Kraven the Hunter: The American box office… only $2 million during Thursday previews!

And the superheroic year 2024 ends as it began, with a final failure of Sony’s Spider-Man Universe… Yesterday, during the Thursday previews, Kraven the Hunter raised $2 million in the United States, less than Venom : The Last Dance (8.5 million) and Morbius (5.7 million). This is therefore the worst result in the history of the SSU – Madame Web did not benefit from previews – and it is even the worst start in history for a Marvel/DC Comics live action production, putting aside the releases of the Covidian era (The New Mutants : 0.75 million). Suffice to say that the carrots are cooked at home, with a catastrophic first weekend which should barely match that ofElektra (12.8 million). PS: because bidding together is always better, The Lord of the Rings: War of the Rohirrim only raised $625,000 during its previews…
