The brief
The latest DC Universe film, *Supergirl*, starring Milly Alcock, opens with modest box office ambitions of $50 million, while *Jackass Forever* targets a $10 million debut. Critics have delivered mixed-to-negative reviews, with *Variety* calling the film "so flat it’s super-horrendous" and *Forbes* labeling its Rotten Tomatoes score a "DCU disappointment." Coverage emphasizes the film’s uneven reception, particularly its struggle to escape *Superman*’s shadow. *CNET* notes its "solid" follow-up status but highlights a lack of standout elements, while the *San Francisco Chronicle* praises Alcock’s performance amid a "dystopian" but flawed narrative. *Variety*’s box office preview frames both films as underdogs against *Toy Story 5*’s record-breaking dominance.
Watch for early weekend box office reports to gauge audience response. If reviews hold, *Supergirl* may face challenges in sustaining momentum beyond its opening. *Jackass*’ lower target reflects its niche appeal, but franchise history suggests potential for word-of-mouth growth.
