SONY’s Madame Web is a new low but how does it compare to the Spider-Man franchise?

Madame Web opened this past week to brutal reviews and a brutal box office. It was a low for SONY’s Spider-Man franchise which overall, is more successful than is given credit. But, how does it compare? Which films rank the highest? We crunched the numbers.

  • Numbers have been gathered and presented “raw” and not adjusted
  • There’s also an adjusted amount that uses a US inflation calculator
  • Worldwide totals are then also adjusted using the US inflation calculator giving a rough estimate
  • COVID lockdowns went into place in 2020 greatly impacting the box office and theaters which have yet to recover fully
  • The highest amount is in bold

Overall, the SONY Spider-Man franchise has been a solid one grossing just under $976 million per film worldwide adjusted for inflation, but, beyond the clear Marvel tie-ins the newest era of releases has been all over. For every Venom there’s a Morbius. And even praised films like the award winning animated films took a bit to find its audience.
