Madame Web, featuring Dakota Johnson in a leading role, opened with a domestic gross of about $26 million in its first six days, according to Deadline. Industry coverage noted that while this start is not strong, the film could still be viewed as acceptable if its weekly total surpasses the $50 million mark.
Observers highlighted that the initial $26 million represents the weakest launch to date for Sony’s Spider-Man cinematic universe, a notable contrast to even the franchise’s earlier entries. Morbius, despite its uncertain reception, pulled in roughly $39 million in its initial days, a benchmark that underscores how Madame Web’s debut differs in scale and momentum.
Madame Web centers on Cassandra Webb, a nurse who discovers she possesses the ability to glimpse the future and seeks to influence what lies ahead. Alongside Johnson, the film features a cast including Sydney Sweeney, Isabela Merced, Emma Roberts, Adam Scott, and Celeste O’Connor, with direction by SJ Clarkson.
Johnson appeared at the film’s Los Angeles premiere, recognizing its arrival on the red carpet. The event added to the anticipation surrounding the project and its reception among audiences and critics alike.
Meanwhile, broader entertainment coverage noted a separate trend, observing that audiences in Russia have shown significant interest in a recent series, illustrating the continuing global appetite for serialized storytelling and blockbuster franchises.
