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.
A slate of reviews and box-office numbers show Supergirl has opened modestly, prompting DC Studios to reassess momentum and direction for its evolving DC Universe. Critics highlight pacing and tonal decisions, while Milly Alcock’s performance is noted as a potential future asset.
