Paramount’s Bob Marley: One Love did $3.85M yesterday, and though down 73% from its opening day Wednesday, that’s because it was such a big first day with a record midweek of $14M. This puts the Reinaldo Marcus Green directed biopic in the vicinity of a $35M-$38M six-day opening.
Bob Marley is booked at 3,536 theaters.
Meanwhile, Sony/Marvel’s Madame Web did $2.15M on Thursday, -64% for a two-day of $8.2M. It could still get to $20M, but, man, oh, man, those audience scores are rough. Two stars on PostTrak so far for a 58% from general audiences. Overall 53% guys attending to 47% women. For some reason parents (mostly dads at 62%) and kids under 12 saw a different movie: They both gave it 4 1/2 stars. Madame Web is nesting at 4,103 locations.
Social Media analytics corp RelishMix notices that with Madame Web, nobody is really excited about it.
“Naysayers are referencing ‘superhero fatigue’, but specifically the female centric and female group sub-genre comping the recent MCU The Marvels, saying “This is another The Marvels concept. Why do they keep making assemble teams.’ Some are confused with Dakota Johnson’s casting due to the differences to the character in the comics, saying “I thought Madame Web was an old-crippled lady that sometimes helped Spider-Man with her visions?’ The movie was also mockingly compared repeatedly to another of Sony’s Spider-Man-less Spidey films, Morbius, with many feeling the scale is very small compared to other superhero adventures, reminding them of ‘a CW show’.”
RelishMix also notices that despite Madame Web having the social media superpower of Sydney Sweeney’s near 20M followers, pic’s social media universe at 424M across TikTok, Instagram, X, Facebook and YouTube views is running -44% behind other superhero movies. Though higher than Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom‘s 334.3M, it’s lower than The Marvels‘ 600M reach.
