Venom: The Last Dance is set to debut in China on October 23, marking a day-and-date release strategy. This strategic move is aimed at maximizing box office revenue by tapping into the lucrative Chinese market. The first installment in the Venom franchise, released in 2018, was a massive hit in China, grossing close to $270M. However, the sequel, Venom: Let There Be Carnage, did not have a theatrical release in the Middle Kingdom, which could potentially impact its performance in the region.
In Venom: The Last Dance, Tom Hardy reprises his role as Venom in the final film of the trilogy. The storyline follows Eddie and Venom as they are on the run, hunted by both of their worlds. As the net closes in on them, they are faced with a life-changing decision that will bring an end to Venom and Eddie’s journey. The stakes are high in this action-packed conclusion to the series.
The first Venom movie opened to a strong $80.2M at the domestic box office in October, establishing itself as a box office contender. However, it was later surpassed by Warner Bros/DC’s Joker, which grossed $96.2M in its opening weekend. The sequel, Venom: Let There Be Carnage, also had a solid start with a $90M opening weekend, making it the third highest October debut. With such a strong track record, Venom: The Last Dance is expected to continue the franchise’s success at the box office.
Apart from Tom Hardy’s return as Venom, the movie also features a talented ensemble cast, including Chiwetel Ejiofor, Juno Temple, Rhys Ifans, Peggy Lu, Alanna Ubach, and Stephen Graham. The film is helmed by director Kelly Marcel, who also wrote the screenplay based on a story by Hardy and Marcel. Produced by a team of industry veterans, including Avi Arad, Matt Tolmach, Amy Pascal, and Tom Hardy himself, Venom: The Last Dance promises to deliver a thrilling and satisfying conclusion to the trilogy.
Venom: The Last Dance is poised to make a significant impact on the global box office with its exciting storyline, star-studded cast, and strong track record of box office success. As fans eagerly await the final chapter in the Venom trilogy, all eyes are on the release date to see how this highly anticipated movie will perform at the box office.
