‘Supergirl’ Arrives in Second Place at the Box Office, With ‘Toy Story 5’ Holding No. 1

Milly Alcock headlines the Warner Bros. and DC Studios superhero feature, debuting just behind Pixar’s ‘Toy Story 5’ as audience demand continues to set the pace for the summer movie slate.

2 min readEditor-approved Apex article

Warner Bros. and DC Studios’ “Supergirl,” starring Milly Alcock, landed in second place at the box office as “Toy Story 5” remained number one, according to The Hollywood Reporter’s box office reporting for the weekend of June 27, 2026.

The report characterizes “Supergirl” as arriving on the heels of last summer’s “Superman,” positioning the new title within a broader DC-branded release cycle that follows the performance of the studio’s earlier superhero entry.

For “Supergirl,” Alcock’s casting as the lead is highlighted as a central part of the film’s promotional and audience draw, with the title framed as a continuation of the character’s presence in mainstream theatrical releases.

Warner Bros. and DC Studios, the studios behind the film, are using a major franchise structure to sustain momentum at a time when multiple high-profile releases are competing for weekend audiences across the United States and other markets tracked by industry reporting.

With “Toy Story 5” staying on top, “Supergirl’s” second-place start points to a competitive gap rather than a collapse in ticket demand for Warner/DC, the kind of outcome studios typically seek when balancing production and marketing costs against opening-weekend performance.

The Hollywood Reporter’s ranking also reflects how quickly audiences appear willing to move between established family franchises and new superhero offerings, an important consideration for distributors scheduling follow-on weeks for the films.

Next steps for the films will depend on week-to-week hold strength, theater counts, and audience response in subsequent reporting periods, particularly as “Supergirl” continues its run directly behind an ongoing Pixar release.

Why It Matters

  • Weekend rankings shape how studios and theater operators manage screen allocations in the days that follow major openings.
  • The outcome provides a near-term read on audience interest in a new DC-led theatrical release immediately after a previous “Superman” title.
  • Second-place openings can influence marketing emphasis and distribution decisions for subsequent weeks, even when another family franchise holds the top spot.
  • The continued dominance of “Toy Story 5” underscores the role of established family franchises in setting overall summer box office demand.
