The release of 'Madame Web', a film anticipated to expand the Spider-Verse into a significant Marvel franchise, faced a critical and commercial downfall upon its opening. Major theatrical chains reported a real-time decline in advance purchase sales as viewers refunded their tickets, a phenomenon observed vividly on the film's opening night. Despite the negative reception, some believe the film might break even, attributing its potential success to the curiosity surrounding its poor quality, evidenced by its 14% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Competing against 'Madame Web', 'One Love' emerged as a preferred choice among moviegoers, despite its largely poor reviews. Critics and insiders have labeled 'Madame Web' as one of the worst Marvel movies produced by Sony, with reviews highlighting its failure across multiple fronts, including editing, script, and villain portrayal. The film's poor performance has led to the cancellation of plans for a potential franchise and spin-offs, marking a significant setback for Sony's ambitions in the superhero genre. Amidst the backlash, Dakota Johnson, the film's lead, was spotted on a romantic getaway, seemingly unaffected by the film's box office disaster.

If I’m Sony I’m launching ads for Madame Web today saying things like: “You can’t believe how bad it truly is, see it for yourself” “The worst superhero movie ever made.” “A 14% on Rotten Tomatoes, is it really that bad? Yes, yes it is.” I think it would actually work.

After decades of trying to expand the Spider-Verse into a true Marvel franchise, “Madame Web” should be a wake-up call that it’s time for Sony to move on. From @ScottMendelson https://t.co/hW9VU7LaDQ
My Madame Web review: https://t.co/9La9vTYR71
This is why Madame Web failed: It's a REALLY bad movie about a character no one cares about. If execs don't get that, we're screwed. https://t.co/oaHjPWRw84
What's especially ghoulish about the failure of MADAME WEB being blamed on "lady superhero movies don't work" is that there are no costumed lady superheroes in MADAME WEB. It's the prequel to a prequel to the actual female superhero movie general audiences came to see. https://t.co/km5APgXJJq
should i see madame web in like an ironic funny way
It's actually very funny to go read the reviews at Rotten Tomatoes of "Madame Web" and realize even some of those that are listed as positive reviews are pretty bad and some reveal the critics best ignored forever. https://t.co/1t6YlxSHVK

Sony is not Marvel, so it was strange when Johnson said she was excited about being in a Marvel film. Madame Web is a D-tier character but, like Morbius, Sony thinks people will see any superhero film. https://t.co/PL6yWsKy9n

I feel like Madame Web actually might end up breaking even when all is said and done because it’s so horrifically bad that it almost has to be seen to be believed.
