Box Office Report: Kraven The Hunter Sets Record for Worst Sony Marvel Debut, While Moana 2 and Wicked Lead the Top Two Charts

Kraven the Hunter: A Troubling Opening for Sony’s Latest

Kraven the Hunter, the latest entry in Sony’s Spider-Man Universe, has had a disappointing opening weekend, marking a new low for the franchise. Directed by J. C. Chandor, this film follows the journey of a hunter who forms unique connections with animals to seek vengeance against his criminal father. The cast features notable actors such as Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Ariana DeBose, Fred Hechinger, Alessandro Nivola, Christopher Abbott, and Russell Crowe.

Box Office Projections

According to recent reports from Deadline, Kraven the Hunter is estimated to close its opening weekend with a disappointing domestic gross between $11 million and $12 million. This performance falls short of challenging established hits such as Moana 2 and Wicked, which continue to dominate the box office charts. Furthermore, this opening weekend has set a new low for the franchise, surpassing the previous record held by Madame Web, which debuted at $15.3 million.

A Look at Franchise Performance

The underwhelming reception of Kraven the Hunter highlights an ongoing trend of mixed success within Sony’s Spider-Man Universe. While the Venom films achieved considerable box office success, other recent installments like Morbius and Madame Web struggled to gain traction with audiences. This inconsistency raises questions about the franchise’s direction and future projects.
