Box Office: ‘Venom: The Last Dance’ Laps Up $22 Million Opening Day — Down From Previous Entries


Sony's Marvel spinoff 'Venom: The Last Dance' is projecting the lowest opening weekend of the franchise.

The current expectation is that the parasite buddy-comedy will slightly outperform the global opening of “Let There Be Carnage.” Both prior “Venom” films were killers overseas, with the original nabbing a massive $642 million outside of North America. While “Venom” star Tom Hardyhas floated the prospect of more “symbiote stories to tell,” it’s entirely plausible that “The Last Dance” could end up being the Marvel antihero’s last outing for some time, especially if box office returns fall short of previous entries. Kelly Marcel, who wrote both previous “Venom” entries, tapped in to direct this threequel, which sees Hardy return as the haggard journalist Eddie Brock, and also reprising the voice role of the eponymous, growling gooey alien.
