The financial failure of “Kraven” stung more after “Madame Web,” starring Dakota Johnson, flopped, taking home only $100 million, and “Venom: The Last Dance” became the lowest grossing film in the franchise. Of “Madame Web,” Vinciquerra blames film critics for its failure.

"Sony's Universe of Spider-Man Characters," which was the original name the studio gave to its attempt at creating its own mini-MCU, was clear to everyone

"For some reason, the press decided that they didn’t want us making these films out of 'Kraven' and 'Madame Web,' and the critics just destroyed them."

When asked about the splashy failure of the Spider-Man-adjacent Kraven, which has yet to cross the $20 million mark in the U.S. in its first two weeks, Vinciquerra admits the long-delayed superhero movie was “probably the worst launch” Sony had during his tenure. But he stands up for the Aaron Taylor-Johnson vehicle, calling it “not a bad film.”
