\n\tSupergirl<\/a> has begun its box office<\/a> run. Director Craig Gillespie\u2019s DC Studios<\/a> superhero movie kicked things off with a $7.8 million start from Thursday previews.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Warner Bros.<\/a> title follows last summer\u2019s Superman and stars Milly Alcock<\/a> as Kara Zor-El, the cousin of the Man of Steel.<\/p>\n

\n\tAfter a cameo in 2025\u2019s Superman, Alcock returns as Supergirl for the second big-screen feature in the DC slate cooked up by bosses James Gunn and Peter Safran. <\/p>\n

\n\tReviews have been mixed<\/a>, with The Hollywood Reporter\u2019s chief film critic David Rooney deeming it an \u201cuninspired slog,\u201d<\/a> although praising \u201cMilly Alcock\u2019s hard-edged performance making her an appealingly punky protagonist.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tAfter starring as Aquaman for the previous DC regime, Jason Momoa<\/a> joins Alcock as comics bad boy Lobo. Matthias Schoenaerts, Eve Ridley, David Krumholtz and Emily Beecham round out the cast, while David Corenswet reprises his role as Superman.<\/p>\n

\n\tAlso opening this weekend is Paramount<\/a>\u2018s Jackass<\/a>: Best and Last, which collected $1.2 million from Thursday previews. Director Jeff Tremaine\u2019s fifth feature in the ribald Johnny Knoxville<\/a>-led franchise is eyeing $10 million domestically, with the benefit of a budget of just $10 million. <\/p>\n

\n\tFollowing 2022\u2019s Jackass Forever, the latest installment sees the return of Knoxville, Steve-O, Chris Pontius and the rest of the pain-seeking cohorts.<\/p>\n

\n\tAdditionally, Scary Movie from Paramount and Miramax crossed $100 million at the domestic box office on Thursday, becoming the first R-rated comedy to hit the milestone since 2017\u2019s Girls Trip. Anna Faris, Regina Hall, Marlon Wayans and Shawn Wayans lead the film that has surpassed $200 million globally. The franchise that kicked off with 2000\u2019s original Scary Movie has now reached the $1 billion mark worldwide, thanks to the current sixth title in the series. <\/p>\n

\n\tIn his review of Jackass: Best and Last<\/a>, THR critic Frank Scheck called Knoxville an \u201cappealing performer\u201d and quipped, \u201cIf you\u2019re nostalgic to once again see Steve-O strapped into a porta potty and slung into the air only to be covered in excrement, you\u2019re in luck.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Supergirl has begun its box office run.
