Sony exec says Madame Web and Kraven the Hunter bombed because of critics: 'These are not terrible films'

Sony Pictures CEO Tony Vinciquerra says 'Spider-Man' spinoffs 'Madame Web' and 'Kraven the Hunter' bombed because of critics: 'These are not terrible films.'

Sony Pictures CEO Tony Vinciquerra thinks critics are to blame for why Madame Web and Kraven the Hunter both got vanquished at the box office this year.

Emma Roberts, who played Spider-Man’s mom, previously told Variety that “ internet culture ” was to blame for the film's negative reception.
