Directed by Andy Serkis and starring Tom Hardy as an otherworldly lethal protector, the superhero movie is estimated to collect at least $50 million in its opening weekend. But, given the unpredictable moviegoing landscape, that figure comes with a symbiote-sized asterisk. Some industry experts have indicated that pent-up anticipation could propel inaugural ticket sales for “Venom: Let There Be Carnage” as high as $65 million. After all, theaters have been without a buzzy new release since Disney’s “Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings” opened on the big screen nearly a month ago. That should mean the box office is primed for a hit.

But it looks like sh*t.

um, No Time To Die doesn't count as a buzzy release? Or perhaps it's non-comicbook origin excludes it?

Not released in the US yet.

That surprise's me. It's running in the UK and I just assumed it opened in the USA as well.

TWO Marvels! 😁 I've seen both multiple times, well, Venom,twice, second being today.

It's made 4x its budget so far. If not for the pandemic, this might had done better than the first one.
