Despite her significant role in “Madame Web,” Sydney Sweeney couldn’t resist poking fun at the film’s dismal box office performance during her recent appearance on Saturday Night Live. Sweeney, known for her roles in “Anyone But You” and “Euphoria,” humorously acknowledged that audiences likely haven’t seen her in “Madame Web.”
The Box Office Struggles of “Madame Web”
“Madame Web” has faced an uphill battle at the box office, grossing only around $80 million against a budget of nearly $100 million. With the film needing to double its earnings to break even, its prospects for profitability appear slim. Despite being released on February 14, “Madame Web” has failed to gain significant traction, leaving little hope for a successful theatrical run.
Critics and audiences alike have been unkind to the film, with a dismal 13 percent rating on the Rotten Tomatoes Tomatometer and a lukewarm audience score of 57 percent. Compared to Sony’s previous release, “Morbius,” “Madame Web” has fared even worse, further compounding its troubles.
Looking Ahead
With negative reception and little chance of a box office resurgence, “Madame Web” has joined the ranks of disappointing films in a tumultuous year for the industry. Sweeney’s lighthearted jab at the film’s lackluster performance reflects the reality of its reception among audiences and critics.
As Sony has yet to announce plans for streaming availability, the future of “Madame Web” remains uncertain. However, Sweeney’s candid acknowledgment of the film’s shortcomings suggests low expectations for its future viewership.
