After the failure of Madame Web and the poor reception of Venom: The Last Dance, it seemed like Sony couldn’t sink any lower with its Spider-Man villain movies. However, Kraven the Hunter has shown them that there is always a bottom, something that has surprised the CEO of Sony Pictures.
With only a few weeks at the box office, Tony Vinciquerra, CEO of Sony Pictures, has indicated that Kraven the Hunter is his biggest commercial failure in the last seven and a half years, something that has taken him by surprise. This is what he said about it:
“It didn’t perform very well and that’s something that I still can’t explain why it’s not a bad movie.
Let me talk about her for a moment, Madame Web didn’t do well in theaters because the press simply destroyed it. It wasn’t a bad movie, and it did well on Netflix, but for some reason the press made the decision that we shouldn’t make any more of these films since Madame Web and Kraven. It also happened with Venom, but people turned it into a mass success.”
Vinciquerra has pointed out that the poor reception of these films is the fault of the press, who constantly point out that Sony’s work with Marvel has been mediocre. In this way, the public response has not been positive either, and Kraven the Hunter has generated only $43.9 million dollars with a budget of $130 million dollars.
However, the CEO is not giving up. While films of this type will stop, Vinciquerra wants to continue this work, although to do so he needs to rethink the way they have worked with these properties in recent years. On related topics, this is how Kraven the Hunter fared in reviews. Likewise, we will tell you whether or not Spider-Man appears in this film.
