Supergirl has officially landed on digital video-on-demand platforms, including Prime Video, allowing audiences to rent or purchase the film at home. This transition to digital comes approximately one month after its theatrical release. The film has struggled at the box office, grossing just over $124 million globally against an estimated production budget of $170 million, positioning it as one of the lowest-earning DC Comics adaptations to date.
To rent Supergirl digitally, viewers can expect to pay $19.99, with a purchase price of $24.99 which includes access to digital extras such as behind-the-scenes featurettes. A bundle including both Supergirl and Superman is available on Prime Video for $29.99. Additionally, a home video release is planned, with a 4K steelbook edition available for preorder and set for release on September 8.
Since its opening weekend, where it garnered just over $68 million, Supergirl experienced a significant 74% drop in attendance during its second weekend. This performance places it outside the top 10 highest-grossing films of the year. DC Studios co-CEO Peter Safran acknowledged the box office challenges, stating that while Supergirl did not meet expectations, it is part of a larger, long-term strategy for DC Studios that the company remains confident in.
Critical reception has also been mixed, with the film holding a 53% score on Rotten Tomatoes. While Milly Alcock's performance in the titular role has received praise, some creative decisions in the film's final act have drawn criticism. The performance issues are not isolated to Supergirl, as it joins a trend of live-action franchise adaptations, including Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu and Amazon's Masters of the Universe, that have underperformed at the box office in 2026.
Looking ahead, DC Studios' next project, Lanterns, is slated to premiere on HBO Max. While Supergirl's next appearance is not confirmed, she is expected to feature in the upcoming Superman sequel, Man of Tomorrow. Supergirl is anticipated to arrive on HBO Max, the streaming home for DC content, approximately 70 days after its theatrical release, mirroring the timeline of Superman's digital debut. Given the expedited move to digital, the film could be available to subscribers by early September.
