Moviegoers were not interested in researching spiders in the Amazon. ⁠ ⁠ The widely panned Dakota Johnson/Sydney Sweeney vehicle made just $25.8 million at the domestic box office in its first six days.⁠ ⁠ It's the worst-ever opening for a Sony superhero movie and a major financial boondoggle, given its reported budget between $80 million and $115 million. ⁠ ⁠ To put the numbers into context, the universally mocked Sony project 'Morbius' managed to make $39 million during its opening weekend in April 2022. ⁠ ⁠ Madame Web's poor showing can't be blamed on a slow overall weekend, since the Bob Marley biopic 'One Love' amassed $33.2 million and has earned $51 million since it was released on Valentine's Day. ⁠ ⁠ #madameweb #sony #boxoffice #business #businessnews
