Madame Web Struggles at the Box Office, Faces Tough Competition from New Releases and Established Hits

The superhero film Madame Web is struggling at the box office, with only $6 million raised in its second weekend in the United States and a worldwide total of $77 million. This performance is weaker than recent flops such as The Marvels, Shazam! Fury of the Gods, Blue Beetle, Morbius, and even the 2015 film Fantastic Four. The North American box office Top 10 includes a number of new films, including the new Demon Slayer movie, the financially weak drama Ordinary Angels starring Hilary Swank, and Ethan Coen's comedy Drive-Away Dolls.
