In a spectacular showcase of female-led superhero prowess, “Madame Web” has taken the Philippine box office by storm, claiming the title of the number one movie with an unprecedented first-day gross of PHP 10.4 million. This landmark achievement marks the most significant opening day for any film in 2024, setting a new standard for cinematic success in the country.
Released on Valentine’s Day across 326 screens nationwide, “Madame Web” not only captivated audiences with its groundbreaking narrative but also made history as the first movie in Sony’s Spider-Man Universe to spotlight a female superhero lead. The film’s star, Dakota Johnson, embodies Cassandra Web/Madame Web, bringing to life a character that is as real as she is formidable.
“There was an opportunity with this movie to reinvent a Marvel world where, first of all, it’s led by women, and it’s made by women,” Johnson remarked, highlighting the film’s innovative approach to storytelling. “And because of that, the characters are real, and they are messy, and they are complicated, and they are extremely powerful.” This sentiment is echoed by critics and fans alike, with Comicbook.com lauding the film as a “modern-day throwback” to superhero adaptations, and Roger Ebert’s Christy Lemire praising its “blissfully breezy” nature.
The creative team, led by director SJ Clarkson, has been widely recognized for their exceptional work in creating a visually stunning experience that Fox TV Houston describes as a “a visually stunning thrill ride” and “a thriller that must be seen on the biggest screen possible!.” “Madame Web” delves into a world of fantasy noir, focusing on psychics and sisterhood, with SlashFilm proclaiming, “The future is Spider-Female, and Madame Web knows it.”
Featuring a stellar cast that includes Sydney Sweeney, Isabela Merced, Celeste O’Connor, and Tahar Rahim, “Madame Web” offers a unique perspective on the superhero genre. The film tells the origin story of one of Marvel’s most mysterious heroines, Cassandra Webb, a paramedic with the power to see and alter the future, navigating a path fraught with danger and discovery.
Now showing exclusively in cinemas, “Madame Web” is distributed in the Philippines by Columbia Pictures, the local office of Sony Pictures Releasing International. Fans and newcomers alike are invited to immerse themselves in this thrilling adventure, connecting with the film using the hashtag #MadameWeb.

About “Madame Web”
“Madame Web” stands out as a suspense-driven thriller centered around Cassandra Webb, a Manhattan paramedic who gains the ability to foresee the future. Faced with revelations about her past, she connects with three young women destined for greatness, navigating a present filled with peril. Directed by SJ Clarkson and starring Dakota Johnson, the film redefines the superhero genre, offering a fresh and empowering narrative.
Wyatt Russell, celebrated for his roles in “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier” and “Monarch: Legacy of Monsters,” brings a unique perspective to his latest role in the supernatural thriller “Night Swim.” Directed by Bryce McGuire, this film not only captivates with its spine-tingling premise but also showcases Russell’s personal connection to his character, Ray Waller, a former baseball pro grappling with a life-altering illness.
Russell’s journey as a professional athlete, transitioning into acting after a sports career cut short by injuries, echoes the narrative of Ray Waller. “There are aspects of this character that obviously I’ve felt before, or seen in people I know, where you’re sort of losing your ability and sense of identity to injury,” says Russell, who played hockey on the amateur and professional levels for six years, until injuries forced him to quit. “I know the feeling of wanting to do anything, even if it’s detrimental to yourself or your family, to keep playing; it’s a hard drug to let go of. There was that element of it that I know Bryce wanted, and I was able to do that because I had lived aspects of that life.”
In Night Swim, based on director McGuire’s acclaimed 2014 short film of the same name, Ray Waller (Russell) is a former major league baseball player forced into early retirement by a degenerative illness. Secretly hoping, against the odds, to return to pro ball, Ray persuades his wife, Eve (Kerry Condon), that their new home’s shimmering backyard swimming pool will be fun for the kids (Amélie Hoeferle and Gavin Warren) and provide physical therapy for him. But a dark secret in the home’s past will unleash a malevolent force that will drag the family under, into the depths of inescapable terror.
Besides his personal connection to his character, Russell says he was drawn to Night Swim because of the thematically rich story that McGuire had built from its fiendishly simple swimming-pool premise.
“I just love everything that the swimming pool represented – how it gives life and takes it away; how it holds both good and evil – and how it made for a refreshingly different approach to a genre story,” Russell says, adding he also appreciated the trajectory of Ray’s increasingly dark arc and how the true evil that threatens Ray and his family isn’t supernatural but his own flaws. “I liked how his selfishness and his misguided strategies for dealing with everything that comes with M.S. [multiple sclerosis] ends up being the forces that drive him. He’s a nice guy with a nice, normal family dealing with very real human dilemmas, but there’s this little kernel of narcissism that leaves him vulnerable to corruption that can take over his soul. It was just a fun part to play.”
Director Bryce McGuire praises Russell’s fearless approach to the role. “From our first conversation, I saw how deeply he understood the psychology of an athlete and an athlete’s struggle to move on from the sport they’ve dedicated so much of their life to,” he says of Russell. “Wyatt was a joy to work with for me because he was completely fearless. Without saying too much, he has to go to some extreme places in the movie and he was never self-conscious. He understands how to connect to an audience and he’ll try five different versions of something to give you options. That’s a dream for a director. He was game for anything, very selfless and always thinking of the movie.”
Prepare for a cinematic plunge into the eerie and suspenseful world of “Night Swim,” distributed by Universal Pictures International. The film opens in cinemas on February 21, offering audiences a gripping tale of psychological and supernatural terror.
Embrace the thrill and suspense as “Night Swim” unfolds a tale of a family caught in a terrifying web of supernatural forces and personal demons. This film promises to be an unforgettable addition to the thriller genre.
