Film in IMAX's 2026 slate
Warner Bros. removed a Supergirl featurette from YouTube hours after upload when fans noticed director Craig Gillespie scrolling through what appeared to be AI-generated concept art for Jason Momoa's Lobo. The film has grossed just $124 million globally against a $170 million budget, and creative clashes between Gillespie and DC Studios reportedly led to competing cuts before release.
Warner Bros.' Supergirl is forecasted to end its theatrical run with a substantial loss, potentially exceeding $100 million, after a disappointing opening weekend with only $68 million globally. The film's poor performance, coupled with mixed fan reactions and a crowded summer release schedule, contributes to the projected loss. Despite this, DC Studios remains confident in its broader strategy.
Supergirl, the latest in James Gunn's DCU, hits theaters with mixed reviews, praising Milly Alcock's performance as Kara Zor-El but criticizing the film's derivative and messy execution. Despite its action-packed narrative, Supergirl fails to match the uniqueness of its lead character, often feeling like a generic, VFX-driven blockbuster. Alcock's portrayal is the standout, making the movie worth watching amidst its shortcomings.
Milly Alcock, star of the live-action Supergirl series, shares her delightful reaction upon seeing her character's Fortnite skin. The collaboration brings the iconic DC heroine into the popular battle royale game. Alcock's response highlights the thrilling crossover between gaming and television.
In a surprise move, IMAX theaters will now prioritize Amazon MGM and Sony Pictures' live-action Masters of the Universe over the anticipated extended run of the latest Star Wars film, with tickets for the He-Man movie going on sale just a week before its June 5, 2026, release. This shift occurs despite Star Wars' shorter-than-expected IMAX performance, grossing $33.8 million globally. Masters of the Universe, directed by Travis Knight, will hit IMAX screens in 58 markets.
Clayface’s first teaser is gross, eerie, and promising. DC’s R-rated body-horror take could be the boldest swing in its new slate.
