, 2022’s Jackass Forever ($23.1M opening). The four coreJackassmovies combined have minted more than $416M around the globe. Paramount has a hit this weekend in Miramax’s Scary Movie, which looks to lead the domestic B.O. with $40M+.
