Box Office: ‘Bob Marley’ Biopic Beats Expectations With $51 Million Holiday Debut, ‘Madame Web’ Collapses


"Bob Marley: One Love" emerged victorious over "Madame Web" at the weekend box office.

Reinaldo Marcus Green (“King Richard”) directed and co-wrote the PG-13 “Bob Marley,” starring Kingsley Ben-Adir as the iconic reggae singer and Lashana Lynch as his wife Rita. It’s the latest entry in the studio’s hit-and-miss universe of Spider-Man characters, anchored by the commercially successful “Venom” and the less-embraced “Morbius.” And even the critically derided “Morbius” managed to sink its teeth into $39.1 in its three-day debut. With a dismal “C+” CinemaScore and grim 13% Rotten Tomatoes average, it doesn’t take a clairvoyant to predict that “Madame Web” ticket sales won’t rebound in theaters.
