The summer of 2026 was yet again dominated by a superhero movie. Everyone expected Spider-Man: Brand New Day to perform well at the box office, but no one quite expected it to break quite as many records as it did. The records fell quickly, with the film earning the biggest opening weekend in domestic history. Eventually, Brand New Day overtook Star Wars: The Force Awakens to become the highest-grossing film of all time domestically.

Despite high hopes from fans, Supergirl was an undeniable flop at the box office. In fact, the film is one of the biggest flops of the year so far, earning just $126 million worldwide against a bloated $170 million budget. Directed by Craig Gillespie and also featuring Jason Momoa and Matthias Schoenaerts, the film has managed to shake off its box office misfortunes with a subsequent streaming run to be proud of. At the time of writing, Supergirl is one of the ten most-streamed movies on HBO Max in the U.S. and has surpassed the 30-day mark in the top ten. The current most-watched movie on the platform is The Housemaid, Sydney Sweeney's steamy adaptation, which scored a big box office haul at the end of 2025.
