00:00Craven the Hunter took a shot but missed at the box office.
00:09Sony's first R-rated comic book movie bombed in its domestic box office debut this weekend,
00:14hunting down only $11 million to come in third behind Thanksgiving blockbusters Moana 2 and
00:20Wicked.
00:21Craven surpassed Madame Web and is now the worst start ever for a Sony-produced Marvel
00:26comic book movie, and one of the worst for any pick based on a Marvel character.
00:30Craven, starring Aaron Taylor-Johnson as the title anti-hero, wasn't cheap, costing $110
00:36million to make instead of an intended $90 million because of pandemic and strike-related
00:41delays.
00:42Its release date was also pushed several times.
00:45J.C. Chandler's action-thriller follows the vigilante son of a Russian gangster who has
00:50incredible strength, and also starred Russell Crowe, Ariana DeBose, Fred Heshinger, and
00:55Alessandro Nivola.
00:56Craven is more bad news for Sony following Madame Web, as it tries to mine the hundreds
01:01of Spider-Man-related characters it has the rights to.
01:10Elsewhere the Moana sequel sped past the $700 million mark globally as it heads for the
01:15$1 billion mark, and Wicked sang past the $500 million mark in worldwide ticket sales
01:21in its fourth weekend.
