The weekend is done. The numbers have been run. It is a bed weekend for Sony. Kraven the Hunter opened, and it pulled in just $11 million domestically and $15 million internationally against the $110 million budget.
This is the lowest opening total for a Sony Marvel entry, the universe formerly known as SPUMC. This is behind even Madam Web. Overall, if it isn’t Venom in the SPUMC, then nobody is watching. This will be Sony’s final attempt in the SPUMC. They will return with a fourth Spider-Man, but that will be a co-effort with Marvel Studios.
SPUMC, or as they tried to rename it Sony’s Marvel Universe, is dead.
For context, the three previous Tom Holland-led Spider-Man projects with Marvel made nearly $4 billion worldwide in total.
Elsewhere, Moana 2 was the gift that kept giving for Disney with $26.6 million domestically to take the worldwide total to $717 million. Wicked was second with $22.2 million domestic and a worldwide take climbing to $525 million.
Gladiator II was behind Kraven in fourth with $7.8 million and a global now closing in on $400 million total.
The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim landed in fifth with nearly zero marketing and just $4.6 million.
