Audiences looking for patriotic fare amid the United States’ 250th birthday celebration had ‘Young Washington’ to consider; it opened in third place with about USD 21 million. This film focuses on George Washington’s career in the French and Indian War.This leaves ‘Supergirl’ in fourth place with less than $10 million at the box office, a massive 74% drop from its disappointing weekend.The weekend box office was down year-over-year by about 24%, according to figures compiled by Rentrak, although this summer is up from 2025 by about 12%.
