Box Office: ‘Kraven the Hunter’ Aims for Weak $15 Million in Opening Weekend

"Kraven the Hunter" is targeting a paltry $13 million to $15 million in its domestic debut.

The comic book spinoff, set in Sony’s universe of Marvel characters, is targeting a paltry $13 million to $15 million from 3,200 theaters its opening weekend. Based on projections, “Kraven the Hunter” could contend with February’s misfire “Madame Web” ($15.3 million debut) for the ignominious distinction of the lowest start among Sony-produced Marvel adventures. Aaron Taylor-Johnson stars as the eponymous antihero in the R-rated film, which faced a litany of pandemic and strike-related release date delays on its long and winding journey to theaters. “Kraven” cost an upward of $110 million to produce (it was greenlit for $90 but ballooned after last year’s writers and actors strikes), which ended up being considerably more than the $80 million price tag for “Madame Web” but far less than rival studios like Disney or Warner Bros. typically pump into superhero tentpoles. “Kraven,” the first in Sony’s Spider-Man Universe with an R rating, was co-financed by TSG.

Plenty of other good options at the theatre like Moana 2, Wicked, and that badly animated Lord of the Rings cartoon….

I can’t believe that fucking Sonic the Hedgehog 3 is gonna be one of the better blockbusters this year lmao

The general audience, pretty much like the casuals, don't even know who the fuck this guy is. Excellent move from Sony. Whats next? A movie about Peter nerd friend? Or maybe a movie about aunt May.

Kraven going to be a massive success. That assumes the tried and true strategy of "Using a barely known character leads to great success" works out.

/S
