Tickets for DC Studios’ “Supergirl” film went on sale yesterday, and already numbers are coming in that are raising eyebrows.
Deadline reports that the film has hit tracking with at least a $55 million opening on the cards. That would put in the same sort of ballpark as “The Flash” and “X-Men: First Class”.
That said, presales are suggesting the numbers could go higher with some suggesting up to $75 million. Unaided awareness of the film is higher than “Thunderbolts” or “The Mandalorian and Grogu”.
The figures come as the trade also reported that the film has a net production budget of $175 million before global P&A spend, and they further claim the break-even mark for the film stands at a surprisingly low $315 million worldwide.
Speaking with Games Radar, director Craig Gillespie discussed the comparisons being made between this and “Guardians of the Galaxy”:
“I don’t think I can avoid it. We’re in that arena, but it’s a space I’ve always played in. There’s only so many space movies. And we’re in the superhero universe, with that dance of humor and darkness and drama, which I love.”
He also indicates he and DC Studios chief James Gunn had disagreements but “it was great to have more of a director than a studio head” to bounce ideas off. He adds: “You can just roll the sleeves up and have a healthy debate. It would get into the tiniest things… music choices… that sort of push and pull.”
It’s also been revealed that Jason Momoa’s Lobo appears in only about 15% of the film, and his character has encountered Superman several times before the events of this film.
“Supergirl” opens in cinemas on June 26th.
