As a long-time comic book and movie enthusiast who has witnessed countless highs and lows in the superhero genre, I must admit, I find myself feeling a tad disheartened by the lackluster performance of Sony’s latest offering, “Kraven the Hunter.” With its estimated opening weekend earnings of $15 million or less, it seems the film is set to make history – or rather, infamy – for all the wrong reasons.
In its Thursday preview screenings, Sony’s debut R-rated comic book film “Kraven the Hunter” brought in a modest $2 million, suggesting an opening weekend of around $15 million or less. This could potentially make it the lowest domestic launch for a movie derived from a Marvel comic character (excluding “Elektra” from 20 years ago), surpassing the $15.3 million debut of “Madame Web,” which earned $2.2 million in previews earlier this year.
As a dedicated fan, I’ve got to share some behind-the-scenes insights about the movie “Kraven,” starring Aaron Taylor-Johnson in the lead role. Unfortunately, this production didn’t come cheap, with its budget swelling from an estimated $90 million to a final cost of $110 million due to delays caused by the pandemic and strikes. And if that wasn’t enough, the release date for this highly anticipated film had to be pushed back multiple times.
In addition to Russell Crowe, Ariana DeBose, Fred Hechinger, and Alessandro Nivola, J.C. Chandor’s action-thriller features a character – the vigilante son of a Russian mob boss – who possesses extraordinary physical power.
Kraven’s emergence brings further troubles for Sony, given the challenges posed by Madame Web, as they delve into exploiting the multitude of characters associated with Spider-Man that they hold rights to.
Reviewers are ravaging the film. It’s current score on Rotten Tomatoes is 14 percent.
Sony’s inner circle is promoting the movie as an adult-oriented action flick similar to films like John Wick, rather than a superhero movie based on comics.
In its preview screenings, the upcoming film titled “The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim” raked in $625,000. This Warner Bros. and New Line animated production is set well before the occurrences depicted in “The Lord of the Rings.
