It is expected to crush everything for a few weeks, including SUPERGIRL which opens June 24.

This idea that blockbuster movies must be Summer movies is counterproductive. It pits them all against each other and even if they take #1 on the opening weekend, which is not guaranteed, by the next weekend someone else appears and the box office drops 60%. There is no time to be left alone and make good theatre money.

If "Project Hail Mary" can come out early and make a lot of cash for a movie not many people knew of before, why couldn't "Supergirl" come out in the Spring or in the Fall? Doesn't DC have enough trouble without going head-to-head with everybody's big movie? If we can figure this out, how come the smart studio executives can't see the logic? Sometimes I think they try to fail on purpose.
