Box Office: ‘Kraven the Hunter’ Bombs With $11 Million Opening Weekend, Worst Start of Sony-Produced Marvel Films
Sony's "Kraven the Hunter," a superhero spinoff starring Aaron Taylor-Johnson as Spider-Man's notorious foe, launched behind already low expectations.
“Kraven the Hunter” is Sony’s third Spider-Man-adjacent adaptation of the year, following October’s “Venom: The Last Dance.” The alien symbiote trilogy, led by Tom Hardy, has proven itself to be critic-proof and commercially successful, although the third and final movie didn’t live up to the box off heights of its predecessors. Directed by J.C. Chandor, the R-rated film explores the origins of Sergei Kravinoff, the comic book character’s alter ego, including his rocky relationship with his crime lord father (Russell Crowe) and his quest to become the greatest hunter. “Moana 2” and “Glicked” (the portmanteau for the two films with twin release dates and spiritual sequel of “Barbenheimer”) will continue to rule at multiplexes until Christmastime, when Disney’s “The Lion King” prequel “Mufasa,” Paramount’s “Sonic the Hedgehog 3” and A24’s erotic thriller “Babygirl” all open on Dec. 20.
