As a longtime Marvel enthusiast and someone who has eagerly anticipated each new addition to the Marvelverse, I can’t help but feel disheartened by the underwhelming performance of Kraven the Hunter. Having grown up with Venom comics, I had high hopes for the trilogy that was supposed to breathe life into this iconic character. However, the lackluster box office and critical reception has left me feeling like I’ve been hunting for a cinematic gem in a field of duds.
As a dedicated fan, I can’t help but feel disheartened seeing Kraven the Hunter struggling at the box office with disappointing ticket sales and harsh criticism from critics. It seems even Madame Web is outperforming him, which is truly unexpected.
struggle awaits Sony’s branch of the Marvel universe, with their latest release – “Kraven the Hunter” – hitting theaters. An unfortunate string of box office failures means that each new film in the series has underperformed compared to its predecessor.
The Venom trilogy, lacking the spark compared to its Marvel Cinematic Universe equivalents, hasn’t been able to hold a candle to them. Furthermore, the spin-offs from these films haven’t done much better. Although Kraven the Hunter has generated some intriguing trailers to create buzz, it seems that audiences remain skeptical about Sony’s comic book adaptations, reluctant to invest their faith in them.
The movie, Kraven, is predicted to underperform compared to Madame Web, which was Sony’s poorest film in the series before its release. Based on all indicators, it appears that Kraven will struggle to surpass a story that received our highest praise as merely “it’s definitely a film”.
Kraven the Hunter trails Madame Web’s reviews and box office
Initially, based on initial reactions and reviews, our assessment of Kraven the Hunter was that people were more likely mocking the movie than finding humor in it. This appears to be a common response given the film’s dismal 9% rating from critics on Rotten Tomatoes upon its release. Although there’s a chance this score could increase as more reviews come out, it currently lags behind the early criticism of similar films.
In a nutshell, Morbius, boosted somewhat by the popular “it’s Morbin’ time” meme, launched with a 12% box office share, and Madame Web debuted with an 11% share, despite receiving harsh criticism from the broader online community.
The movie “Kraven the Hunter” isn’t just receiving negative reviews; it seems to be struggling financially as well. According to Variety, the film is projected to earn only around $15 million in its opening weekend at the box office, which would set a new low for the franchise. To give you an idea of how this compares, Morbius opened with $17.3 million and Madame Web narrowly surpasses it with $15.3 million.
In a challenging situation, Kraven the Hunter finds himself with a smaller theater release compared to other Sony Marvel films, as only 3,200 cinemas will screen it, while at least 4,000 theaters have shown every other film in their franchise. However, the company can take solace in the fact that their animated Spider-Verse movies have performed significantly better than their live-action productions.
