Sony's future right now:Sony cancelling E3 appearance to make way for their own con, Venomcon.
Welp. China is being China, and $300M for Venom there is now on the table. All hail the potential third highest grossing solo hero worldwide I guess.
Venom also stayed ahead of Fantastic Beasts 2 on Friday, which is getting poor user scores in China.
Edit: Maoyan's projected Saturday for Venom would put the weekend a bit over Gavin's $50M high end. We shall see tomorrow.
I remember when you said Venom getting close to homecoming didn't seem likely, my how this title overperformed in China.
I'm not sure how. Carnage is an arguably cheesier character and I can't see how they wouldn't lean heavily into that.I guess it's cool for the team behind venom, but I really hope that the sequel will be better. I don't want it to become over the top bullshit like the fast franchise or transformers.
Venom really about to outgross every single Spider-Man movie
Meanwhile, a bunch of showings in my area are fucking DEAD for FB2
This five film plan might need to be reworked if this thing really pulls a Justice League
Sony cancelling E3 appearance to make way for their own con, Venomcon.
Scratch Marvel's Spider-man 2 next game up is Marvel's Venom.
ftfyThat could make a pretty cool trilogy actually.
Marvel's Spider-Man
Spider-Man vs. Venom: Dawn of Carnage
It is not performing like any of the previous superhero films there. Both in terms of size and legs. Superhero runs are typically very predictable in China. But I guess Venom is their new GOAT.
If Venom passes Spider-Man 3, it would be the highest grossing superhero film outside of the MCU and Dark Knight duo. Ahead of everything else from Sony, Fox, and the DCEU. Also ahead of 14 of the 20 MCU films.
Avi Arad vindicated.
BronsonLee said:Venom will kill everything and I will bet absolutely nothing on it because I am correct
Cue Spidey on suicide watchHomecoming is falling. What Venom did in the second week would be good for any CBMs openening.
We had pretty good indicators with its 10–11% drops after the Opening, I feel like everyone kind of slept on the highest user reviews of any CBM ever. We discard that kind of stuff elsewhere but it's a very important metric on China considering their social media integration.
FB2 got a 7.8 in China and most films of its type with that score don't cross 1.6 multiplier.
Does it have a shot to pass Homecoming? Because I will make a thread for that aloneIf Venom passes Spider-Man 3, it would be the highest grossing superhero film outside of the MCU and Dark Knight duo. Ahead of everything else from Sony, Fox, and the DCEU. Also ahead of 14 of the 20 MCU films.

You won't know this weekend. But this weekend in China seems to be high enough to keep it on the table.
I think reaching original Spider-Man (~820M) numbers are the only reasonable expectations from Venom now, because apart from China, Venom does not have any other territory left to make an earning. So with current sales of ~720M it can only add another ~100M before the Venom run ends.. expecting Venom to add another 150M+ in china on top of existing ~150M are crazy high expectations.If Venom passes Spider-Man 3, it would be the highest grossing superhero film outside of the MCU and Dark Knight duo.

You won't need to dig up posts, just links to any venom related thread since it's announcement and you will have 90% posts shitting on it.I wish I was vindictive enough to keep old posts of people around here who laughed at the thought of Venom making a shit ton of money when I pointed out its trailers huge view count, in comparison to Solo's low view count.
Who's laughing now? YOU, ANIMALS!

Deadline updated their article. The $9.1M for FB included $1.8M from Tuesday's advance fan screenings so Thursday's actual was $7.3M. $70M weekend is current estimate.
Widows - $600K
Instant Family - $550K
Deadline is saying that Friday is 27.5M. 70M for the weekend is pretty optimistic given that number. FB1 was $2M higher on the Friday and was under 75M for the weekend.
Venom beating Homecoming will provide an untold amount of salt.
Can't wait!
Sony's future right now:
Gonna be seeing a lot of these guys soon.

Again, I don't see that happening unless the sequel also does well. They'd want to make sure the first movie's performance wasn't a fluke. Sony still has time to run this franchise into the ground before it really gets goingLol I can see Marvel sitting back wondering what gift basket they are going to send Sony to talk about Venom.
