If I were to guess since he has some degree of name value Sony's going to go HAM promoting Kraven in the hopes it can salvage this then when it flops they're going to stop trying. Not before Spider-Verse concludes, but once that's done, they need to get out. Fast. Instead of continually churning out these turds and either making little profit or losing money, selling the rights back to Marvel is probably the only way they're gonna make anything. I dunno, somewhere between four and six billion?

How does stuff like this get made then other studios write off films like Batwoman or Coyote vs. Acme that actually look like decent hits?

Nobody wants to be the exec who handed the Walt Disney Corporation even more money. That's why Universal has been holding Hulk and Namor hostage for the past decade plus.

If Morbius was the nail in the coffin for Sony's plans, than this is the dirt on the grave. Time to follow through with the Aunt May movie to turn their fortunes around.

It’s inspiring how Sony burns money. Not smart. But inspiring. Remember, some CEO or Executive is on a massive income plus bonuses to greenlight this shite.

Here's a fun little thread:
Not posting the whole thread, of course, but there's some gems in there.

These kind of trainwrecks seem like such a vestigial piece of the old movie industry. Like: you’re not supposed to f*** up this grandly on a major motion picture level anymore. Especially with the shape of things. And yet Sony perseveres. Like that one shitfaced person at the party, who’s always a mess, and everyone tries to warn and prevent but they say nay - and they get sloshed.

Remember Nintendo, this is the company you want to do The Zelda movie.

From the marketing strategy, to how it was written, to the Director they chose, this movie was always bound to fail.
Why choose a first time director for a movie this expensive? Why choose writers who were so inexperienced? Why choose THIS character?

I really can't see any scenario in which a Zelda movie could ever turn out good in the first place so I find it hard to be that broken up about it.

Sony does produce good movies. Hell, they even produce well-received CBM's like the Tom Holland Spidey and the animated Spider-Verse movies. Madame Web just isn't one of them, and to be frank it seems like it was set up to fail. But that's just how it is with the major studios. They produce a lot of good stuff and a lot of bad stuff.
Not that I have a lot of faith in a Zelda movie being any good anyway, but I doubt they'd screw it up that badly compared to these D-Tier Spidey character projects.

With box office performance of this and The Marvels back in December. I hope the decision makers in Hollywood don't jump to conclusions likd they did after Catwoman, and Elektra in mid 00’s saying “well people don't want female lead superhero films, better stop makin’ em”

Until Wonder Woman came out, WB flat out said it couldn't be done, impossible to make a Wonder Woman movie (nevermind that there was perfectly serviceable animated one that they could have copied word for word and done well with). These are the type of people who cancel Young Justice because there were too many female fans and girls don't buy toys.

Why choose THIS character? This is the most baffling thing to me. Who the f*** ever wanted a Madame Web movie? You could ask 1,000 Marvel fans which Spider-Man side character should get a movie and I am willing to bet the amount of people who said Madame Web would be zero.
