    A $26m worldwide opening weekend isn’t great, is it.

    So that’ll be streaming on PVOD next week, with the 4K and Blu-ray two weeks later then, I guess? 😆

    No advertising that I could see probably didn’t help. I keep up to date on movies and didn’t even know its launch date was this weekend until about a week ago.

    How do you get average Joe blow movie goer to even get interested if you don’t advertise it? Tax right off?

    It was not the worst Sony-marvel movie. It would be much better if they didn’t create the stupid Kraven is a super-lion-blood/witch-magic superhero back story. Also the movie seems like they needed less or better characters, I think the brother and one of the villains should have been excluded from the film entirely.

      It’s not.

      It’s part of Sony’s Spider-Man Universe, same as the Venom movies, Morbius, and Madame Web.

        The Things Sony Has The Rights To Cinematic Universe is such a weird thing to make.

        It doesn’t even have Spider-Man in it. There’s seemingly no direction or underlying plot to work towards. It doesn’t even seem to make any money.

        Wtf is it for?
