Well, at least it’s better than last weekend.

Our number one film, as expected, is Bob Marley: One Love, with the biopic surpassing tracking with $27 million over three days and $45 million since opening on Wednesday. Paramount may have initially imagined this as a grand Oscar contender for them, but they made the right call by releasing it over Valentine’s Day. Walk the Line this ain’t, as critics gave it a collective shrug, and with Ziggy Marley in the producer’s chair, it was extremely apparent from the marketing that this movie was going to put a halo over its subject’s head. Still, that seems to be exactly what audiences wanted from this, so Bob should have no trouble keeping the top spot next weekend as well.

But you’re not here to read about that. You’re here to read about Madame Web, which performed how everyone thought it would, which means it made $15 million over the three-day weekend and has webbed up $23 million over five days. That’s…bad. Actually, that’s worse than Morbius, which opened to $39 million over three days back in 2022 (go figure it was released on April 1st). To be fair, the Morb had terrible legs, finishing its domestic run with $73 million, but let’s be real: there’s no way Madame Web is ever going to reach even that.

What went wrong here? Well, what didn’t go wrong. From the moment its trailer premiered online, Madame Web became a joke, and reshoots seem to have only made everything even messier. Sony held a review embargo on this one until the very last minute (no surprise there), and once it got out that this isn’t a movie about a bunch of girls becoming Spider-Women but is instead teasing future installments that will almost certainly never get made, well, let’s just say that Madame Web was deader than Charlotte was after she saved Wilbur the pig.

I’ve been seeing comparisons to The Marvels here, as though they are somehow in the same ballpark as far as bombing goes. Sorry, but they aren’t. The Marvels was a follow-up to a 2019 superhero film that made more than $1 billion worldwide and somehow cost upwards of $270 million to make. Madame Web was trying to build a new franchise around a largely obscure comic book character. In other words, The Marvels really should have made more money, while Madame Web is ultimately behaving exactly as we can expect it to. That being said, if you start hearing the words “superhero fatigue” in various entertainment blogs this week (and I know you will), rest assured that Deadpool and Wolverine will put an end to that when it comes out in July.

Elsewhere at the box office, we have Jesus again with another batch of episodes from The Chosen, which was good enough for fifth place. There was also something called Land of Bad which I hadn’t heard of before, but hey, it apparently stars Russell Crowe, which I guess was enough to squeeze it into the top ten.
