#Supergirl stands to lose $100 million after opening to just $68 million worldwide.
The DC Studios tentpole cost $170 million to produce and roughly $120 million to market. A source close to “Supergirl” says the movie would need to gross $300 million to break even at the box office. Some project the film's losses will be closer to $80 million if ticket sales can manage to hit $200 million.
“This was always going to be a tough hurdle for DC and Warner Bros. because Supergirl isn’t a character that has ever created an event-level blockbuster,” says analyst Jeff Bock of Exhibitor Relations. “Audience perception of ‘Supergirl’ was not good. This is just a case of the film wasn’t good enough to become an event.”

@Biswana50272932@spicebands That was entirely Mercedes engineering departments fault. They thought the no side pod concept was the way to go if they got it right, but they didn't and was set back years in development. Lewis also stated numerous times that Mercedes never listened to him.
