'Toy Story 5' tops North American box office with $70M
Disney and Pixar's Toy Story 5 topped the box office this weekend with $70 million, while Warner Bros.' Supergirl debuted in second place with $38 million from 3,600 North American theaters.
Supergirl, which cost $170 million to produce, received poor critical reviews with a 56% score on Rotten Tomatoes and a B- grade on CinemaScore from audiences.
The debut performance trails disappointing DC releases like The Flash and The Green Lantern , only barely ahead of Joker: Folie à Deux .
Warner Bros. Discovery faces this setback while preparing for acquisition by Paramount Skydance, with DC Studios executives James Gunn and Peter Safran planning Clayface for October release.
Superhero genre box office revenue has declined approximately $3.5 billion annually from 2017-2019 highs, with female-fronted films like Wonder Woman and Captain Marvel also experiencing downturns.
