Key Takeaways
- Kraven the Hunter is projected to have one of the worst Sony Spider-Man Universe opening weekends.
- Previous Sony Spidey Universe movies struggled arguably due to lesser-known characters.
- R-rating may not save Kraven the Hunter from box office failure.
As a seasoned gamer and movie enthusiast with over two decades of experience under my belt, I’ve seen more flops than I care to remember. The upcoming release of Kraven the Hunter has me feeling like a broken record, as the box office projections suggest another disappointing performance from Sony’s Spider-Man Universe.
Predictions for Kraven the Hunter’s box office performance suggest it might struggle to match the opening weekend earnings of most films in the Sony Spider-Man Universe, except for perhaps one title.
The upcoming film, titled “Kraven the Hunter,” is Sony’s latest installment in a collective Spider-Man universe, excluding our friendly neighborhood wall-crawler. Unfortunately, many of these films have underperformed financially for Sony. Even “Venom 3” fell short of box office expectations, with its success primarily attributed to international markets. The financial disappointments are often linked to the fact that, apart from the “Venom” series, Sony’s Spider-Man universe has predominantly focused on lesser-known comic book characters, which might explain their lackluster box office performances. However, “Kraven the Hunter” boasts one of the more recognized Spider-Man adversaries. Regrettably, even this seems unlikely to boost its earnings at the box office.
According to Boxoffice Pro, it’s projected that “Kraven the Hunter” will earn between $20 million and $25 million during its opening weekend. If this is accurate, “Kraven the Hunter” would have one of the poorest openings among Sony’s Spider-Man Universe films, surpassing the disappointing domestic debut of “Madame Web” (approximately $15 million) but falling short of “Morbius” ($39 million). Notably, Boxoffice Pro suggests that “Kraven the Hunter” could end its theatrical run with a lower total domestic box office than the opening weekend gross of “Venom 3” ($51M).
A silver lining for Kraven the Hunter could be that it might not set a record for the poorest debut weekend among films, according to Boxoffice Pro. This is because The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim is projected to open even lower, with earnings between $8 million and $15 million. Both movies face an uphill battle at the box office, as Wicked and Moana 2 are anticipated to keep drawing audiences after their initial weekends.
Some spectators anticipated that the R rating of “Kraven the Hunter” would enable it to stand out among the disappointing releases in Sony’s Spider-Man Universe. However, others believed that even with an R rating, the movie wouldn’t escape Sony’s pattern of mediocrity. Many contend that R-rated comic book films can attract viewers by presenting something a bit different from the typically family-friendly superhero content. Regrettably for “Kraven the Hunter”, it doesn’t appear to gain much from its mature theme.
If “Kraven the Hunter” underperforms at the box office, many enthusiasts might consider it a squandered opportunity for a character who deserves to appear in “Spider-Man 4”. Contrary to speculation, most fans don’t desire characters from Sony’s Spider-Man Universe to be part of Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) during the climax of the Multiverse Saga, particularly for the ending of “Avengers: Secret Wars”, with Tom Hardy’s Venom being an exception. It seems that Sony is aware that spectators are likely to bypass “Kraven the Hunter”, as director J.C Chandor has recently encouraged fans to give the film a chance despite past disappointments from Sony Spider-Man Universe films. As of now, it appears that audiences aren’t inclined to heed this call.
Kraven the Hunter will be released in theaters on December 13, 2024.
