Supergirl is arriving on streaming platform HBO Max on Thursday at 4am following a failed campaign in cinemas. The superhero feature film generated a financial loss estimated between $100 million and $120 million, which amounts to roughly 510.41 million to 612.5 million Brazilian reais.
The production arrived in movie theaters on June 26, opening one year after the release of Superman, which was directed by James Gunn and starred Dave Corensweet.
Streaming release details
HBO Max announced the streaming release date for the movie centered on the superheroine cousin of Superman. In addition to its subscription debut on the platform, the film is also available in Brazil for digital rental on Prime Video, Google Play, YouTube, and Mercado Play.
The cinematic adaptation is based on the comic book series Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, written by Tom King. Milly Alcock stars as the alien teenager who suffers the destruction of her homeland, Krypto. When a relentless enemy emerges, she is forced to join forces with an unlikely companion in an epic battle of vengeance and justice.
