‘Venom 3’ Slithers Towards $52 Million Box Office Opening

Sony’s $120 million Marvel sequel will need overseas help to make a sizable theatrical profit

Sony/Columbia’s “Venom: The Last Dance” isn’t shaping up to be a “Joker: Folie a Deux”-esque disaster, but it is also falling well short of its predecessors in the U.S. with an estimated $52 million domestic opening weekend from 4,131 locations after a $22 million opening day.

That is short of the $65 million pre-release projections for the Marvel antihero film and well short of the $80 million opening weekend of the first “Venom” in 2018.

On the flipside, overseas grosses are looking very good with $72.8 million so far through Friday and an estimated $128 million through Sunday, which would give the film a $180 million global launch.
