On today’s episode of “Daily Variety” podcast, in our Box Office segment, Variety’s Jack Dunn breaks down a rough weekend for “Supergirl” and a big frame for “Toy Story 5” and “Michael.” And Todd Spangler explains why Comcast is hauling out the corporate meat cleaver to separate NBCUniversal and Sky from the core Comcast cable and tech assets.

Variety reporter Jack Dunn says “Supergirl” simply didn’t resonate with enough younger fans in their social feeds to drive a big opening weekend. It’s part of the larger problem around superhero movies.
