Sorry, folks. We won’t be able to ‘Morbin’ time’ Madame Web into a re-release at a later date, as its box office performance spells an unprecedented disaster for Sony Pictures’ Spider-Man-less Spider-Man universe.
The movie is currently sitting at 15% with critics reviews and a still-not-positive 59% from audiences on Rotten Tomatoes. For reference, Morbius, Sony Pictures’ other effort to step out of Venom’s shadow and try to force a shared universe into existence, ended at 15% with critics too, but managed to land a 71% approval rating with moviegoers.
But, as we all know, what matters the most to big studios are the financial performances. Sadly, things are looking even bleaker in that arena, with Madame Web currently tracking to come in well below Morbius’ $39 million domestic debut, with only $25 million projected at most over six days according to estimates. Not even Valentine’s Day boosted its lackluster opening.
