I'm sorry, what? The biggest Marvel flop of all time suddenly becomes a mega success

These numbers are almost certain to please every filmmaker in Hollywood a real shower chasing over the back: The new Marvel film Kraven the Hunter barely made it $59 million worldwide at the box office. For comparison: The biggest disappointment to date in the Marvel universe of modern superhero films, Madame Web, at least succeeded $100.5 million to generate. How could it come to this?

Why did Kraven the Hunter flop so unprecedentedly?

As with many Hollywood failures that are brutally torn apart by critics after their theatrical release, the answer here does not lie in the intention of those involved to consciously make a bad film. It is not uncommon for external factors such as: a limited production budgetuncontrollable costs or unfortunate announcements from studio executives that make a film a failure. Nevertheless, the question arises as to whether the new Marvel flick worth it despite everything.

On the rating platform Rotten Tomatoes, Kraven the Hunter with Gladiator star Russell Crowe only received a measly 16% approval from critics. Of course, the question arises as to who would actually want to see this supposed superhero flop. The audience, however, appears to be largely more forgiving: at least 74% of viewers rate the film positivelya quite respectable value. When can you stream the Marvel flop “for free”?

Sony Pictures has not yet officially confirmed when you will be able to stream Kraven the Hunter “for free” as part of a subscription on Netflix. The superhero flop is already available digitally. However, the start in Germany is still a long time coming, a VPN subscription (our colleagues from the PC games hardware show how) offers a solution in this regard.

Where can you stream the film?

Among other things, you can stream the new Marvel flop Kraven the Hunter on Apple TV Plus. And that's where the superhero cucumber actually creates a sensation. Although hardly anyone wanted to see what was probably the last film in Sony's Spider-Man Universe in the cinema, the film conquered people straight away Number 1 in the streaming charts of the iPhone manufacturer. A phenomenon that you too in other superhero crash landings could observe.

The Flash was a huge box office flopbut was extremely popular as a streaming title. And Marvel cucumber Madame Web was also a mega success as a “free” stream. The fact that Kraven the Hunter actually reached number 1 in Apple's streaming charts is extremely surprising, but in retrospect it's almost logical. Have you already seen the Spider-Man spin-off (you can stream the first 8 minutes here)? Feel free to write it to us in the comments.
