Maybe a new trailer next week, assuming the next one is timed for apes (Green band for Apes, red band for Fall Guy seems likely)
Fall Guy is PG-13. -
I was also amused by Kong dragging Godzilla by his tail toward the Hollow Earth portal as if he was like "I need your help and I don't have time for another pissing contest".

Hopefully the return of Mothra sets the stage for an Avengers/Justice League/Destroy All Monsters style Titan team-up.

I just have *one* thing to ask of this movie: Explain why the friggin' premonitions happen in the first place.

Testing well, huh? Let' see if Sony lifts the review embargo earlier than one day before release.
In EmpireCity’s defense, he did say Madame Web had tested badly. 😆 -

Apparently the TV show based on the Silk character got canned last week.
I read it’s getting repurposed. -

Whi is it that nobody how big a flop it is, you have somebody saying "Well, It did not bomb that bad.....
Madame Webb is a fiasco for SONY,a million one way or the other will not change that .
At this point, with Wednesday's number arguably indicating its second weekend number and Dune Pt. 2 set to obliterate *everything* when it opens, I think the will it/won't it threshold is 40M.

Is it too early to say Madame Web isn't really falling through the floor as predicted?
It was too early. 😉 -

Its Tuesday drop had me wondering for a split second if it was gonna hold better than anyone was expecting, but this drop has wiped that thought out pretty quick. Should be headed for a $5-6M weekend.
Because it had a better Mon-Tues drop than most of the other movies out, that to me suggested its Tues-Wed drop would be greater. Morbius had a better first Tues-Wed drop than Madame Web. -
I don’t believe they did the *final* draft of Power Rangers.

80M budget + 60M marketing? Movie looks to make 80-90M WW so Sony will end up losing close to 100M on this (if we're just talking theatrical revenue).
My question is how much of the budget did it make back with its egregious product placement?-

One question, have the demographics for Madame Web been revealed?
Deadline revealed them.QuoteSony went after young women with Madame Web, with 75% of its $60M global P&A allocated toward social and Tik Tok. The Marvel Spider-Man spinoff property is bringing in men 53% and women 47%. PostTrak scores have fallen to a star and a half and 54% positive; nobody likes this movie. Men over 25 are attending the most at 31% (50% grade), followed by women over 25 at 24% (63% grade), women under 25 at 23% (62% grade) and men under 25 at 22% (the pic’s worst grades at 42%).

Deadline Anthony has sucked for for the last couple of years now. He wouldn't admit Flower Moon Killers flopped for months. He thought The Flash could do well because Ezra Miller had a large fan army that would watch the movie in secret.
He was also the guy who posted the phony Black Adam profit statement for Dwayne Johnson.Nevertheless, he has backed off those initial Madame Web stances and accepted that the movie failed to interest audiences and has received a poor reception. He also addressed the situation with the Morbius writers.

From the first box office reports it is bombing badly, to the surprise of no one.
Unless you’re someone like Anthony D’Alessandro at Deadline, who thought the reason it was tracking poorly initially was due to a “wonky marketplace” or anti-female superhero sentiments and not because the movie itself failed to look appealing. -

I can't even remember if I've seen a blockbuster go rotten on verified audience since its introduction. That's just insane, and the critics score is down to 13% as well...jesus...
It's on its way to becoming the worst reviewed film by the guys who previously wrote Dracula Untold, The Last Witch Hunter, Gods of Egypt and Morbius.

- Goosebumps - 68.5M budget = breakeven at 118.7M WW (1.73)1; "return threshold" at 156M WW (2.27) & "target" at 163M WW (2.37)

I'm not sure the trio of Avi Arad, Amy Pascal and Tom Rothman were smart enough to realize that.
I figured that would be the counterpoint and there's no argument against that. 😆
But even still, what I said is what *should* have been done.

And unlike Gods of Egypt, Madame Webb seems to not be saved by Chadwick Boseman just 180% hamming it up.
And maybe it's just me, but Morbius had Matt Smith hamming it up as well. No one in Madame Web seems to be hamming it up based on what I read, everyone just looks like they don't care.

Morbius came out in March and Madame Web started filming in July. By the time Morbius released, there was probably no time time to pull the breaks on Madame Web.
True, but Sony had to have known Morbius was a dumpster fire well before release, so they had plenty of time to get new writers. Or perhaps they should have done what the MCU was doing with Blade and push production back until they were comfortable with it, which they still aren't. I mean, wasn't Blade initially set to start production in a similar amount of time from the point when they decided to pull the brakes? I get the driving factor for pushing back Blade was losing the director, but still.
Nevertheless, it’s clear that Sony has no idea how to approach these movies.

Once agiain, Missed "King Of The Monsters" which pretty is a Destory All Monsters variant.
I’m talking about Destroy All Monsters in terms of a full on team-up. King of the Monsters wasn’t exactly a full on team-up. -

Probably not. Best thing an actor can do if they make a bad movie is forget about it and move on. Maybe in a few years you can even makes jokes about it.
I understand they probably *should*, but Sydney has been known for having candid moments in interviews.

This was greenlit at a time when studios felt ANY CBM would make money.
And, to be nhonest, some really bad movies have been sucessful at the box office.
But, having begun filming *after* Morbius, why in the fresh hell didn't they reconsider their approach to Madame Web and hire *real* writers to replace the Morbius writers?

Damn. I thought Sony couldn't make a film worst than The Marvels but I just saw the RT rating. That's in worst cbm's of all time category. Maybe the movie is so bad its good and worth a watch to see the trainwreck.
The Marvels has a higher RT rating than any Spider-Man-less Spider-Verse movie.

Uh, she might have seen all the things the critics seem to have seen.
I know that. I'm saying if she'll outright address how it made her *feel*.

What score were you expecting based on the trailer? You had to have been expecting a better score than Argylle.
