Sony Pictures CEO On Why ‘Madame Web’ Flopped At The Box Office; Suggests Shift In ‘Spider-Man’ Spinoffs To Avoid Getting “Destroyed” By Critics
Tony Vinciquerra, the Sony Pictures CEO, acknowledged that Madame Web underperformed at the box office and shared why he thinks it didn't do well.
In a new interview, Vinciquerra touched on Madame Web ‘s dismal results in theaters despite being part of the Spider-Man universe. Vinciquerra also 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.” Madame Web starred 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.
