Let's be gentle on Jamie Lee though since she asked so nicely. She's already hurting after the Borderlands debacle.

Japan studios often double up as Video Game studios and the gaming entertainment they have good profit.
Sony - Spider-Man No Way Home ...one of the few movies that made money with this Covid pandemic era stuff happening
Godzillia minus one was one of their most profitable movies
the new Venom is doing far better than expected
they seem to advertise well overseas, no tranny DEI SJW stuff in their ads just fun entertainment by a Japan studio
Kraven is getting feedback as extreme 'gore' all it needs is people complaining in an interesting way and controversy and shock can sell and generate its own publicity.
They own Bond that 007 brand, Angry Birds, Hotel Transylvania, 'The Da Vinci Code'.
'It Ends With Us' another hit.
Have they been putting 'Kraven' as a character into their playstation video games?Quote:

a Japanese cartoon, anime for cinema
it won't make much but LOTR is almost $2 Billion Domestic and $6 Billion overseas, it sits just short of those two numbers...it would not take much to push it over one of these lines adding to the overall value of the brand
Oh... That's a LOTR cartoon, huh? Yeah. That wont' make much.
You might be on to something there, but I'm still firm on Kraven until proven otherwise. I haven't been a comic book guy for decades, but I don't even have any clue who Kraven is. I'd guess that 95% of the people in America don't know who the hell Kraven is.
People are just burnt out on comic book movies anyhow, and none of these no-name characters have done well at all, particularly for Sony. Madame Web was a hilarious flop that even Sony didn't feel was worth doing reshoots, so they just did a ton of bad dubbing and people saying stuff when their mouths are moving. Fuck Sony for that. Everyone knows that the studios only care about the bottom line at the end of the day, but they didn't even try on that one.
Morbious was at least a character I knew. That didn't go well. Wasn't there another non-Spider-Man Spider-Man movie in between the two of them too?
I give this somewhere around Shazam II and Blue Beetle numbers from last year. Maybe in the area of $120 to $150 Million worldwide.

Joker 2 Co-Star Unloads On Joaquin Phoenix Sequel, And Has A Good Theory On Why It Flopped
https://www.cinemablend.com/movies/joker-2-star-tim-dillon-unloads-on-
joaquin-phoenix-sequel-lady-gaga-todd-phillips-dc
"It’s the worst film that has ever been made. It’s actually not ‘so bad.’ It’s the worst film ever made. I think what happened, after the first Joker, there was a lot of talk like, ‘Oh, this was loved by incels. This was loved by the wrong kinds of people. This sent the wrong kind of message. Male rage! Nihilism!’ All these think pieces. And then I think, ‘What if we went the other way,’ and now they have Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga tap dancing, to a point where it’s insane."
"It has no plot. We would sit there, me and these other guys were all dressed in these security outfits because we’re working at the Arkham Asylum, and I would turn to one of them, and we’d hear this crap, and I’d go, ‘What the fuck is this?’ And they’d go, ‘This is going to bomb, man.’ I go, ‘This is the worst thing I’ve ever…’ We were talking about it at lunch, and we’d go, ‘What is the plot? Is there a plot? I don’t know, I think he falls in love with her in the prison?’"
Joker 2 kept audiences guessing about its true intent until the very last shot. And as I wrote, I disliked what the finale said about Arthur Fleck’s journey, mainly because I thought that it negated the impact of the first movie. Why would anyone go back and rewatch two movies about a guy who doesn’t eventually become the Joker? It’s almost like Todd Phillips was playing a joke on his audience. Which is why Tim Dillon ultimately surmisses:
"It’s not even hate watchable. That’s how terrible it is."
(Hollywood knew from the script what they were financing [Joker dies before meeting Batman] but still greenlighted it. And as it was being made, Hollywood could see what was made, but didn't pull the plug early. And once finished, Hollywood could have called it a loss, and shelved it, but released it to theaters, instead)
Production Budget: $190,000,000 (worldwide box office is 1.1 times production budget)

Yeah... I just found out [SPOILER ALERT] that he just dies pathetically at the end after basically being beat up by everybody else in the movie, whether physically and/or emotionally and/or mentally.
Maybe one day I'll watch it for a laugh. As a troll, it's pretty funny, considering how much money people lost on it. Phoenix and Phillips banked $20 Million. GaGa got her $12 Million. A terrible movie was made and some rich people lost some money. And an IP that might have been successful is now dead too.
I think Phillips knows that he'll never be trusted again, but I'm pretty sure he was well aware of that going into this.

Megalopolis is basically: what if New York was a sci-fi techno-Rome and a genius with too much power was trying to shape the dying empire.
Movie quote at the beginning:
"Our American Republic is not all that different from Old Rome.
Can We preserve our past and all its wondrous heritage?
Or will We too fall victim, like Old Rome, to the insatiable appetite for power of a few men?"
