Perhaps politicians were also fearful of a Venom sweep.

It has been four years since the last Presidential election in the US and that means it's time for another one. Joe vs. Donald Round 2: Electric Boogaloo is shaping up to be the biggest election based on which politician people hate the least by the looks of things, but as a side effect it is also causing some movies to change their release dates.

With all the American eyes on the election, Variety reports that Venom 3 AKA Venom: The Last Dance changed its release date in order to avoid being overshadowed by the US election. There won't even be a major release in the first week of November, with Gladiator 2 being the next theatrical milestone on the 22nd of November.

It appears that even though some Americans might want a break from all the politics, the movies simply don't want to risk putting out a box-office stinker at a time when most eyes in the US are going to be on one thing.
