Box Office: ‘Kraven the Hunter’ Preys on Meager $4.7 Million Opening Day, ‘Lord of the Rings: War of the Rohirrim’ Debuting in Fifth
Sony's Marvel spinoff 'Kraven the Hunter' is crawling to third place in its box office opening.
It seems Sony is bookending the calendar with another comic book dud, as the R-rated “Kraven the Hunter” will have to muscle up if it’s going to make its already low projections for an opening north of $13 million. And though Sony has found strong commercial success with its “Venom” trilogy, the studio’s other pair of live-action “Spider-Man” spinoffs, “Madame Web” and the living vampire thriller “Morbius,” both proved to be franchise non-starters, not to mention superlative turkeys among critics. Moviegoer pollster Cinema Score turned in a C grade, which is even lower than the C+ earned by “Madame Web” and “Morbius.” Even poorly regarded movies can put up above-average multipliers over the holiday season, but bad buzz and a terrible kick-off are going to be a grind to overcome.
