VENOM SPOILERS: A Countdown Of All The Batshit Crazy Things That Happen In The Movie
The latest figures are in, and on its third week on release the Tom Hardy-starrer has passed $300 million internationally and is now zeroing in on $500M worldwide. For a more specific breakdown, Venom is currently sitting at $302.5M internationally, $175.3M domestic and $477.8M global - and it's yet to open in China or Japan.
It looks like that sequel is now all-but guaranteed, and Sony will surely be a lot more confident about the rest of their Spider-Man-less Spider-Man movies.

One of Marvel’s greatest and most complex characters takes center stage as Eddie Brock (Tom Hardy) becomes the host for the alien symbiote Venom. As a journalist, Eddie has been trying to take down the notorious founder of the Life Foundation, genius Carlton Drake (Riz Ahmed) – and that obsession ruined his career and his relationship with his girlfriend, Anne Weying (Michelle Williams).
Upon investigating one of Drake’s experiments, the alien Venom merges with Eddie’s body, and he suddenly has incredible new superpowers, as well as the chance to do just about whatever he wants. Twisted, dark, unpredictable, and fueled by rage, Venom leaves Eddie wrestling to control dangerous abilities that he also finds empowering and intoxicating. As Eddie and Venom need each other to get what they’re looking for, they become more and more intertwined — where does Eddie end and Venom begin?
