Yet another big-budget superhero movie from Marvel has performed terribly. "Madame Web" is doing worse than its predecessors after a disastrous opening.
The 2024 Marvel film appeared similar to "The Marvels" in that it is a diverse, female-led cast of superheroes. However, it seemed that Marvel and Disney were trying to draw in a younger audience by having actress Dakota Johnson parent three younger women on-screen.
However, the presence of Celeste O'Connor (25), Sydney Sweeney (26), and Isabela Merced (22) as new blood to the Marvel Cinematic Universe did not help the movie's box office performance.
As Bounding into Comics noted, the non-Spider-Man movie "Madame Web" brought in just $6,051,012 on its opening night, worse than both "Morbius" ($11,605,908) and "The Marvels" ($15,003,104).
