“The Last Dance” rises to $8 million in previews

EXCLUSIVE: Currently we hear that Sony/Marvel Venom: The Last Dance looks around $8 million There will be previews tonight, maybe more tomorrow morning. Showtimes began at 2:00 p.m. in the U.S., Canada, 3,500 locations.

Given this number, there is a path to a $65 million opening, which we mentioned would mark the lowest start for the trilogy in the US after owning the third (2021's). Venom: Let There Be Carnage at $90 million) and fourth best (2018). Poison) Openings for October. Yes, we expect more from superhero threequels, but that's it Poison and the franchise has always made significantly more overseas (somewhere between 60% and 75%) than domestically. Therefore, the global figure means more for the studio to offset production costs of $120 million before marketing expenses.

Competitions: 2022 Black Adam saw $7.6 million in previews before grossing $26.6 million on Friday and $67 million over the weekend. There will be another similar competition in 2023 Fast X That had $7.5 million on Thursday night, $28 million on Friday and an opening price of $67 million.

Recently, Warner Bros. Joker: Folie a Deux grossed $7 million in previews before opening at $37.6 million – however, this film was sold under false pretenses to the fanboys, hence the D CinemaScore because they didn't expect it, to be blown away by a musical. At least here sweep out, You get what you paid for here, a crazy, crazy Tom Hardy Poison Film.

Reviews are pretty bad for Venom: The Last Dance with a 36% on Rotten Tomatoes – but they're not the worst. That goes with the first Poison at 30%. For the second part, there was a certain improvement among film critics with 57%. Both Poison And Venom: Let There Be Carnage earned B+ CinemaScores, which is healthy enough to make this also popular antihero a tentpole.
