Just weeks afterSony’sMadame Webhit Netflix, it has flown up the streamer’s charts, becoming very popular with viewers, despite its negative reception upon release.

After landing on May 15, Madame Web has absolutely dominated the streamer’s charts sitting at number 1 in several countries including the US, according toFlix Patrol. The flick is yet to drop in the UK, but considering howSonymovies in the past have landed on Netflix UK around the time they expire in the US, it looks like Madame Web likely won’t be available until late 2025.

The movie follows New York City paramedicCassandra Webb(Dakota Johnson) who starts to experience clairvoyant powers that connect her with three young women (Sydney Sweeney, Celeste O’Connor, and Isabela Merced). With her newfound ability, she must revisit her past and save her new Spidey sisters from mysterious adversaryEzekiel Sims(Tahar Rahim) who wants them dead.

Since hitting the streamer, it seems as though fans just cannot get enough of the Sony Spider-Man Universe movie. “Madame Web is still #1 on Netflix. To all the haters: BURN,“tweeted one fan, and anotheradded, “Madame Web come back!”

But the sudden burst of interest may not be entirely sincere, “Screenwriting at its finest in Madame Web, but still not as bad as Morbius. Happy Madame Web on Netflix day!“saidone fan sarcastically, whilst others provided some hilarious memes once again, see below.

Madame Web facednegative first reactionsupon release with critics calling it even worse than Sony’s previous flop Morbius, even filmmakerMike Flannagan got on the hate trainby posting a highly sarcastic review onLetterboxd, andHideo Kojima joined inbytweeting: “Saw Madame Web at the theater,”. Yep, that’s really the whole review.

In fact, its debut was so below average that Madame Web, which still sits at a lackluster 11% onRotten Tomatoes,marked the first time a Marvel movie hasn’t opened at number 1at the box office since 2015.
