As Sony prepares to enter into its final marketing push for Venom, the latest industry estimates point to the first solo big-screen outing for the psychotic symbiote taking in between $60 - $70 million over the course of its opening weekend in North America.
Early opening weekend forecasts indicated that the movie could be looking at $65 – $85 million, but studio insiders are being more cautious.
Still, even if Venom manages to climb higher than the $50 million mark it has a very good shot at breaking the October opening weekend record currently held by Gravity ($55.8 million).
Either way, these projections would seem to suggest that general audiences have been more responsive to the trailers than a good portion of the fan community.
