The Venom movies have been the lone bright spot for Sony’s “Oops, we forgot to include Spider-Man in our Spider-Man” cinematic universe. The first installment opened with $80.3 million in 2018 on its way to a $856.1 million worldwide haul. Venom: Let There Be Carnage opened with $90 million for an eventual $501.5 million worldwide gross.
While Venom: The Last Dance didn’t sink to the lows of Morbius ($39 million opening weekend) and Madame Web ($15.3 million opening weekend), the final film in the Venom trilogy lagged way behind its two predecessors with a $51 million first weekend.
If this is the trajectory for the Venom movies, Sony should be worried about Kraven the Hunter’s box office chances in December.
Weekend gross: $9.4M
Total domestic gross: $40.7M
Last weekend: 1st
Percent drop: 59
