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. Unfortunately, a combination of factors led to this film's demise.
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.
Unfortunately, movie-goers and critics alike were indifferent. Earning only $17.6 million for its domestic box office opening weekend, “Madame Web” is officially the worst-performing “Spider-Man” related film in history with its exceptionally meager debut.
The bad news is that at that production and potential marketing budgets, Madame Web will likely need to make $150-200 million just to break even. To be considered a success for Sony, the film must make about double that, at $350-400 million. Suffice it to say, that doesn't look like it's going to happen.
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.
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.
Madame Web is one of the worst superhero movies ever made! It has terrible writing, characters, action setpieces and even acting. Dakota Johnson is so dull and boring as the main lead but this is probably down to the terrible script.
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.
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 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 ...
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.
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, which is now in theaters, is an entry in Sony's Spider-Man Universe, a collection of films that take full advantage of the studio's ownership of Spidey film rights even as the main character is primarily making live-action appearances in the Disney-owned Marvel Cinematic Universe where Tom Holland plays him ...
Her (recent) acting career is obviously one of the main contributors to her reported net worth of $10 million, as per Celebrity Net Worth. Yahoo reported she earned an estimated $350,000 for 13 episodes of Euphoria, and Forbes claiming she made $25,000 per episode during season one of White Lotus.
“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.
