Warner Bros weighing early digital release for Supergirl after 74% second‑weekend box‑office plunge

Warner Bros. has not announced a digital release date for “Supergirl,” but online box-office and fan sites reported this week that the studio is moving the film toward home release sooner than usual after a steep second-weekend decline. Bam Smack Pow reported on July 9 that Warner Bros. was planning an early digital rollout, while JoBlo said industry reports pointed to a July 28 premium-video-on-demand debut. Warner Bros. had not posted a public confirmation as of Thursday. The Numbers and Box Office Mojo both continued to list the film in theatrical release, with updated gross totals and release details. ### How far has “Supergirl” fallen at the box office? The Numbers listed “Supergirl” at $60.4 million domestic, $43.4 million international and $103.8 million worldwide as of July 9. The site also listed a $37.1 million domestic opening weekend and a $170 million production budget. Box Office Mojo showed the same $37.1 million domestic opening and named Warner Bros. as the domestic distributor. (the-numbers.com) MSN and other entertainment outlets said the film fell about 74% in its second weekend, one of the sharpest drops cited in coverage of the release. JoBlo separately referred to a 73% second-weekend drop in its box-office reporting this week. Those figures circulated as sites began discussing a shortened theatrical window. (the-numbers.com) ### Where is the early digital-release talk coming from? Bam Smack Pow said on July 9 that Warner Bros. appeared to be accelerating the film’s home-window schedule, though it did not cite a studio statement announcing a date. JoBlo reported two days earlier that “industry reports suggest” a July 28 digital debut, again without citing an official Warner Bros. release notice. ComicBook.com also reported that release chatter, saying an early move to home platforms would make it one of the fastest theatrical-to-home turns for a DC title if it happens. (msn.com) Yahoo’s entertainment coverage, which aggregated the same rumor cycle, said the date being discussed was July 28 and noted that Warner Bros. Discovery had not confirmed it. That leaves the reported schedule in the category of trade chatter and secondary reporting, rather than a studio-announced release plan. (joblo.com) ### What has Warner Bros. actually confirmed? Warner Bros. has confirmed only the film’s theatrical release details on the major box-office trackers cited here. The Numbers listed the domestic wide release date as June 26, 2026, and Box Office Mojo listed June 24, 2026 as the earliest release date in APAC and June 26 in domestic release. Neither tracker listed a digital purchase or rental date in the material reviewed Thursday. (yahoo.com) FandomWire and MovieWeb, in separate release-window explainers, also said no official streaming or digital date had been announced by Warner Bros. as of their latest updates. Both described any timing estimate as an inference from prior Warner Bros. release patterns rather than a confirmed schedule. ### Why are box-office trackers part of this story? (the-numbers.com) The Numbers now has a dedicated financial page for “Supergirl,” including domestic, international and worldwide grosses, opening-weekend data and production-budget information. That page has become a reference point in coverage of the film’s theatrical performance because it updates cumulative totals while rumors about the digital window continue. (fandomwire.com) Box Office Mojo’s title page is also still updating territory-by-territory results, including domestic totals and overseas openings. Those listings matter because Warner Bros. has not yet published a digital-release announcement, leaving trackers and secondary reports as the main public markers of what the film is earning in theaters. ### What happens next if Warner Bros. shortens the window? (the-numbers.com) July 28 is the date cited by JoBlo and repeated in other entertainment coverage as the possible premium-video-on-demand target for “Supergirl.” Warner Bros. had not confirmed that date on July 9, and The Numbers and Box Office Mojo were still carrying the film as a current theatrical release with updated grosses.
