‘Madame Web’ Review: Dakota Johnson Can’t Save This Forgettable ‘Spider’ Money Grab

new superhero movie “Madame Web” tanked at the box office last week and was overwhelmingly panned by critics.In the film, the 34-year-old actress played the titular character of Cassandra Webb/Madame Web, a clairvoyant paramedic linked to the iconic superhero Spider-Man. “Madame Web” earned only $26.2 million over the six-day holiday weekend from its premiere on Valentine’s Day to Presidents Day, per Variety.“Madame Web’s” debut marked the lowest opening for any film in the Sony Spider-Man universe and one of the worst starts for any movie based on a Marvel Comics character.

Premiering at the Telluride Film Festival last year, “Daddio” seemingly came out of nowhere with a starry cast and a minimalist logline. Starring Dakota Johnson and Sean Penn, the film is essentially just a two-hander set in a taxi cab, where a driver (Penn) and the rider (Johnson) basically strike up a long and provocative conversation about life, politics, and their outlooks on the world.

. And where is Dakota Johnson? Happily enjoying a beach getaway with Chris Martin in Mexico, thankyouverymuch.The queen of DGAF moments—and —was spotted in Puerto Vallarta in a bright white one-piece, holding hands with the Coldplay musician. It's not exactly the Amazon, with her mom right before she died, but it'll do.

Dakota Johnson and Chris Martin are still going strong, and enjoying some vacation time together on the beach in Mexico!

Madame Web has registered one of the weakest box office opening weeks of all time for a film based on a Marvel character.The film was released into cinemas around the world on February 14, and in its first six days, it took just $26.2 million (£20.8 million) in the US, and a further $25.7 million (£20.4 million) internationally. This represents an underperformance, even compared to Sony’s recent Morbius, which itself was seen as a commercial disappointment.Based on the Marvel Comics character of the same name, Madame Web stars Dakota Johnson in the lead role as a woman who develops psychic abilities.

In the wake of the dreadful “Madame Web” flop, the central question everyone seems to be asking themselves when it comes to Sony’s Spider-Man Universe (SSMU) is, what the hell is going on over there at that studio? (several post-mortems from Puck and THR are withering in their assessment of the SSMU, and Sony is definitely taking it in the teeth today) While Sony’s superhero movies have flourished when they are Marvel co-productions, “Spider-Man: No Way Home,” grossing almost $2 billion during the 2021 pandemic, and the “Spider-Verse” are big critical and commercial hits under Christopher Lord and Phil Miller, everything else appears to be a wash of late.

Dakota Johnson is revealing whether or not she has seen Madame Web!

). The schedule can be packed and grueling. You have to smile and grit your teeth through photo opp after photo opp, nod along in every interview.Yet most actors have to play along with the game, never showing their annoyance or fatigue in order to avoid being labeled difficult or ungrateful, an asshole if they are a man and a diva if they are a woman.

As many predicted, “Madame Web” is a terrible movie, but let’s not say the same for Dakota Johnson‘s recent press tour for Sony‘s “Spider-Verse” spinoff. The actress has been publicity gold the past few weeks discussing the film.

Dakota Johnson admitted her three Gen Z co-stars in her new film "Madame Web" make her feel old. "I love them, and they annoy me, and I love them," the 34-year-old joked to "Late Night" host Seth Myers last week. She confirmed she meant she was annoyed on a "generational level," telling Myers "all the time, every second of the day" after he asked when Sydney Sweeney, 26, Celeste O’Connor, 25, and Isabela Merced, 22, made her feel the oldest.

Angelique Jackson If you’re looking to get your daily dose of Sydney Sweeney movies this Valentine’s Day, look no further than your local multiplex — the star just swung into theaters with “Madame Web” and a special re-release of “Anyone but You.” Since its holidays debut, the R-rated rom-com starring Sweeney and Glen Powell has raked in more than $170 million worldwide and continues its theatrical run with “The Valentine’s Encore.” “I just want to thank everybody for loving it as much as we enjoyed making it,” Sweeney said at the “Madame Web” premiere on Monday night. “People want to have something that brings everyone together and they can laugh and they can cry, and they can sing and dance and just have that community shared feeling of enjoyment.

Today is Valentine’s Day, and that means only one thing— “Madame Web” is in theaters. And as the next several days play out, Sony is going to look at a couple of things.

Dakota Johnson‘s new comments about her movie Madame Web might explain why she decided to sign on for the project, which is now getting very poor reviews.

Dakota Johnson has shared her opinions on the state of the film industry, particularly regarding streaming services.Speaking with L’Officiel, Johnson, who has been promoting her new movie Madame Web, shared: “I am discovering that it’s really fucking bleak in this industry. It is majorly disheartening.”She continued: “The people who run streaming platforms don’t trust creative people or artists to know what’s going to work, and that is just going to make us implode.”The Fifty Shades Of Grey star added: “It’s really heartbreaking.

In a recent interview with EW, Madame Web star Dakota Johnson mentioned the experience of working on a film set working so much with blue and green screen saying, “I was like, ‘I don’t know if this is going to be good at all!” She said that because when you can’t see what’s happening, how do you know how it will turn out. If only she could have seen what I saw while watching this chaotic mess of a movie where the failure lies solely on the studio. Directed by S.J. Clarkson, and written by Clarkson, Matt Sazama, Burk Sharpless, and Claire Parker, the film stars Johnson, Sydney Sweeney, Isabela Merced, Celeste O’Connor, Tahar Rahim, Adam Scott, Emma Roberts, and Omar Epps.

Madame Web has been branded an “embarrassing mess” in the first reactions to the fourth instalment in the Sony Spider-Man Universe.The premiere for the film, which stars Dakota Johnson in the lead role as a woman who develops psychic abilities, was held in Los Angeles last night (February 12).Based on the Marvel Comics character of the same name, the movie also stars The White Lotus’ Sydney Sweeney, as well as Emma Roberts and Adam Scott.

Talented stars wasted on probably the worst comic book movie I have ever seen.

But given Merced’s incredibly busy production schedule over the next few months, she might want to look into the power of teleportation. On Monday night, Merced posed on the black carpet outside the Regency Village Theatre in Westwood with “Madame Web” stars Dakota Johnson, Sydney Sweeney and Celeste O’Connor for the world premiere of Sony and Marvel’s superhero movie.
