“Venom: Let There be Carnage” roared to the US $90.1 million in its debut, setting a new pandemic record.
It’s an impressive result, one that provides a lifeline to struggling movie theatres and (once again) proves Marvel’s might at the box office.
The much darker “Venom” follow-up comes from Sony Pictures and is separate from Disney’s Marvel Cinematic Universe, which recently delivered “Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings” and “Black Widow” - the two highest-grossing films of the year at the domestic box office. The film is playing only in cinemas as opposed to a hybrid release on-demand, a factor that should help ticket sales.
