Madame Web’s opening box office projection has arrived, and it’s getting roasted by the online community – with comparisons to another Marvel-based movie flop.
To clear up any confusion, Madame Web is part of Sony’s Spider-Man Universe (SSU) – meaning it’s Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) canon.
The movie stars Dakota Johnson as Cassandra Webb, a New York paramedic who gains psychic abilities and uses her powers to protect three young women with powerful futures.

Ahead of its release, Madame Web has become the subject of ridicule online thanks to its meme-worthy trailer, and now it’s getting roasted for its prospective box office opening.
Deadline reports that the Spider-Man spinoff is tracking to open with $25 million over the first six days at the box office – and it’s led to Madame Web getting rinsed online (again).
Taking to the comments section of a tweet about this figure, one wrote, “Half it,” while another quipped, “One of the movies of all time,” suggesting it will be unremarkable.

“For a 6-day opening, that’s atrocious,” added a third, to which a fourth replied, “Damn these superhero movies are tanking.” And a fifth chimed in, “Most people don’t even know Madame Web is supposed to be a superhero, that’s how bad it’s been marketed.”
