Sony Moves ‘Madame Web’ To Fall 2023, Dates Marvel Universe Title For Summer 2024

Sony is pushing their Spider-Man family title Madame Web from July 7 to Oct. 6, 2023. That first weekend of October has been a gold mine for the Culver lot where they own the month's second and third biggest openings with Venom: Let There Be Carnage ($90M) and Venom ($80.2M).

S.J. Clarkson directs off Matt Sazama and Burk Sharpless's script about a clairvoyant whose psychic abilities allow her to see within the spider world itself.  Dakota Johnson, Sydney Sweeney, Emma Roberts, Celeste O'Connor, Isabela Merced, Tahir Rahim, Mike Epps and Adam Scott star in the Marvel Comics movie. Warner Bros. already has an untitled event movie on the Oct. 6 date next year.

In addition Sony is moving a Marvel Universe title from Oct. 6, 2023 to June 7, 2024. Um, the next Spider-Man, anyone? The title is the only one on that weekend to date.

New on the calendar for Sony is the Russell Crowe exorcism movie from Screen Gems, The Pope's Exorcist, going on April 7, 2023, Easter weekend. Crowe plays real-life figure Father Gabriele Amorth, a priest who acted as chief exorcist of the Vatican and who performed more than 100,000 exorcisms in his lifetime. Julius Avery directs. The holiday frame also has Illumination Entertianment/Universal's The Super Mario Bros. movie, an untitled Warner Bros movie and United Artists Releasing's On a Wing and a Prayer.
