Supergirl earns $18 million on its first day, according to Variety. The Warner Bros release opens strong, surpassing early projections and drawing a crowd of fans eager for a new superhero adventure.
Disney and Pixar’s Toy Story 5 remains the top film, pulling in $21 million from 4,425 screens as it enters its second weekend. Variety reports the film is expected to add $70‑80 million this week, bringing its North American total to just under $300 million. The franchise’s latest installment has already set a 2026 record with a $160 million domestic debut and a worldwide haul of $312 million.
The weekend’s box‑office landscape also features the new comedy Jackass: Best and Last, which joined the lineup alongside Supergirl. Despite the fresh competition, Toy Story 5 held the Friday crown, demonstrating the enduring appeal of Pixar’s beloved characters.
These figures illustrate the robust appetite for both blockbuster franchises and fresh releases in the current market. Warner Bros’ entry, backed by a strong marketing push, shows that superhero titles can still generate significant first‑day revenue, while Disney and Pixar continue to dominate with family‑friendly storytelling.
Variety’s coverage highlights the ongoing health of the domestic film sector, with multiple high‑grossing titles sustaining momentum into their second weekends. The numbers suggest that audiences are returning to theaters in healthy numbers, supporting a diverse slate of entertainment options.
As the weekend progresses, industry watchers will keep an eye on how long Toy Story 5 can maintain its lead and whether Supergirl’s momentum carries into the following days. The performance of Jackass: Best and Last will also be measured against its modest opening, offering insight into the appeal of niche comedy in a crowded release schedule.
