Toy Story 5 has opened to record franchise returns, grossing roughly $312m worldwide and dominating ticket sales. Low‑budget horror films made by online creators — notably Obsession, Backrooms and Iron Lung — have posted surprise gains. By contrast, DCilms' Supergirl has underperformed, opening far below studio expectations and drawing poor reviews.
Supergirl has opened to disappointing box office figures, prompting DC Studios to reassess its plans. Critics have praised Milly Alcock’s performance but criticize pacing, tone, and ambition. The film expands DCU’s reach with space-set adventures while raising questions about future direction and character use.
