The recent release of Madame Web, starring Dakota Johnson as the enigmatic clairvoyant paramedic Cassie Webb, faced unexpected challenges upon its debut. Similar to the reception of Morbius two years ago, Madame Web encountered a lackluster press tour, critical reviews, and a disappointing opening weekend at the box office.
As the newest addition to Sony's Spider-Man Universe, Madame Web's premiere resulted in a significant 64% drop in earnings following its lackluster opening. Despite aiming for an extended opening by launching on Valentine's Day, the film failed to attract audiences and fell short of expectations, earning the title of the worst opening in the Sony Spider-Man Universe.
