lol
Sorry, I don't agree. I believe Black Panther and Infinity War both raised the bar in the genre in their own ways.
We'll have to agree to disagree, despite your weirdly brash way of telling me your opinion.

Glad to see venom is doing alright
It was a really enjoyable movie to watch
deserves more success than most of the DCEU output

It is? I thought justice league made close to a 100m opening and 800m overall
I hope theres a sequel
I really liked the banter between venom and eddie
Lol they'll be fine
Common sense is the one taking the L when people believe this crap lmao
We have see time and time again that people's taste does it line up wit the critics. It does not mean that common sense lost but I means the critics a lot o times are out of touch.
Close but not quite, Justice League wishes it hit those numbers.
$94 million opening, $229 million domestic, $658 million worldwide.
Oh wow that seems not that great for justice league
any hope venom can reach these numbers?
I'm actually alright with Venom doing well.
I just hope Sony keeps working with Marvel and lets Tom Holland's Spider-Man in the MCU.
I also still think any attempts they make at a Spider-Universe that doesn't involve webhead or goo-boy will fail unless they make the next Guardians of the Galaxy level movie.

$80m is lower than I expected but still pretty good.
In conclusion, launch a bad superhero in September/October and people will still flock to it, a.k.a. the Suicide Squad effect.

Justice League had triple the amount of budget of Venom.
Yeah Justice League made the least amount of the whole franchise (even lower than Man of Steel) and cost twice as much so you can see why it's gotten the legacy that it has.
Venom's pretty unlikely, probably going to land somewhere in the $500-600 million range unless it gets insane James Cameron legs and has 0% drops for the next 2 months.
But it also cost a relatively cheap amount so it'll still put some very good money in Sony's pocket.
My common sense comment was regarding people dismissing crtiics altogether (must be a conspiracy !) and saying the RT user score is reliable at all.
Certainly a good result for Sony. They're gonna be fast-tracking that sequel and probably renewing their agreement with Marvel. Good news for everyone, I suppose. Spidey gets that MCU quality control in his movies and all of Sony's whatthefuckery that general audiences love contained in their own Marvel universe.
Every week I continue to be amazed by The Predator too. It's actually performing not bad for the series, slightly better than the last movie, but that budget is sinking it like a rock. $80m for a Predator movie LOL. Reminds me of Universal spending $150m on a Wolfman movie years back. It went on to gross $140m, which makes it one of the highest grossing werewolf movies of all time, but still a colossal bomb. Makes Dracula Untold and The Mummy look like rousing successes.

All eyes are on how the next Spiderman film does. If it somehow does worse than homecoming you can be sure some hair brained ideas will start to be kicked around.
Isn't this based on ultimate venom? Has Maximum Carnage happened there as well?
I'm assuming that means you disagree.
Sorry but so far I've only liked him in peaky blinders before this movie.
Her scenes were not convincing even for a popcorn movie. Her best moment was the restaurant scene.
Yep fell for the hype on that one. My friend couldn't stop talking about it, convinced me to see it. Guess I'm not a movie buff but I did not enjoy Mad Max. Will leave it there because I know it's taboo to not like it.
Just happy Venom did well. Had it's issues but was well paced and entertaining.

It's kind of ridiculous really.
Avatar 2 will make this forum melt, if it's still around when that movie comes out.
It's absurd it's like the console fanatism you see on the other side but applied to movies (comic book movies). I never knew it was some great sin that a film critics didn't like did well....
Nobody with any sense thought this.
He's always been an extremely popular character, whether you agree with the reasons why or not.
Welp, Venom's doing business even if it's a shitty film. That speaks volumes about the movies we deserve. Nice to see Star is Born doing great tho.
Cooper has, actually. He co-wrote the songs as far as I know.
Tickets better be red too
Is there a way to play this game right now. My Nostalgia meter is going insane at the moment
Only trough emulators, doesn't seem like it's been re-released.
They have options, Miles would be the best I would think but they have SpiderGwen, Silk, Ben Reilly. Any of those would and could work. As long as they join sides at the end against Carnage or whoever which I am sure will happen.
I think Sony will probably renegotiate the deal with marvel in a way where they get to use a different version of Spider-Man in their movies like miles, Gwen, noir etc... and marvel keep Peter Parker Spider-man. Them trying to stick spiderverse at the end of venom probably is setting up the seeds for this to happen and getting audience understand the whole multiple universe Spider characters.
