‘Kraven the Hunter’ Flops at Box Office, Ending Sony's Spider-Man Universe

The film opened to just $11 million domestically, marking a low point for Sony's struggling Marvel adaptations and prompting the studio to halt its shared universe plans.

‘Kraven the Hunter’ opened to a dismal $11 million domestically, with similarly poor performance internationally, making it a major financial failure for Sony.
The film faced stiff competition from blockbusters like ‘Wicked’ and the re-release of ‘Interstellar,’ which outperformed it significantly during its opening weekend.
Critics and audiences gave the movie overwhelmingly negative reviews, with a 15% Rotten Tomatoes score and a C+ CinemaScore, further dampening its prospects.
Sony's Spider-Man Universe has struggled with previous flops such as ‘Morbius’ and ‘Madame Web,’ and the studio has now decided to end its shared universe plans.
The film’s high production costs, lackluster marketing, and reliance on an obscure character with no major star power contributed to its failure.
