Supergirl OTT release in India: When and where to watch James Gunn's superhero movie online in less than a month after its theatrical release

DC's latest superhero movie Supergirl, arrived in theatres in India on June 26, 2026. Starring Milly Alcock as Kara Zor-El, the movie opened to just $38 million in North America and about $68 million worldwide during its opening weekend. As per the reports, its disappointing figures for a movie reportedly made on a production budget of around $170 million, excluding marketing costs. The weak performance has sparked concerns about James Gunn's new DC Universe, which is only two films old. Amid the film's underwhelming box office run, reports have now emerged that Supergirl could be heading to digital platforms much sooner than expected.

Streaming details of Supergirl in India

According to ComicBookMovie.com, Supergirl is expected to debut on Premium Video on Demand (PVOD) platforms on July 28, 2026, less than a month after its theatrical release. The report claims the film will be available for digital rental and purchase on Apple TV, Prime Video, Vudu, and Google Play Movies & TV. However, Warner Bros. has not officially announced or confirmed the digital release date.




If the reported timeline proves accurate, Supergirl will be among the fastest DC releases to arrive on digital platforms. In recent years, studios have increasingly shortened the gap between theatrical and digital releases, particularly for films that struggle to maintain momentum at the box office.

Supergirl struggles at the global box office

Despite being one of DC Studios' biggest releases of the year, Supergirl has found it difficult to attract audiences worldwide. With a reported production budget of around $170 million before marketing expenses, the film now faces an uphill battle to recover its costs.

Although it has crossed the $100 million mark worldwide, trade reports suggest it may end its theatrical run with around $150 million globally. Such a finish could reportedly result in losses exceeding $100 million for Warner Bros. after marketing and distribution expenses are taken into account.

The disappointing performance has also intensified scrutiny of James Gunn's rebooted DC Universe. As only the second film in the new franchise, Supergirl was expected to build on the momentum of the studio's fresh cinematic direction. Instead, its weak box office numbers have raised questions about the future of the franchise.

While the overall box office performance has been disappointing, Supergirl has performed strongly in premium cinema formats. According to Deadline, 51% of the film's domestic opening weekend revenue came from IMAX and other premium large-format screens.

The report added that the movie earned $7.4 million from IMAX and premium large-format screenings in North America, while its global IMAX collection reached $10.9 million, including $3.5 million from international markets and $250,000 from China. The publication also noted that the film recorded one of the highest opening weekend shares from IMAX for a superhero movie.
