Superhero moves weren’t able to escape 2025 without two massive duds.
Two Marvel and DC films have officially been confirmed as some of the biggestbox officebombs of 2024.
Despite wide releases and major studio backing, both titles underperformed significantly in theaters.
Sony’sKraven the Hunterand Warner Bros.‘Joker: Folie a Deuxare confirmed as 2024’s biggest comic book movie flops.
Their box office underperformance reflects shifting audience tastes, superhero fatigue, and risky studio spending.
Joker: Folie a Deuxstands out as one of the harshest sequel drops in recent box office history.
Even with these tempered forecasts, the film still underperformed.
To make matters worse, production costs escalated to $110 million after reshoots post-actors’ strike in 2023.
Joker 2 & Kraven: Outliers or Trends?
When Marvel and DC release quality content, audiences still show up in droves.
So far in 2025, the picture is mixed.
On the DC side,Joker 2arguably never needed to be made in the first place.
Looking ahead, the stakes are far higher for DC’sSupermanreboot under James Gunn.
With the studio’s future hinging on this film’s success, a flop would signal real trouble.
A misfire likeKravenorJoker 2can be absorbed, butSupermanis a cornerstone.
