A24’s ‘Heretic’ Aims for $10 Million in Box Office Debut, ‘Venom 3’ Likely to Top Charts Again


"Venom: The Last Dance" may threepeat at the domestic box office despite the presence of two new nationwide releases.

So, moviegoing isn’t expected to pick up in earnest until Amazon’s Christmas comedy “Red One,” with Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson playing Santa’s head of security, opens on Nov. 15, followed by Paramount’s “Gladiator II” and Universal’s “Wicked” on Nov. 22, and Disney’s “Moana 2” on Nov. 27. “Heretic,” starring Hugh Grant, and co-directed by Scott Beck and Bryan Woods, follows two young Mormon missionaries (Sophie Thatcher and Chloe East) who make the grave mistake of knocking on the door of a reclusive Englishman. Reviews have been overwhelmingly positive, with Variety’s Peter Debruge calling the R-rated film an “entertaining ride” and praising Grant for playing chillingly against type as a diabolical pedagogue.
