Summary

  • Kraven the Hunter flopped at the box office, but Alessandro Nivola’s other film, The Brutalist, is faring better.
  • Despite The Brutalist outperforming Kraven, Nivola humorously questioned how to react.
  • Nivola’s humorous response on Twitter garnered fan support, showcasing a positive outlook on the situation.

In a different take of speech, Kraven the Hunter turned out to be another flop at the box office within the Sony Spider-Man Universe. Yet, an actor found humor in this situation as they are currently shining in a more prosperous movie that’s drawing crowds to cinemas.

In another role, Alessandro Nivola shared screen time with Kraven the Hunter, portraying Aleksei Sytsevich – a Russian mercenary who underwent an experiment that bestowed upon him the extraordinary power to morph into a formidable human-rhino hybrid. Notably, Kraven the Hunter failed to impress at the box office, underperforming even compared to other lackluster productions in the Sony Spider-Man Universe like Morbius and Madame Web. Fortunately for Nivola, he also appears in The Brutalist, a highly successful period drama that is considered a strong contender for this year’s Best Picture award at the Oscars ceremony.

As a passionate cinephile, I’ve been thrilled to see my favorite film, “The Brutalist,” expanding its reach from limited release in late December to more theaters starting January. Over its fourth weekend of release and first significant expansion, “The Brutalist” made an impressive $1.3 million at the box office. Interestingly, this figure surpassed what “Kraven the Hunter” earned that weekend by roughly a million dollars, despite “The Brutalist” being screened in nearly 1,000 fewer theaters!

Collider reported this surprising news, and the star of “The Brutalist,” Raúl Nivola, shared a screenshot of their report on Twitter. In a humorous twist, he asked fans how he should react when one of his films is underperforming at the box office while another is doing well. He provided three options: quitting, celebrating, or simply enjoying a gummy and relaxing!

Fans humorously interacted with Nivola’s post, as Twitter user @DeadballDomain suggested he should enjoy the gummy because they didn’t recognize him in Kraven the Hunter and The Brutalist, even after watching both films within a week. In response, Nivola quipped, “That’s been my whole career,” accompanied by a “face with tears of joy” emoji. Luckily for Nivola, he appeared to win another ticket for Kraven the Hunter, as @saturnstelliums admitted they didn’t know he was in it and decided to buy a ticket to watch the movie, all happening just a day after the digital release of Kraven the Hunter.

It’s possible that Nivola, being aware of the potential struggles ahead, was prepared to manage the underperformance at the box office for the Spider-Man Universe movie. While Tony Vinciquerra found Kraven the Hunter‘s poor performance perplexing, early predictions suggested the film would bomb. The success of The Brutalist and its rise as an awards season contender might have softened any disappointment caused by Kraven the Hunter. This could be a clear demonstration of the saying, “You take your wins and learn from your losses.

Kraven the Hunter is available on digital platforms.
