Supergirl Movie A "Girl Boss" Bomb With Disastrous Opening Weekend
There's no more excuses. Filming for James Gunn's Supergirl summer blockbuster started in January of 2025, with most of the US celebrating the defeat of woke politics and the downfall of DEI. There was no confusion in 2025; woke is dead. Gunn was well aware and decided to make an insufferable feminist "girl boss" movie anyway.
In other words, his failure is his own fault. Either due to hubris, stupidity, or both.
Initial projections for Supergirl a month ago hovered around $70 million for opening weekend. These estimates were already low and the panic within Warner Bros. was palpable. DC Studios was already on its ass for the less than stellar performance of Gunn's Superman, which was supposed to revitalize the comic book movie landscape.
After theaters took their 50% cut of the receipts, Superman barely broke even on paper, though initial data suggests it fell actually short by $42 million before other indirect revenues were counted. This was, once again, largely due to Gunn's moronic insertion of immigration politics into discussion, which repelled audiences.
If Superman couldn't bring in enough fans to make real money, then Supergirl had no chance. Then, the lead actress opened her mouth and started talking, and this was the last nail in the coffin for the release. After Milly Alcock started spewing feminist nonsense in interviews and attacking fans, it was all over.
"It definitely made me aware that simply existing as a woman in that space is something that people comment on," she told Vanity Fair in an interview a few months before release. "We have become very comfortable having this weird ownership of women’s bodies. I can’t really stop them. I can only be myself."
Alcock went on to accuse fans of more sexism when they criticized here strange comments. She then later suggested that Supergirl is LGBT in an effort to virtue signal for gay pride month.

Clearly, people are tired of leftists inserting LGBT sexual preferences into every film and TV show, because Supergirl's numbers plummeted not long after Alcock's interviews. The flick only brought in $38 million on opening weekend - Half of the expected revenues. And, keep in mind, theaters still have to take their profits.
The movie will need to make approximately $500 million to break even, which sets up Supergirl as possibly the biggest failure in DC movie history. Beyond Alcock and Gunn, the production was also constructed around the framework provided by a writer with no experience (Ana Noguiera) and referenced a comic run by Tom King, a former CIA officer and leftist. Anyone with any sense could have seen the disaster coming a hundred miles away.

The lesson is this: Leftists never learn. Until the majority of people in Hollywood finally age out or get replaced with smarter (and more conservative) writers, there is little chance of a dramatic return to form. They will continue to double down until the industry completely collapses. Or, until a new and alternative industry rises to fill the vacuum.
In the meantime, Get Woke, Go Broke dominates popular culture. The progressive invasion is not gone, but they are certainly in decline.

- • Supergirl earned only $38 million domestically, failing to meet the $50–$70 million projection.
- • Lead actress Milly Alcock sparked backlash by promoting feminist rhetoric and bisexual character traits.
- • The film faces a massive deficit, needing $500 million to break even on a $250 million investment.
James Gunn attempted to revitalize DC Studios with a film rooted in progressive themes despite a shifting political landscape. The production relied on leftist writers and themes that alienated traditional audiences.
Christian Perspective
The film's attempt to normalize bisexual identity and feminist rebellion directly contradicts the biblical design for gender and marriage. Hollywood continues to prioritize cultural degeneracy over the moral truths that sustain a healthy society. This failure proves that audiences are rejecting the subversion of natural order.
Implications
The collapse of such high budget projects shows that the progressive invasion of media is hitting a wall of resistance. As these institutions fail, Christian families must lead the way in creating alternative media that upholds biological reality and traditional values. We must stop funding the destruction of our culture through our entertainment choices.
Broader Trends
This box office bomb confirms the "Get Woke, Go Broke" reality as the era of DEI dominance begins to crumble. The decline of these films mirrors the broader political movement to reclaim American institutions from globalist and leftist influence. Hollywood's refusal to adapt to the post-woke era will likely lead to its total economic collapse.
Takeaway
Support creators who respect the patriarchal family and the biological binary of male and female. Use your economic power to starve the industries that promote social decay and virtue signaling. Build and fund a new American media landscape that celebrates our heritage and Godly principles.
