Madame Web flopped with critics and with audience. Its star is not surprised. In a new interview, Dakota Johnson said the poor reviews for her Spider-Man spinoff — which currently has a 12 percent on Rotten Tomatoes — were not unexpected, at least by her. “Unfortunately, I’m not surprised that this has gone down the way it has,” Johnson told Bustle. “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 bulls—.” The implicati...

While Stan Lee and Steve Ditko created Spider-Man while working for Marvel Comics, and Marvel holds the rights to Spidey in the world of publishing, Sony actually controls the rights to make Spider-Man movies. (You can blame Marvel’s bad decade in the 1990s for that; they were so hard up for cash at the time they sold the rights to Spidey movies and shows to Sony for just $7 million. That’s it!) As long as Sony keeps pumping out Spider-Man movies — good or bad, hit or flop — they hold those rights in perpetuity. And they can also make Spider-Man spinoff films, featuring characters who originat...

Lorenzo di Bonaventura wanted to keep Madame Web detached from the rest of Sony’s Spider-Man Universe. The 67-year-old producer worked on the new superhero film and revealed how he and director S.J. Clarkson felt it would be better for the development of Dakota Johnson’s character Cassie Webb if a standalone approach was taken. In an interview with Collider, Lorenzo said: “Before I was involved there was a script, and before S.J. was involved as well. Both of us really saw the advantage in not having the burden of the attachment of all this other stuff that has gone on.” “You’d be silly to thi...

The following post contains minor spoilers for Madame Web. Do you care about Madame Web spoilers at this point? I didn’t think so. Extremely observant Spider-Man fans have made a shocking discovery in the new Spidey spinoff Madame Web: It is not very good. No, okay, that is not the shocking discovery; even the casually observant Spidey fans have observed that part. But there is a legitimately surprising thing in this movie — a snippet from Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man 2 wound up being repurposed out of context in Madame Web. You can see the footage below. It’s a point of view shot from Spider-Man 2....

Madame Webhad an opening weekend that made the bad box office totals of recent Marvel releases look great in comparison. The Marvels, for example, was the worst film in all of the Marvel Cinematic Universe from a box office perspective; it only grossed $46 million in its opening weekend on the way to making about $200 million worldwide during its entire run in theaters. And that was the worst opening the MCU had ever had. Madame Web would kill for those kinds of numbers. In its opening weekend the Spider-Man spinoff grossed only $26.2 million in the U.S. and $51.9 million worldwide. That makes...

With great power comes great responsibility … and sometimes great movies. (Other times, not so much.) As hard as it may be to believe, the Spider-Man film franchise is now more than 20 years old. Or maybe Spider-Man franchises is more accurate. What started as one trilogy of films by Sam Raimi has now been rebooted and re-rebooted, and then spun off into unexpected directions featuring characters tangentially related to Spider-Man as part of Sony’s efforts to turn their deal with Marvel for the Friendly Neighborhood Web-Slinger into a cinematic universe all their own. Most of those spinoff mov...

Dakota Johnson has revealed that “drastic changes” were made to the script of Madame Web after she was cast in the film. The 34-year-old actress plays the title character in the new superhero movie and explained how the script was altered completely once she had signed up for the flick. Johnson told TheWrap: “There were drastic changes. And I can’t even tell you what they were.” The star’s character in the Sony Spider-Man Universe movie has the ability to see the future but this meant an increased workload as she needed to film several versions of the same scene. Johnson said: “It added so man...

The first time Marvel’s logo played on the big screen, it wasn’t technically on a Marvel film. Those now-ubiquitous white-on-red letters emerging from the flipping pages of a comic made their cinematic debut in front of 2002’s Spider-Man, produced and distributed by Sony. When Marvel started their own studio a few years later, they updated the logo for their own use; instead of a comic, the word “Marvel” gradually materialized out of scenes from the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and shots of stars like Robert Downey Jr. and Chris Evans. Studios like Sony who license Marvel characters can’t use th...

The reviews of Madame Web are here. Spoiler alert: They’re not amazing. Or at least they’re not amazingly good. If you’ve been following along with the news around this movie — like, say, the report that star Dakota Johnson left her longtime agency for new representation “just days after a baffling first trailer debuted” — you know that the buzz has not been great. (Stars of blockbusters opening in theaters typically do not give quotes about how “f—ing so hard” it is “to get anything made” in Hollywood because the people who run streaming services “don’t trust creative people.”) Johnson plays ...
