Supergirl flies high but she is no match for a group of talking toys.
Milly Alcock's debut as the Girl of Steel takes second place as Toy Story 5 keeps its grip on the top spot.
Even a hero with the power of the sun can't always win against the power of old friends.
WHAT HAPPENED
DC Studios just released their newest movie, 'Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow.' It stars Milly Alcock as the famous hero. The movie did very well and took the number two spot at the box office.
However, it could not beat the toys. 'Toy Story 5' is still the most popular movie in the country. It stayed at number one for the second week in a row.
Experts say this is a good sign for the new DC movies. It shows that people are ready for a new era of heroes. This film follows the success of the 'Superman' reboot from last summer.
WHAT THE EVIDENCE SHOWS
- 'Supergirl' opened in second place.
- 'Toy Story 5' held the top spot for two weeks.
- Milly Alcock is the new face of the DC brand.
- This is the second big hit for the new DC movie world.
- Fans are still showing up for big movie sequels.
THE BIGGER QUESTION
Are we seeing a shift in what fans want? People are excited for new DC movies, but they still love the things they know.
Can a new world of heroes ever truly beat a brand that is thirty years old? We are watching to see if new heroes can eventually lead the pack.
THE OTHER SIDE
Some experts say being number two is a huge win. They believe 'Supergirl' is a hit because it stood its ground against a Pixar giant.
The argument is strong because the movie is doing better than many older DC films.
WHAT HAPPENS NOW
This means the new DC world is on the right track. Fans can expect more movies like this soon.
It also shows that people are still willing to pay for a seat in a dark theater. The box office is looking healthy for the summer.
WHAT WE STILL DON'T KNOW
- How much money will 'Supergirl' make in total?
- Will the toys stay at number one for a third week?
- When will the next DC hero get a solo movie?
