I mean the guys (Matt Sazama and Burk Sharpless) that wrote the movie have such a huge roll call of hits to their name; Madame Web and those spider-women should stop those writers instead.

Bosco685 Posted February 19 Author Share Posted February 19 Quote The trailer buzz was worrisome, advance ticket sales anemic. Then last week, the critic reviews for Madame Web were posted, and they stung deepest of all — Sony’s Spider-Man spinoff received the lowest average Rotten Tomatoes score (13 percent) of any major superhero film in nearly a decade. “On Wednesday night, you could actually watch advance purchase sales declining in real time as buyers were refunding their tickets,” marvels a major theatrical chain insider. “It really says something when you’d rather have Shazam! 2 numbers.” Beige, media_junkie and The humble Watcher lurking 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gatsby77 Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 "Lowest average Rotten Tomatoes score (13%) of any major superhero film in nearly a decade." Had to look it up - Fantastic Four (2015) - with just 9% positive. Worse than even Jonah Hex - which I paid to see in the theater opening weekend.

MAR1979 Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 Appears the budget was actually over 100MM https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/madame-web-bomb-killed-sony-franchise-1235829471/ Sony has to be laundering money there really is no other logical explanation. aardvark88 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheNumbers as a box office industry aggregator has it at $80M for now. No matter what the rumors are just yet. They normally will not publish a budget unless they validate with the studio. https://www.the-numbers.com/movie/Madame-Web-(2024)#tab=summary So we'll see if it adjusts that number (which has occurred in the past - see Avengers: Endgame where originally it noted $325M).

MAR1979 Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 Per THR, Madame Web has kicked off with one of the worst ever opening weekends for a new film based on Marvel Comics characters. Ahead of the release, it was looking clear that the film was in trouble, as advance ticket sales were not very strong. Reportedly, an insider for an unnamed major theatrical chain spoke about how many of the advance ticket sales could actually be seen dwindling in real time as film goers were requesting refunds as late as Wednesday, the midweek opening day for Madame Web.

Popular Post paperheart Posted February 19 Popular Post Share Posted February 19 (edited) if only the movie was as entertaining as the reviews, from The Atlantic: I almost admire the sheer lack of effort on display in the acting, storytelling, and set pieces. To say that Johnson in particular phoned this performance in would be an insult to Alexander Graham Bell.

aardvark88 Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 When Sony asks the writers of that bomb 'Morbius' to rewrite the script to 'Madame Web', unfortunately u get an unwatchable movie that seems to have also killed the live action Spider-verse 'Silk' movie.

Thor: Love and Thunder changed that for me though and since then have not put much money towards superhero movies and TV as I no longer have any trust in them to deliver anything of quality. I have also been correct to not do so! If friends ask me I would go see Deadpool 3. Edited February 20 by Artboy99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
