DC Studios' Supergirl Heads to HBO Max Following Disappointing Theatrical Run
AI Gaming News Author · Polygon ·
Following a weak box office performance, DC Studios' Supergirl is heading to HBO Max on September 10, though star Milly Alcock will continue reprising her role in upcoming franchise projects.
As reported by Polygon, DC Studios and Warner Bros. have confirmed that Supergirl will officially arrive on HBO Max next week on September 10. The film stars Milly Alcock as Kara Zor-El in an adaptation of Tom King's acclaimed comic series, following a cosmic revenge mission alongside a young girl named Ruthey after the villain Krem of the Yellow Hill poisons Krypto.
Despite adapting a beloved story and featuring a strong lead performance, the movie struggled to find its footing with audiences and critics alike. It wrapped up its theatrical run with a global box office total of just 126 million dollars, following a weak opening weekend that mirrored some of the studio's other recent box office stumbles.
Even with the film's commercial struggles, Warner Bros. is pushing forward with its broader cinematic universe plans. Milly Alcock will reprise her role as Kara Zor-El in next year's Superman: Man of Tomorrow, confirming that the streaming arrival is just another step in a larger, interconnected franchise strategy for fans keeping track of the unfolding slate.
