Kraven the Hunter Opens to Disappointing $11 Million

This weekend, Sony's 'Kraven the Hunter' bombed at the box office, earning only $11 million, marking one of the worst openings for a Marvel-adjacent film. Meanwhile, Disney's 'Moana 2' topped the charts with $26.6 million, while Universal's 'Wicked' followed closely with $22.5 million. 'The Lord of the Rings: The War of Rohirrim' also struggled, bringing in just $4.6 million, as it aimed to retain rights to Tolkien's work. The poor reception of 'Kraven' is attributed to low audience interest and a dismal C CinemaScore, signaling a potential end to its box office run. Analysts predict that if 'Kraven' manages to surpass $40 million domestically, it would be considered lucky. Overall, the weekend box office saw better figures than the same time last year, with multiple films performing above $5 million.
