I write about films, especially superhero films, and Hollywood. Madame Web looks to finish its theatrical run south of $100 million, making it another flop for Sony's Spider-Man Universe of live-action spinoffs and putting the entire endeavor in jeopardy.
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.
Madame Web may have flopped during its run in cinemas, but the superhero film has seemingly found an audience following its streaming release. The Spider-Man spin-off follows Cassie Webb (Dakota Johnson), a paramedic who develops abilities as a clairvoyant after suffering an accident.
“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.

Madame Web's financial failure makes the MCU's box office woes look less startling. Its box office was just shy of $98 million, putting it far below even the worst-performing Marvel Cinematic Universe films. The MCU's lowest-grossing film is currently The Marvels, with a box office haul of almost $200 million.
“To me, that film was a building block, it's what allowed me to build a relationship with Sony,” Sweeney told the publication. “Without doing 'Madame Web' I wouldn't have a relationship with the decision-makers over there. Everything in my career I do not just for that story, but strategic business decisions.
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.
The superhero flick is made on a budget of $80 million. It will at least need to collect double its cost to break even. But that's far from the case. This means that Madame Web has turned out to be a disaster at the box office.
As envisioned in the comic books, Madame Web is not a villain. Instead, she's a hero who fittingly aids Spider-Man using her clairvoyant abilities. In the comics, Madame Web's real name is Cassandra Webb, and her psychic powers are due to her being a mutant like the X-Men.
The acting is lacking, the actors look as bored as you will feel. Script is bad, just some beyond silly lines, the story chops and changes so much your neck will hurt you, some bad CGI, and just boring action.
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.
Madame Web has made $91 million at the global box office, with $40.4 million domestically and $50.6 million internationally. The film had a budget of $80 million which has already been recouped, making it not a complete financial disaster despite marketing costs.
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.
Sydney Bernice Sweeney (born September 12, 1997) is an American actress. She first gained attention in 2018 for appearing in the television series Everything Sucks! and The Handmaid's Tale, and in the limited series Sharp Objects.
Tobey Maguire's Spider-Man does not appear in any way in Madame Web. The other live-action Spider-Men, Andrew Garfield and Tom Holland also do not appear. Instead, Madame Web focuses on the adventures of Dakota Johnson's clairvoyant Cassandra Webb and Spider-Women Julia Cornwall, Mattie Franklin, and Anya Corazon.
It's also unfortunate that she won't get the chance to interact with other MCU heroes as Madame Web takes place in Sony's Spider-Man Universe alongside characters like Venom and Morbius. Despite Madame Web's poor performance, it may not be the last time audiences see Sweeney's Spider-Woman.
Even though the cast are up for a sequel, we can confirm that Madame Web does not have a any credits scenes. There's nothing during the credits or post-credits, so as soon as the movie is wrapped up, you can head home. There's no MCU crossover here like there was with Morbius and the surprise Vulture appearance.
The only actor to achieve this goal is one and only VARUN DHAWAN. As far as I know, no Bollywood hero has a flawless track record without a single flop film. Box office success can fluctuate based on various factors, including audience preferences, marketing strategies, and the overall reception of the film.
