Part 3/8:
Another significant flop was the remake of The Crow, starring Bill Skarsgård. Attempting to capture the essence of the cult classic, the film opted for a stylized approach that alienated many viewers. With a budget of $50 million, it ultimately failed to recoup its costs and garnered negative reviews, with the original film’s director lamenting the remake as merely a cash grab.

Madame Web also landed on the flop list, underscoring Sony's ongoing struggles with its superhero universe. Despite hopes tied to its ties with the Spider-Man franchise, the film was panned for its confusing plot and lackluster execution. Struggling to earn back its $100 million budget, this release raised concerns for Sony's overall strategy moving forward.
