‘Kraven The Hunter’ Wounded With $11M Box Office Opening, Lowest Ever For Sony/Marvel: What Happened


Sony Marvel's 'Kraven the Hunter' opens to $11M, the worst start for a Sony Marvel title. Here's what happened.

In the movie Nocturnal Animals Golden Globe winner Aaron Taylor-Johnson stars as the son of a ruthless gangster father (Russell Crowe), who starts him down a path of vengeance with brutal consequences, only to become the greatest hunter in the world. By comparison, Disney Marvel’s Deadpool & Wolverine also faced strike stop-and-start problems, but remained the diamond in the rough in the storm of superhero-itis, benefitting from being a long-awaited bawdy sequel not to mention the dynamic duo pairing of Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman. Despite the Christmas holiday’s history for a 5x-plus multiple on releases, Kraven the Hunter will have a hard time holding screens against Disney’s Mufasa, Paramount’s Sonic the Hedgehog and still powerful Thanksgiving tentpoles Wicked and Moana 2.
