Venom: The Last Dance wins box office with $51 million ahead of the Halloween holiday

As a cinephile with decades of movie-watching under my belt, I must say this weekend’s box office has been a real treat! Beetlejuice continues to bewitch us all, reminding me of the timeless charm of a good horror-comedy. The performance by Jenna Ortega, Michael Keaton, and Winona Rider is simply spellbinding.


Fright flicks were a big hit at the box office over the weekend as Halloween approaches but a new Marvel film has emerged as the top contender. 

In “Venom: The Last Dance,” starring Tom Hardy as a man merging with an alien entity, this duo embarks on what might be their final joint escapade. As their realms struggle to coexist, they could find themselves forced to separate in order for each world to endure.

In contrast to expectations, the most recent installment of the highly acclaimed Marvel series fell short at the box office, earning only $51 million instead of the projected $65 million return the studio was aiming for.

2018 saw the debut of the original Venom movie, raking in an impressive $80.2 million. In contrast, its sequel, Venom: Let There Be Carnage, had a successful start in 2021 with a box office take of $90 million.

The action-adventure did much better overseas, coming in with $124 million.
