The Hollywood film Supergirl, starring Milly Alcock in the lead role, had a disappointing start at the Indian box office. The film also features Jason Momoa, David Corenswet, Matthias Schoenaerts, Eve Ridley, David Krumholtz, and Emily Beecham in important roles. Despite the popular cast, the movie collected only Rs. 5.5 crore during its first 3 days in India.
The film opened with a collection of Rs. 2 crore on its first day. Usually, films that start with this kind of opening are expected to show strong growth over the weekend. Based on its opening, Supergirl was expected to collect around Rs. 7 crore to Rs. 9 crore by the end of its first weekend. However, the film could not maintain that pace and finished the weekend with Rs. 5.5 crore, which is lower than expected.
One of the reasons for the slow box office performance appears to be the mixed response from audiences. While some viewers appreciated the film, others felt it did not meet expectations. This mixed reaction may have affected its collections during the weekend.
Looking at the current trend, Supergirl is expected to finish its entire run in India with around Rs. 10 crore if there is no major improvement in ticket sales over the coming days. If the collections continue at the same pace, the film may end its theatrical run below expectations at the Indian box office.
Hollywood films have generally performed well in India this year. Several releases that were not expected to become major hits managed to attract audiences and perform strongly. Films such as Project Hail Mary, The Mummy directed by Lee Cronin, Obsession, The Devil Weds Prada 2, and Michael received encouraging responses and performed better than expected.
However, the recent releases Toy Story 5 and Supergirl have not been able to continue that positive trend. Both films have recorded lower than expected collections in India despite being well known international releases.
The coming weekdays will be important for Supergirl. A steady performance could help improve its overall collection, but the film will need stronger audience support to achieve better box office numbers. As of now, its opening weekend suggests that it has had a slow start in the Indian market compared to expectations.
