AceShowbiz - Supergirl lands on HBO Max September 10 with an ASL version, marking the DC film's streaming debut after a theatrical run that ended August 5. The movie will also premiere on the HBO linear channel on September 12 at 8 p.m. ET, offering multiple viewing options for audiences worldwide.

The film opened in theaters on June 26, 2024, earning $37.1 million domestically in its opening weekend and grossing $126.4 million globally. Despite this, it became the lowest-grossing DC movie to date. With an estimated production cost of about $170 million, the film faced a significant theatrical loss. Warner Bros. Discovery reported a sharp decline in studio profits for Q2 2024, partly linked to the movie’s underperformance. Critically, Supergirl holds a 53% rating on Rotten Tomatoes from 372 reviews, while audiences have responded more favorably with a 72% score on Popcornmeter based on over 5,000 ratings.

Supergirl is a DC Studios project produced by Warner Bros. Pictures, directed by Craig Gillespie with a screenplay by Ana Nogueira based on Tom King’s comic Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow. The film stars Milly Alcock as Kara, alongside Jason Momoa as Lobo, whose character design incorporated AI technology. The cast also includes Matthias Schoenaerts, Eve Ridley, David Krumholtz, Emily Beecham, Alice Hewkin, Ferdinand Kingsley, Wil Coban, and David Corenswet.

This HBO Max release represents a strategic move for DC Studios to bolster its streaming presence following the film’s theatrical challenges. Offering an American Sign Language version also signals a commitment to accessibility, potentially expanding the movie’s reach and engagement. The rollout on both streaming and linear TV platforms underlines a multifaceted approach to maximize audience exposure and support the ongoing development of the DC franchise.
