A female-led superhero movie on Valentine's Day was definitely not a bad idea. From both the trailers and the ads though, little to no people had faith in Madame Web. That Sony made it just to cash in on Spider-Man was called by pretty much everybody and yeah, no wonder the movie's bombing as bad as it is.

[up] (2) Did he?

Akira Toriyama (April 5 1955 - March 1, 2024).

Yeah, it obviously wasn't conceived as a Valentine's movie, but it wasn't a bad marketing move. One theater is advertising now that couples watch it to make fun of it. The movie also did get like ~44% female viewers which is pretty good for a superhero movie. If it was mostly dates, that would also explain that it was almost equal numbers.

Even Sydney Sweeney was making fun of this in her SNL monologue.

"You might've seen me in Anyone but You or Euphoria. You definitely did not see me in Madame Web."

That's a pretty funny dig and coming from her, it helps a lot.

Totally forgot that a drop of lion's blood is what gives Kraven his abilities in that trailer. Again, we'll see what we'll see.

[up] As has Dakota Johnson.

"It’s so hard to get movies made, and in these big movies that get made — and it’s even starting to happen with the little ones, which is what’s really freaking me out — decisions are being made by committees, and art does not do well when it’s made by committee. Films are made by a filmmaker and a team of artists around them. You cannot make art based on numbers and algorithms. My feeling has been for a long time that audiences are extremely smart, and executives have started to believe that they’re not. Audiences will always be able to sniff out bullsh*t. Even if films start to be made with AI, humans aren’t going to f*cking want to see those.

But it was definitely an experience for me to make that movie. I had never done anything like it before. I probably will never do anything like it again because I don’t make sense in that world. And I know that now. But sometimes in this industry, you sign on to something, and it’s one thing and then as you’re making it, it becomes a completely different thing, and you’re like, Wait, what? But it was a real learning experience, and of course it’s not nice to be a part of something that’s ripped to shreds, but I can’t say that I don’t understand."

I think they'll both be okay career wise. Feel more bad for Celeste O'Connor and Isabela Merced. At least Merced will be Hawkgirl in superman.

Dakota Johnson will be fine. She has a billion dollar franchise under her belt, plus nepotism on her side.

There's a reason she's in general so willing to be candid or blatantly phone in performances.

-briefly thinks Dakota Johnson is related to Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson before googling her actual relation-

Akira Toriyama (April 5 1955 - March 1, 2024).

Celeste O'Connor has Frozen Empire coming out soon too, so hopefully she recovers as well. Isabela Merced already had a lot of good-will before this movie and still got plenty after it too.

Yeah. It became clear at a certain point that Sony was not worrying about quality, they were worrying about selling a brand—their most lucrative one—that they're afraid to lose.

[up][up] Well in that case they should care about quality because no-one cares about their brand now.

Like these aren't Ashcan copies, they don't have to churn out 3 movies this year to keep the license. They're hoping to making money from them.

[up][up]Oh my bad. They. Sorry.

They're also trying to retain success outside of the MCU. Aside from the Spider-Verse movies, its proven to not be an entirely fruitful effort. How Kraven does will probably make it or break it now.

Madame Web already is the last straw for so many as is.

Morbius is now on Disney Plus.

...

I.

Am genuinely.

Unsure why?

Like. Marvel doesn't own distribution rights for the films Sony makes. Disney would have had to pay Sony money. To license Morbius.

Because Disney is a lot more likely to get something out of memes than Sony is?

Since Sony doesn't have its own distribution platform, they have generally have contracts with platforms to rotate their stuff. This is probably just part of their agreement with Disney, like how sometimes there is or is not a Spider-verse on any given platform at any given time. Or hell, I think Venom is on there right now.

They don't have someone at Disney picking and choosing everything that makes it onto D+ and haggling over prices.

Isn't Morbius currently on Netflix now? Sony movies usually go to Netflix. I was figuring Madame Web would eventually go to Netflix where more people will probably see it at that point than those who paid for tickets. Haha.

It's definitely on Netflix and not Disney plus in the UK at least. Probably a regional thing.

#2095: Mar 7th 2024 at 2:31:02 PM

[up][up]That counts as part of the movie's 1:52 runtime by the way. Haha.

[up]Exactly. I mean I did pay for a ticket to the movie. I seriously doubt that means much given the low domestic performance though.

Daily Mail said Sony is mad at Johnson for making fun of the movie’s failure and not taking responsibility:
