‘Venom: The Last Dance’ Foxtrots To $8M In Thursday Previews – Box Office
deadline.comEXCLUSIVE: Currently we hear that Sony/Marvel’s Venom: The Last Dance is eyeing around $8M in previews tonight, maybe more by the morning.
Showtimes began at 2PM in U.S. Canada at 3,500 locations. At that figure, there’s a path to a $65M opening, which we mentioned would rep the lowest start for the trilogy stateside after owning the third (2021’s Venom: Let There Be Carnage at $90M) and fourth best (2018’s Venom) openings for October.
Yes, we expect more from superhero threequels, but this is Venom and the franchise always reaped significantly more abroad (anywhere from 60% to 75%) than domestic.
Hence, the global number means more to the studio to make good on that $120M production cost before marketing spend. Comps: 2022’s Black Adam saw $7.6M in previews before making $26.6M on its Friday and $67M for the weekend.
