\nYes, just as everyone thought it would, Madame Web<\/strong> is a box office bomb – in fact it’s doing so bad that it’s set a new record for Sony’s Spider-Man<\/strong> films.\n<\/p>\n

\nThat record, you won’t be surprised to hear, is not a good one, as the film is actually a record-low debut for Sony’s attempt at a connected Spider-Man universe that doesn’t have Spider-Man in it. The film only managed to gross $17.6 million in the US in its 3-day opening weekend, for a total of $25.8 million over a six-day period, as reported by Variety<\/a> – somehow even lower than Morbius, which saw a $39 million domestic debut. Bear in mind, Morbius, much like Madame Web<\/a>, was critically panned, so this is an even bigger blow for the film, especially one that has attempted to set up more Spider-Man films going forward (even if it does so in the most groan-worthy way possible).\n<\/p>\n

\nAccording to sources that spoke with The Hollywood Reporter<\/a>, the film is doing so badly that Sony likely won’t consider another Madame Web movie “for another decade-plus.” Personally, I think Sony making a film based on a character that honestly hasn’t had that big of an overall presence in Spider-Man’s history is the first mistake that was made, not to mention the fact that it is just continuing to make Spider-Man films that don’t even have the web-slinger in them. It is such a baffling decision that continues to prove itself as a bad one, and I don’t have much faith in the upcoming Kraven the Hunter solo film starring Aaron Taylor-Johnson.\n<\/p>\n
