Brent Lang Executive Editor of Film and MediaAudiences are showing up in force to send Daniel Craig off in style.MGM’s “No Time to Die,” which marks the actor’s last stint as James Bond, opened to $6.3 million in Thursday previews, the best for a Bond film. The previous record for a 007 opening night was “Spectre’s” $5.3 million in 2015, and before that “Skyfall” made $4.6 million from advance showings.Craig’s fifth and final Bond film is on pace to earn between $60 million to $70 million in its opening weekend, but projections are difficult to make because of the COVID of things, which could depress turnout.

*Warning there are spoilers ahead for “Venom: Let There Be Carnage.”* Last weekend saw Sony Pictures come away with the most substantial domestic box office opening since the pandemic started with “Venom: Let There Be Carnage,” earning a hefty $90.1 million. One of the big draws seemingly was the mid-credit scene that sadly leaked early thanks to fan screenings that didn’t adhere to Tom Hardy’s instructions, not to spoil the film.

Little Simz has shared a remixed version of her 2019 track ‘Venom’ which has been created for the upcoming Venom sequel.The original version of ‘Venom’ was released in 2019 as part of Drake’s soundtrack for the Netflix show Top Boy.Now, ahead of the release of Tom Hardy‘s Venom: Let There Be Carnage next week (October 15), Simz has reworked the track for an appearance in the film, and the new version is now available on streaming services.According to the new film’s director Andy Serkis, it was noted hip-hop fan Hardy’s personal decision to get Simz involved in the soundtrack, and it was he who reached out to make the remix happen.He told Uproxx: “She actually had made a song, unbeknownst to her, called ‘Venom’ that connected very much with

This weekend showed some impressive signs of life returning to the box office and that blockbusters remain the big draws for audiences both domestic and international. According to various box office reports (Gitesh Pandya for one), “Venom: Let There Be Carnage” surpassed “Black Widow” ($80.3 million) and the original “Venom” ($80.2 million) earning an estimated $90.1 million at the domestic box office.

Brent Lang Executive Editor of Film and MediaAudiences are turning out in force to bid farewell to Daniel Craig as James Bond.The actor’s final outing as 007, “No Time To Die,” grossed a muscular $20 million on Thursday, pushing its two-day international haul to $22 million. That figure includes Wednesday preview results and midnight shows.Everyone’s favorite member of her majesty’s secret service was a big hit in the U.K.

Sony’s Venom: Let There Be Carnage rang up a great $11.6M Thursday night from showtimes that began at 4PM yesterday at 3,475 theaters. That’s the second best we’ve seen during the pandemic after Disney/Marvel’s Black Widow which grossed $13.2M on Thursday night from shows that began at 5PM (sans Disney+ Premier for the night).

Tom Hardy-fronted Marvel sequel Venom: Let There Be Carnage have come in, and the results are mixed.The film, which is co-written by Hardy and directed by Andy Serkis, sees Hardy’s antihero and alien symbiote Venom square off against a new villain, Woody Harrelson’s serial killer Cletus Kasady.In its two-star review, The Guardian labelled the film “an admirably light-hearted but utterly disposable sequel.”Variety has called the sequel an “incomprehensible follow-up”, and described its tone as “a cross between an ’80s mismatched-buddy movie (where both characters share the same body) and off-the-wall Jim Carrey comedy The Mask.”IGN hailed the film a success, calling it a “a fun and action-packed sequel that highlights Venom as his own

“There’s an arc to this obviously,” explains Venom: Let There Be Carnage filmmaker Andy Serkis about connecting Sony’s Spider-Man villain to the greater Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Heralded by some advanced irony enthusiasts who normally scorn superhero movies as a batshit gonzo delight, Sony’s original “Venom” film starring Tom Hardy was actually quite bad. Dreadful, really, a near disaster, despite its unfathomable $856 million worldwide gross.

Peter Debruge Chief Film CriticRight out of the gate, “Venom” may have been one of the all-time worst reviewed Marvel movies — the film has an abominable 30% rating on Rotten Tomatoes — but that didn’t stop audiences from flocking to see a bug-eyed Tom Hardy embody the character in the corny 2018 standalone, which racked up an astonishing $864 million-plus worldwide.

Tom Hardy has embodied many eccentric characters over the course of his career so far — from Bane and Venom to Al Capone and «Mad» Max Rockatansky. But would he ever consider taking on Hollywood's most famous man of mystery?With Daniel Craig's last hurrah as James Bond about to hit the screens in there are plenty of rumors about who might next pick up 007's infamous martini glass — with more than a few rumblings of Hardy's name.

Rebecca Rubin Film and Media ReporterFollowing a quiet stretch at the domestic box office, Sony’s comic book sequel “Venom: Let There Be Carnage” looks to make some noise. The film opens in theaters on Friday after five delays, something of a pandemic-record.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.

While film fans probably know Andy Serkis best for his motion-capture acting work in the “Lord of the Rings” and “Planet of the Apes” franchises, right now he’s out there promoting his filmmaking career as the director of the new film, “Venom: Let There Be Carnage.” And though he probably has some acting roles in the future, the question now is whether or not he’d be willing to come back to do another ‘Venom’ film if this current sequel is the runaway hit that people expect it to be?

The Musical,” a stage adaptation of the poplar jukebox movie musical, dominated an unorthodox and highly emotional 74th Annual Tony Awards on Sunday, winning nine prizes by the half-way mark. “The Inheritance,” a sprawling epic about the AIDS crisis, won several major honors, including prizes for lead actor, supporting actress and direction, while “A Soldier’s Play,” a murder mystery that unspools during segregation, was named the best revival of a play.
