Sony Pictures' recent superhero film, Mrs. Spider, suffered a serious setback at the box office and word of mouth after its global release. Since the film was released in the Chinese mainland market for three days, the word-of-mouth box office has hit the streets, attracting widespread attention and discussion in the industry.
First of all, from the perspective of word-of-mouth, the performance of "Madame Spider" is really unsatisfactory. At present, the film's rating on the Douban platform is only 51 point, far from reaching the passing mark. Many viewers expressed their disappointment with the film after watching it, believing that it was a work that lacked creativity and freshness. The character setting, storyline, and actors' performance in the film failed to impress the audience, and were even criticized as bland and unremarkable.
Secondly, from the box office side, "Mrs. Spider" also suffered a heavy blow. At present, the single-day box office of the film has fallen to only 600,000 yuan, and the final box office in the mainland will not exceed 8 million yuan. Such box office results are undoubtedly a huge blow to a superhero movie with a huge budget. At the same time, the film has also performed poorly at the global box office, with a cumulative box office of only about $80 million.
Considering that the cost of the film is as high as $80 million, such a box office result obviously cannot make Sony Pictures return to its original cost, and it can be said that it is a loss.
