#MadameWeb bombs with $15.2M 3-day weekend debut

Without checking is this the lowest CBM debut EVER?

Sony has 6-day at just $25.8M

Madame Web is the latest superhero movie to absolutely bomb it's box office debut. With a lower budget than other failures (~$100 million) this is less of a sting for developer Sony. Although the point of financial success on this movie is probably pegged somewhere closed to $200 million. This continues a recent tradition of making incredibly expensive movies that seem to fail at building an audience.

One weekend in, Madame Web is being called the worst Spider-Man movie of all time. Not exactly a warm reception. I mean, some of these reviews are just absolutely brutal.

Even reviews from media outlets that would be more likely to support the female-led superhero genre, everyone seems united in the opinion that this movie was a massive miss.

Are female-skewing superhero movies dead? Or maybe just the entire superhero category is toast at this point? What do you think?
