I'm expecting suicide squad level numbers on the high end but even that I feel is a substantial overestimation.
I don't think so.
But if it does, cue the "Curb your MCU SpiderMan" theme.
Saw Venom last night and I completely understand the positive word of mouth it's getting. It's a damn fun movie.

No. Homecoming was already $100M ahead by this point with fewer overseas territories launching in that first international weekend.
Not a bold prediction. It probably will considering when it's opening and what it's opening against. But it's got the holidays working for it in the long run.
Ignoring that Jumanji 2 opened after Star Wars TLJ, on the same date, it had a $35M or so OW and went on to do over $400M domestic.
Spider-Verse isn't bombing lol. I look forward to adding Miles to the pic of heroes laughing at Ben Affleck. Actually, where's the updated version? With Venom?
No. Lmao tf

Aquaman will flop beautifully but Spider-Verse will be fine.
Dudes getting desperate for a bomb after their predictions for Venom fell through.
There's a distinct chance Aquaman comes out not looking all that great. Maybe it'll earn a mild, if not small profit when all said and done. I say this knowing the production budget is around $160m, but I'm not confident it's breaking $500m worldwide.
Lol I know, who would've thought the gay community would be divided between Venom and Lady Gaga at the B.O. this fall.
I had Venom pegged for 70-80m. It's way too early, but I think we'll see Spider-verse open in the 40-60 range. It should do quite well for itself given its likely budget, and I bet a sequel (with Tom Hardy voicing Venom) is a virtual lock.
They might even go nuts and have a live action miles morales pop up in another Sony verse film (Venom 2? Kraven? Silk?) as a tease leading into Spider-verse 2.
The director is solid, but it's repping one of the worst parts of the DCEU. The most quintessentially DCEU character really. I mean does anyone really care about grung Aquaman? The 'big' trailer that we just got looks... like a worse retread of Black Panther mixed with some Man of Steel without interesting characters.

and I can't wait for Men In Black Chris Hemsworth to be told that he has to track down a rogue alien symbiote operating out of San Fransisco

Venom success is very amusing considering like a few years Sony themselves barely wanted to make this movie, according to the leaked emails. iirc Sinister Six was def more of a priority and meanwhile this project was just sorta there in the background and some of the execs admitted "do we really need to make this?" and even talked mad shit about how annoying Avi Arad was getting cause he was always begging about when they gonna make it
BUT GUESS WHO HAD THE RIGHT INTUITION ALL ALONG THE KIDS LOVE VENOM BRO

Damn shame about El Royale. Movie is a good time and the performances are fantastic. It's also a shame that First Man didn't do better as I thought that was a seller movie too.
I did like Venom though and am happy with it's surprisingly strong hold. Not a great movie by any stretch but it was a fun time and was also pretty funny.

Maximum Carnage will be coming for that crown though!
Kids love Carnage.
Pretty sharp Monday drop for Venom compared to last week though, it was coming off a holiday.
Given the way that Amy Pascal is talking you might damn well expect that Venom 2 will be Venom and Spider-Man: Maximum Carnage.

Noooooo we don't really need Spider-Man in this Venom universe (omg I can't believe I'm actually saying that), I would prefer the movie be 100% about this Venom and Carnage.
Pascal? Arad has ALWAYS been the main producer on Venom, not her. Her name is on it, but outside of the little bit she said during the promotion of Homecoming, I haven't seen or heard her say anything about this movie.
I was being glib with the 'maximum carnage' comment but:
I imagine that her comments (which Feige later agreed to) are indicative of how Sony as a whole sees it. To them their stuff is in the same reality as the rest of the MCU with Holland's Spider-Man being the bridge; for Marvel the only thing that counts is Holland.
All I can say is that the renegotiation is going to end up being very interesting given that the current plans for the Kraven film are that Spider-Man will be in it.
Edit: I'd think that Spider-Man appearing might be written as such because that's a part of Sony's ambitions when it comes to a new agreement, that they can have Tom Holland appear in their stuff With some restrictions.
I would be interested if they were basically making a Spider-Man movie with Kaven as the antagonist, but from his perspective.

Saw Venom on Sunday and gave it some thought.
Movie felt really undeveloped which is weird since Sony has been trying to make this for over a decade. The characters are all very underwritten and one note. None of the humor landed with me. Scenes lacked a sense of cohesive flow.
Everyone except poor Tom Hardy just seemed to be sleep walking through the movie. It should be a crime to cast someone with Michelle Williams talent and give her nothing to do.
While it isn't inept like Daredevil and Catwoman, its just very bland. I'll probably forget I saw this in a few weeks. Its just such a nothing movie.

I don't care what anyone says, Freddy vs Jason was a lot of dumb fun.
Would be absolutely down for another vs film.
