Madame Web premiered at the Regency Village Theatre in Westwood, Los Angeles, on February 12, 2024, and was released in the United States on February 14. The film was panned by critics and was a box-office bomb, grossing over $100 million worldwide against a production budget of $80–100 million.
Marketing was reported to be 60 million and the film may have actually cost 100M but even if we go with 80+60M then the movie still lost around 90M, which, as you said, is still less than what The Marvels lost. Well, the budget was reported to be 250-275M.
The film was panned by critics upon its release in February, and didn't fare much better with audiences as it only grossed $100 million worldwide against a rumoured production budget of $80 million, leaving the future of the franchise unclear.
“Madame Web” was widely panned by film critics earlier this year and it flopped at the box office, where it still hasn't crossed the $100 million mark worldwide.
If you thought “Morbius” was a flop, you're not gonna wanna watch “Madame Web.” The writing was cheesy, the timeline was hard to follow, the movie was too fast-paced and the acting was awful. Directed by S.J Clarkson and starring Dakota Johnson, “Madame Web” has got to be one of Marvel's worst-written films so far.
Critics universally panned the film for its sloppy editing, clunky plot and sluggish action sequences, resulting in a dreadful 13 percent critics' score on Rotten Tomatoes as of Monday morning.
How much did Sydney Sweeney get paid for Madame Web?
Sweeney started 2024 with two major titles — Madame Web and Immaculate. According to Box Offce Mojo, the former did not perform well at the box office, garnering over USD 98 million worldwide with a domestic opening of around USD 15 million. However, reports suggest she was paid around USD 650,000 for her role.
Will there be a Madame Web 2? No sequel has been officially greenlit yet, although Dakota Johnson has stated in interviews that she would "definitely" return if she was asked back.
It's certainly not part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (which, again, is owned by Disney rather than Sony, the studio behind Madame Web). Dakota Johnson is not running around a world in which Captain America and Tony Stark exist.
This has resulted in a film not connected to the Avengers or the MCU. Through post-credit turmoil in Venom: Let There Be Carnage, it could be argued that Sony's universe is now part of the MCU multiverse. Then, arguably, Morbius and even Kraven the Hunter may be part of the MCU.
Director S.J. Clarkson's "Madame Web" has sold $99,312,851 worth of tickets worldwide. That includes $43.8 million domestically. Relative to what superhero movies have been making in theaters over the past 20 years, less than $700,000 is right next to nothing.
That's a much safer choice, he says, since she recently suffered a heart attack—and also because Pepsi is funding the entire movie. Pepsi-owned sister sodas make appearances too: Cassie and Ben sip on Mountain Dews as they chill in the break room, during what is maybe the movie's most obnoxious scene.
After only five weekends in theaters, Sony Pictures has thrown in the towel on Madame Web, and they've pulled it from theaters. The movie was met with the worst reviews and a very disappointing box office run. In fact, the movie was a bigger flop than Morbius.
Okay, so we're being a bit facetious with this one, but yes, we can assume the baby born at the end of Madame Web is none other than Spider-Man himself, Peter Parker. That being said, the timelines don't really add up...
Tahar Rahim plays Ezekiel Sims, the villain in Madame Web. He has the power of premonition and wants to stop a group of young women from acquiring their Spider-Women powers.
“Madame Web” is a prequel to Spider-Man's origin story that takes place outside of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) that follows Cassandra Webb played by Dakota Johnson.
LA Collective has sued Sydney Sweeney for cancelling the three-year contract between the two parties. The Euphoria star will be required to cover damages following her breach of the deal.
People are forgetting that Sydney Sweeney is class valedictorian and has a bachelor's degree in business. She also knows how to fix cars and is generally a very cool woman.
She's had a monumental rise to fame after her big break in Euphoria five years ago. But with a series of sexed-up roles, controversies over her authenticity and jokes about her family's support of Donald Trump, Sydney Sweeney, 26, has become incredibly divisive with fans and critics.
While some fans tend to be hard on recent superhero movies, Madame Web has already received plenty of criticism. From a poor script to nonsensical plot points and unlikeable characters, Marvel fans have come up with plenty of valid reasons to dislike the new movie.
The worst element of the film is its screenplay, which will not surprise anybody who watched the trailer and heard the line: “He was in the Amazon with my mom when she was researching spiders right before she died.” While that ridiculous line didn't end up in the actual movie, the script is still full of bizarre ...
Beyond this, though, it is easy to see that there was very little effort or passion put into this film. From awkward and laughable line deliveries to scenes with extremely poor dubbing and editing, this film appears to have been incredibly rushed.
