Dakota Johnson Says ‘Madame Web’ “Wasn’t My Fault” & Blames Flop On Decisions Made By People “Who Don’t Have A Creative Bone In Their Body”
Dakota Johnson says 'Madame Web's failure was due to some "people who don't have a creative bone in their body."
Madame Web stars Dakota Johnson as a paramedic who develops psychic abilities following an accident, making her see future events in the “Spider-Man world.” The film opened to $51.5M worldwide, way below the reported $80M budget, and also starred Sydney Sweeney, Isabela Merced, Celeste O’Connor, Tahar Rahim, Mike Epps, Emma Roberts, and Adam Scott. In an interview at the end of 2024, Sony Pictures CEO Tony Vinciquerra acknowledged the film’s underperformance at the box office and explained why he thinks it didn’t do well. Vinciquerra acknowledged that Kraven the Hunter underperformed like Madame Web and suggested, “for some reason, the press decided that they didn’t want us making these films … and the critics just destroyed them.”
