Venom: The Last Dance debuts with strong opening weekend

The third instalment into the action franchise has defied expectations.
Ben Lyons Senior Editor 28 October 2024

Many analysts wrote it off and suggested that we shouldn't expect much in the ticket revenue sense for Venom: The Last Dance's opening weekend, but the film has defied those expectations and arrived to a rather strong reception.

With a budget rumoured to be around $110-120 million, the Tom Hardy-led film has already raked in $180 million at the global box office (thanks, Box Office Mojo), making it the year's 21st biggest film already and seeing it on a crash course to breaking even when expected marketing and advertising fees are tacked on too.

If you didn't flock to cinemas over the weekend and have been contemplating if Venom: The Last Dance is the film for you, we saw the movie and have shared our thoughts in a review.
