‘Venom 3’ Slinks to $51 Million, Lowest Opening Weekend of Comic Book Trilogy


"Venom: The Last Dance" is the No. 1 film at the box office, but it opened far behind expectations.

Kelly Marcel, who wrote the first two films, directed the PG-13 threequel, which stars Hardy as investigative journalist Eddie Brock and his unwitting sidekick and parasite Venom, both of whom are on the run from their worlds. Most major studios didn’t want to release a movie around the election, so the only titles on the calendar in the coming weeks are Sony’s “Here,” a poorly reviewed drama directed by Robert Zemeckis and starring digitally de-aged versions of Tom Hanks and Robin Wright (Nov. 1), and Amazon’s Christmas comedy “Red One,” with Dwyane “The Rock” Johnson playing Santa’s head of security (Nov. 15). Neon nabbed rights to the film at Cannes and will continue to widen the footprint for “Anora,” a comic look at an exotic dancer and sex worker who marries the son of a Russian oligarch, through the fall and into awards season.
