Marvel’s Woke Spiderman Spin-Off ‘Madame Web’ Flops Badly On Debut Weekend

Marvel’s latest spin-off “Madame Web” experienced a less-than-stellar debut weekend, marking another significant misstep in the studio’s woke cinematic universe.

The Sony/Marvel co-production, which introduced audiences to a new female superhero, grossed a modest $15.3 million over its opening weekend, a figure that fell short of expectations for a project with an estimated budget of $80 million.

Critics and audiences alike have been quick to express their disappointment, with the film receiving a mere 13% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes, a score even lower than Sony’s previous effort, Morbius, which managed a 15% rating according to Deadline.

The critical panning was mirrored by a lukewarm reception from moviegoers, evidenced by a C+ CinemaScore rating, suggesting the film’s fortunes in the coming weeks is unlikely to improve. The film’s performance was a stark contrast to the weekend’s other major release, Bob Marley: One Love.

It seems the old adage “go woke, go broke” might just have found its latest poster child. For Marvel and Sony, the challenge will be to reassess their strategy for introducing new films to the big screen.
