    ‘Venom: Let There be Carnage’ Crosses $100 Million Domestically in 5 Days, Tying ‘Shang-Chi’

    Venom: Let There be Carnage is continuing to dominate the box office.

    The sequel has officially crossed $100 million at the domestic box office after just 5 days in theaters. This ties it with Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings for the fastest film to cross $100 million at the domestic box office during the pandemic. As if not impressive enough, the film also beat 2018’s Venom to the milestone, with the first film taking 6 days to do so.

    This year has been a difficult one for most blockbusters. While hitting $100 million would be easy in a pre-pandemic era, most films have struggled to achieve the feat this year. Marvel Studios’ Black Widow hit $100 million after 6 days in release (with the film also on Disney+ at the time), F9 took 8 days to hit $100 million and A Quiet Place Part II did so in 20 days.

    With little to no competition set to hit theaters this weekend, Venom: Let There be Carnage looks likely to rule the box office for a second weekend. The film was directed by Andy Serkis and stars Tom Hardy and Woody Harrelson.

  • ‘Venom: Let There be Carnage’ Earns $11.6 Million from Thursday Previews

    ‘Venom: Let There be Carnage’ Earns $11.6 Million from Thursday Previews

    Venom: Let There be Carnage is off to a an impressive start at the box office. Officially opening today, the film pulled in $11.6 million from Thursday previews. That is enough to best the first film, which took in $10 million during Thursday previews back in 2018. At the time, 2018’s Venom managed to break an October record with its opening numbers.

    Reports originally had the sequel on track for $60 million, however, with the preview numbers, it would seem Let There be Carnage is set to devour its competition.

    With strong word of mouth, Let There be Carnage could very well exceed the $60 million estimate and reach above $70 million in its opening weekend. Not only would that put it in line with the first film’s box office performance, pre-pandemic, it would also give it a shot at besting the openings of F9 ($70 million) and Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings ($75.4 million).

    Venom: Let There be Carnage is in theaters now.

    ‘VENOM’ Sequel’s Andy Serkis Has No Doubt Spider-Man Will Face the Symbiote In a Future Project

    Spider-Man found a comfy home in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but that didn’t stop Sony from slowly building their own. 2018’s Venom was their first foray that will soon get a continuation in Venom: Let There Be Carnage. Of course, as Sony finally gave their franchise a name, it opened up the question of Spider-Man will interact with these characters. Morbius offered a glimpse at a connected universe with the appearance of Michael Keaton‘s Vulture, but there hasn’t been much on that since.

    Well, it seems the director of the Venom sequel, Andy Serkis, is pretty sure that it’s going to happen at some point in the future. He discussed the eventual fight between the long-time comic adversaries in an interview with IGN during the film’s premiere.

    Look, that’s the question on everyone’s lips. They want to know if Venom is gonna meet Spider-Man, but personally, it’s never gonna happen. I’m only joking, of course, it’s gonna happen. But, I think there’s so much. Look, it depends when you want to get there, and also, what the appetite is. If people want more Venom stories, then, to jump straight to Spider-Man, you could be missing out on so many great supervillain characters in between now and then. So, in a way, by rushing to it, you might be closing the door.

    What makes this statement curious is that back in May, the director did highlight they’ve treated Venom as its own world. So, if he believes he’ll face Spider-Man, the bigger question is which one. Tom Holland seems to remain as a mainstay in the MCU moving forward, but a while back Kevin Feige hinted that he can cross between cinematic universes. Perhaps the events of Spider-Man: No Way Home push him out into Sony’s Spider-Man Universe. Whatever happens, it’s not going to
