Remember when he was telling his girlfriend that there was a murder conspiracy and she was like "Ugh not this again" even though he found out about the conspiracy via an e-mail on HER COMPUTER?
This movie is trash.
This movie is trash.
Haha maybe, maybe it does....
Both
adrenaline momentumVENOMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
(I got that)....someone finish the line for me plz
They don't give a shit about Star Wars and yet this does it for em. Ok.
Star Wars doesn't have the built int nostalgia for older generations and their kids didn't grow up on it like the Western world.
Never, Venom is our overlord now.
Everyone I know who has seen it has loved it.People thought the movie would be trash, which it is. Nobody said it wouldn't make a bajillion dollars.
Jesus Christ we'll get a decade of bland, increasingly terrible producer-led Sony-Spider-Man-Movies. I'm already tired.
If there is one thing I've learned it's that the quality of a movie has nothing to do with its success WW.Era was also completely down on Jurassic World 2 and the movie made more than 1.3 Billion WW.
Went to an 8 o'clock showing at the local theater, and was surprised at how full it was. I think it was the most full I'd ever seen it on a Friday night since I'd started going to that theater.
Michael Bay is living proof of that.If there is one thing I've learned it's that the quality of a movie has nothing to do with its success WW.
DC studio will probably see this and decide to quickly change Aquaman to be darker and more gritty.I expected it to do well but goddamn. A Venom film beating out Justice League...what a world.

I was cool with a Venom movie without Spider-Man and I think it being such a smash hit is the least surprising thing ever. Venom is REALLY cool, way better than boring old Spider-Man!It's not a bad question honestly. A Venom movie without Spider-Man still sounds dumb. I don't think anyone can deny that it's a surprise it's performing so well.
I mean, a solo Venom movie is outperforming the Justice League. There are no rules anymore.
Chinese audiences and I have that in common :pThey don't give a shit about Star Wars and yet this does it for em. Ok.
This was always the case though. How many action blockbusters have you seen with critic awards etc? It's only more recently the more people even took notice of critic scores.If there is one thing I've learned it's that the quality of a movie has nothing to do with its success WW.
It's PG-13. There's no blood and gore outside of a character getting violently stabbed.
Spider-Man Peter series
Spider-Gwen series
Miles series
Venom series
Silver Sable& Black Cat series (after the game portrayal) ala Bourne/ Die hard
...
Mash it all up in an "event" movie with high profile vilain like Norman Osborn/ Sinister Six
...
$$ Profit

It's interesting seeing that middle pocket which all relatively bombed in the USTop 10 opening days of all time in China by local currency:
Code:1) Fate of the Furious - 417.1M 2) Avengers: Infinite War - 387M 3) Furous 7 - 346.4M 4) Transformers 5 - 289.6M 5) Warcraft - 251M 6) Venom - 221M 7) Resident Evil 6 - 213.3M 8) Jurassic World 2 -202.5M 9) SW7 -196.2M 10) Avengers AOU - 185.9M
Age of Ultron opened on a Wednesday I think.
You also have to factor in the cultural aspect of things. You can't dismiss the fact that the original Star Wars really appealed to the West and also Caucasians, its like their wild west in space. People for example in India and China can't really relate to those characters when they are watching their own movie industry flourish with people like them in roles. I remember when i was growing up that was one reason i couldn't really relate to the film.
Luckily the SW movies have gotten more diverse appealing to lots of other territories.
-> Guys have to also remember the huge marketing push Venom made in so many products. I was seeing it in random places i would have never expected it, even in big sports matches like boxing or football
Michael Bay does have his own brand, though, and a valuable one at that.
It was a fun popcorn flick, what's with people saying it's bad it did well. We're not talking suicide squad here
Yes, in some ways sheer mediocrity is even worse because there's nothing to talk about.Suicide Squad is one of the worst Blockbusters ever made. You don't have to be Suicide Squad to be considered bad. There's a whole world of possibilities between those 2.
