Madame Web has struggled to ensnare audiences for its opening weekend at the box office, hitting a record low in the Sony Spider-Man Universe.
Sony's latest superhero film grossed $17.6 million in the U.S. during its 3-day opening weekend and $25.8 million during a six-day period, per Variety, leading to the worst opening for any Spider-Man Universe movie, including the critically-panned vampire flick Morbius, which made $39.1 million in its three-day debut in 2022.
Madame Web opened in second place behind Paramount's latest music biopic, Bob Marley: One Love, which earned $27.7 million in the U.S. during the 3-day weekend and $51 million during its six-day stretch. It added $29 million overseas, while Madame Web launched internationally with $25.7 million at the box office.
After failing to reach the top spot, Madame Web claimed another unwanted title as it became the first Marvel-based movie since Fox's Fantastic Four reboot to not open at number one. That film, stylized as Fant4stic, opened with $26.2 million in the U.S. when it hit theaters in 2015, putting it behind Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation.
Dakota Johnson's titular superhero in Madame Web has the power to see the future and to change it, but even she might have been caught off guard by the movie's disappointing box office debut. However, the actress did admit that "drastic changes" were made to the script, and she had concerns over certain scenes.
Madame Web currently has a Rotten Tomatoes critics score of 13%, with IGN's review calling it "mediocre," noting that it "fails the talent and the future of its onscreen Spider-Women" with "extraneous characters, basic archetypes, and generic dialogue", but who knows what the future holds for the teen thriller.
