The Biggest Winner On Election Night Could End Up Being VENOM: THE LAST DANCE

With people flocking to theaters yesterday evening to escape the endless U.S. election news updates, it appears Venom: The Last Dance will be the biggest winner thanks to a higher turnout than normal...

As we write this, Donald Trump has declared victory and will be the next President of the United States. You've probably noticed that the news cycle has been a little slow this week with all eyes on the election, but Venom: The Last Dance might be the biggest winner when all is said and done

According to Variety, theaters yesterday received a higher turnout than normal (and Tuesdays are already busy thanks to discounted tickets). While we don't yet have specific numbers, the Venom threequel is expected to receive a significant financial boost.

After all, how better to tune out the real world than to switch your brain off with Tom Hardy's latest wacky adventure as the Lethal Protector?

Venom: The Last Dance grossed $2.1 million on Monday and has reached $92 million in North America. The threequel also continues to exceed expectations in China where its total has reached $73.5 million; in the coming weeks, it will almost certainly top Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3's $86.9 million to become the highest-grossing comic book movie in the Middle Kingdom post-COVID.

The movie has clearly struck a chord with people and, when we interview writer/director Kelly Marcel, the filmmaker told us this about making the most epic conclusion to the trilogy she could:

"I wanted to get out of San Francisco, get out of darkness and nighttime and bring Eddie and Venom out into these epic landscapes and into the daylight and shoot everything as practically as possible. The rapid sequence is all practical. That is a bunch of people, including Tom Hardy, underwater in a tank for two weeks. He’s really on that motorbike, we’re really exploding things in that third act outside and while we used little green screen elements here and there, most of the movie is shot practically which is something I’m really, really proud of."

Check back here later for the latest Venom: The Last Dance box office numbers. 

"The most cinematic, monumental Venom movie to date, we said in our recent review of the movie, "The Last Dance leaves room for improvement but by upping the stakes and allowing Eddie and Venom to bond, it’s epic and heartfelt enough to leave us hoping this is far from Tom Hardy’s last whirl as the Lethal Protector."

In Venom: The Last Dance, Tom Hardy returns as Venom, one of Marvel's greatest and most complex characters, for the final film in the trilogy. Eddie and Venom are on the run. Hunted by both of their worlds and with the net closing in, the duo are forced into a devastating decision that will bring the curtains down on Venom and Eddie's last dance.

The movie stars Tom Hardy, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Juno Temple, Peggy Lu, Alanna Ubach, Stephen Graham, and Rhys Ifans. Kelly Marcel directs from a screenplay she wrote, based on a story by Hardy and Marcel. The film is produced by Avi Arad, Matt Tolmach, Amy Pascal, Kelly Marcel, Tom Hardy and Hutch Parker.

Venom: The Last Dance is now playing in theaters.

@ObserverIO - Friendly reminder that Russia invaded Crimea on Obama's watch and Ukraine on Biden's watch, and Iran (let's call a spade a spade) invaded Israel on Biden's watch. No one invaded anyone on Trump's watch. These are facts.

@GeneralZod - Due to Trump's Ruskie heart, there are two scenarios:

1. He stops supplying Ukraine with arms, leaving Zelensky in the lurch to fend for himself and then uses his power and influence to make further concessions to Russia through the US, NATO and Ukraine itself.
Eventually Trump averts WWIII, god bless America.

2. War happens. Trumps lets the Ruskies in the back door and your babies are shot in the face.
GeneralZod
GeneralZod - 11/6/2024, 6:54 AM
@ObserverIO - '2' won't happen because the Russian Federation is now resorting to North Korean soldiers to help it eject the UAF from occupied territory in the Kursk Oblast. Russia cannot expand a conventional war. China won't help it because it won't start a war in Taiwan while Trump is POTUS. So your scenario 2 is off the table.

Scenario 1 is Zelensky's best option because the UAF doesn't have the manpower or air power to eject Russian forces from the considerable territory in Ukraine they occupy today (which they have mined to the gills). Best bet for Ukraine is a cease-fire to give time for Ukraine to rearm and stop any further Russian advance toward Kiev. Trump will broker this.

@GeneralZod - I hope you're right. I forgot about Taiwan. But would that be a deterrent for China or added incentive?
GeneralZod
GeneralZod - 11/6/2024, 7:11 AM
@ObserverIO - Incentive. Taiwan is like a giant cookie China desperately wants to eat. But do they really want to lose their most valuable trade partner, the USA? No.

The American people have spoken.
Make America great again, President Trump. God bless it.

Also, these Venom movies have been awful. No interest in this one.

I'm not American, but the people have spoken, gotta respect it and move on. Let the man work.

For me though, it looks like it's positively affected my crypto wallet 🤑

Of course Wilding woud make an election article... He just wants to cause a stir, which is not the good thing to do.

@IAmAHoot - Trump's back in power. Causing a stir is now an unavoidable way of life for everyone again.

I sincerely hope the next four years are not like 2017-2021. The division, the hatred, the stress... everybody went [frick]ing nuts. We've had a chance to calm down since and people's heart rates are returning to normal. I just hope the fact that he's entering his twilight years means things will be calmer this time.

Not everybody.

@GeneralZod - Let me guess, only half of the people? That's what division is. Everybody went nuts, whether you though you were right or not.

@ObserverIO - Calmer is inevitable. There was a clear, decisive victory for once, so no drawn out legal challenges or, you know, attempted coups.
ObserverIO
ObserverIO - 11/6/2024, 7:12 AM
@Clintthahamster - It was pretty clear and decisive last time too. I guess the difference is the lack of sore losers. Zealots will be zealots.

When Trump lost we had those drawn out legal challenges and an attempted coup, when Trump wins both democrats and republicans are like "Well he won fair and square so good luck to him".

The same people who were talking about the corrupt and broken voting system last time are now perfectly comfortable with it.

The biggest winner is clearly the American people, whether they agree with it or not like josh here.

'At least we have yet another shitty Venom movie to fall back on' That is some mad levels of cope.

I wonder, do the venomized animals end up dying in the movie ? That might be the reason the loonies would like this one.
