It's the first in a planned series.
I know.
Trust me, I've seen a LOT of slop on Amazon Prime and Tubi - I'd gladly take the SSU and DCEU movies in a heartbeat over those.
How do you feel about the performance of the film studio during your tenure?
We’ve had mostly very, very good results. Unfortunately, [Kraven the Hunter] that we launched last weekend, and my last film launch, is probably the worst launch we had in the 7½ years so that didn’t work out very well, which I still don’t understand, because the film is not a bad film.
If Kraven the Hunter is "not a bad film", then I'm terrified to see what he considers a bad film.
As he prepares to leave Sony Pictures, Tony Vinciquerra reflects on his time at the helm of the Culver City film and TV studio and defends "Madame Web" and "Kraven the Hunter." "These are not terrible films."

Look, I don't know what made-up arguments you've been in, but whenever I post online, no one has ever tried to dismiss my experiences as untrue.

I think it's just the 4K.
The Universal Blu-ray appears to have the acene, but I'm not sure about the Arrow release.
So, I take it this earns your...seal of approval?
Thought we wouldn't notice, but we did.
Feels so good to finally have an official PeerTube app.

After the first half of the year fell 23% behind 2023's pace, domestic grosses could reduce that deficit to 3% in a “remarkable” turnaround.
Movie budgets usually don't include the marketing costs, as that information is almost never revealed to the public. But to find out how much money a film would need to be profitable, a good guess is to multiply the budget by 2.5.
For example, a $100 million film would need to make at least $250 million to break even.
But this isn't a hard-and-fast rule, as no one can really be certain of the marketing budget.
EDIT: Typo.
I'd be interested in a breakdown of the box office for these films.
Ask and ye shall receive.
So, in total, Sony spent $485-509 million on all the films, and they have made a combined $2.1 billion.
The highest grossing SSU film was the first Venom movie, and they seem to have been chasing that high ever since. Their lowest-grossing movie (so far) is Madame Web.
So it appears that over time, the SSU movies have been making less and less money with each release (with the exception of Venom 3).
