The latest DCU installment, Supergirl, has underperformed at the box office despite being a decent film. The movie, written by Ana Nogueira and directed by Craig Gillespie, is a reimagined project after James Gunn and Peter Safran took over the DCU.
The film's disappointing opening weekend is attributed to the oversaturated superhero market, where only great movies can draw audiences to theaters.
With mixed reviews and online troll attacks, Supergirl's performance is a setback for Warner Bros., which had hoped for a stronger follow-up to last year's Superman.
