The brief
New releases 'Supergirl' and 'Jackass' are entering the box office with targets of $50 million and $10 million respectively. Despite these goals, coverage from Variety indicates that neither film is expected to dethrone 'Toy Story 5' from the top spot.
Critical reception for 'Supergirl' is deeply divided. Outlets such as Rotten Tomatoes, The Guardian, and CNET describe the film as emotional, sparkling, or a solid follow-up.
Conversely, Variety, The Detroit News, and the Los Angeles Times characterize the movie as flat, dull, or a 'hot mess.' Future focus remains on whether Milly Alcock's performance can sustain the film's momentum and if the movie will reach its $50 million debut target.
