There’s a saying among filmmakers about comedy movies and that is you can’t keep them on the shelf for long or else they’ll go stale.
The same is equally true about superhero films, and it’s a fate that Sony‘s Kraven the Hunter suffered this past weekend, becoming the lowest opening in the studio’s Marvel canon with $11 million 3-day.
The bombing is the third strike for Sony Marvel following duds 2022’s Morbius ($73.8M) and Madame Web ($43.8M) earlier this year. These are films made strictly by the Sony brass without the nuance of Lord & Miller who steer their Spiderverse animated movies MCU Boss Kevin Feige and Amy Pascal who shepherd their Tom Holland MCU movies. Combined the Holland titles and Spiderverse have grossed $6.85 billion worldwide. Sony has owned the Spider-Man and friends portion of the Marvel library separate from Disney’s Marvel Cinematic Universe since 1999.

Recently, we heard about Madame Web‘s set of problems: Last-minute 20-30 pages cuts before production started sending the filmmakers into a quandary, a first-time feature film director in S.J. Clarkson, and lackluster dailies which weren’t corrected down the road by the producers. Let’s also not forget how Sony didn’t double down in selling the movie on its newfound Anyone But You box office star Sydney Sweeney.
Any melee on the set of the Oscar nominated J.C. Chandor directed movie is unheard of at this point in time. Production on Kraven the Hunter commenced in 2022 with reshoots occurring after the actors strike wrapped in November 2023. In the movie Nocturnal Animals Golden Globe winner Aaron Taylor-Johnson stars as the son of a ruthless gangster father (Russell Crowe), who starts him down a path of vengeance with brutal consequences, only to become the greatest hunter in the world. In the comic-books, the bare-chested, leopard-pant, and leather vest wearing rifleman is known as one of the notable adversaries to Spider-Man.
Sony
Hence, we’re told, that what Kraven the Hunter fell victim to was being a victim of circumstance in an oversaturated superhero marketplace and audience’s changing attitudes toward the genre. Read, Sony Marvel’s problems aren’t any different from Disney’s Marvel Studios (Marvels, Eternals) or for that matter Warner Bros’ DC Studios (The Flash, Shazam 2, Aquaman 2, etc).
For Sony that cultural shift with superhero movies was further compounded by the actors and writers’ strikes. Kraven the Hunter couldn’t be hurried along in reshoots and rewrites.
Disney
True, the re-starting of production drove up costs on any major tentpole caught in the strike vortex; Kraven the Hunter spiking from $90M to $110M. While the movie was being cut during the strikes, it was decided to go back for reshoots once the actors and writers’ standoff ceased. Even at $90M, an $11M start is embarrassing (Sony will contend that they make their superhero movies cheaper than the competition’s $200M-$350M-plus average). By comparison, Disney Marvel’s Deadpool & Wolverine also faced strike stop-and-start problems, but remained the diamond in the rough in the storm of superhero-itis, benefitting from being a long-awaited bawdy sequel not to mention the dynamic duo pairing of Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman. At the end of the day, Deadpool & Wolverine is the highest grossing R-rated movie of all-time at $1.33 billion.
Kraven the Hunter was developed back in 2018 when half-assed superhero movies could do no wrong. Sony got away in making a fan appreciated, though critically disdained Venom franchise which is netting them some $400M in profit off a combined $1.8 billion in global grosses. Chandor, who previously directed the Mark Boal co-scripted Triple Frontier for Netflix, became attached to Kraven the Hunter during Covid in August 2020. He was attracted by the prospects of making a grounded gangster film. Nocturnal Animals Golden Globe winner Taylor-Johnson signed on to the title role in May 2021. The $1.95 billion grossing phenomenal success of Sony and Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Spider-Man: No Way Home three years ago only cemented the Culver City lot’s belief that superhero movies were invincible — until myriad low points followed, indicating that fanboys would no longer accept cookie cutter titles, i.e. Sony’s Morbius in the spring of 2022 ($73.8M, $167.4M WW), MCU’s sequel The Marvels in November 2023 ($84.5M domestic, $206.1M WW) and previous dud Madame Web ($43.8M domestic, $100.4M WW).
Further complicating Sony’s expansion of the Spider-Man universe is that Sony can’t use Tom Holland’s live-action MCU character willy nilly. They received a clearance to have the webslinger make a cameo at the end of 2021’s Venom: Let There Be Carnage.
Sony originally dated Kraven the Hunter for MLK weekend 2023 before moving it to October 6, 2023. The initial footage and announcement that the title would be the first R-rated Spidey universe movie was announced at CinemaCon that year in April. The first trailer dropped on June 16. As the strike got underway in July, Sony pushed Kraven the Hunter more than a year to Labor Day weekend 2024. Scared by the heat around Beetlejuice Beetlejuice in the post Labor Day corridor, Sony shifted Kraven the Hunter to the prized pre-holiday mid-December frame where they launched Jumanji: The Next Level ($59.2M) and Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse ($35.3M) to great success. Rival motion picture marketing execs believe that Kraven the Hunter would have fared better as a 4-day launch in order to collect the most money possible. It’s all about the first weekend with superhero movies before they dropped like a rock in weekend 2. Despite the Christmas holiday’s history for a 5x-plus multiple on releases, Kraven the Hunter will have a hard time holding screens against Disney’s Mufasa, Paramount’s Sonic the Hedgehog and still powerful Thanksgiving tentpoles Wicked and Moana 2. It doesn’t matter that it’s the only R-rated fanboy movie on the marquee, the pic has very limited word of mouth in its C CinemaScore.
Social Media analytics corp RelishMix noticed zero heat around the Sony Marvel animal man before his opening with 278.9M followers across TikTok, Facebook, X, YouTube and Instagram combined. That paled in comparison to the social media universe of such bombs The Marvels (599M followers) and Madame Web (424M followers).
In regards to the poor word of mouth on Kraven the Hunter that RelishMix noticed: “Many viewers are unassuaged in their apprehension to taking a C-list comic book character and giving him his own movie. Comments include, ‘He’s a super-VILLAIN! Why does Sony want to make Spider-man’s rogues gallery good(ish)?!’ and, “Here comes Sony’s annual
Sony tells Deadline that they didn’t cut back on their P&A spend for Kraven the Hunter heading into the weekend, however, we’ve heard from others close to the film that the studio opted not to air some pre-booked TV spots. When it comes to being financially responsible, Sony isn’t stupid, and they will not throw good money after bad. Seeing the storm, Sony scaled back their skin on Kraven the Hunter from 75% to 50% with TSG upping their share. Sony has an option twice a year for TSG to bump up their stakes on movies.
What happens now?
L to R: director J.C. Chandor, producer Matt Tolmach, Aaron Taylor-Johnson,
Sony isn’t turning their backs on Chandor having had a great experience working with the filmmaker. As Deadline told you first, Sony is back in business with Chandor with the director helming an untitled contemporary drama thriller centering around the polemics of capitalism, the story centering around an investigation into a death in a moneyed dynastic family.
As far as more Sony Marvel goes, we understand that there are a couple of projects in the works, but the studio’s development team is in full reset mode on their Marvel fare, taking what one talent rep says is a “ruthless attitude” going forward on whether Spidey’s friends and foes have a future life on the big screen.
