VENOM: THE LAST DANCE Passes $400 Million Worldwide As The Movie Continues To Exceed Box Office Expectations

The latest box office numbers are in for Venom: The Last Dance, and after passing $400 million worldwide, the threequel is on track to eventually earn more than 2021's Venom: Let There Be Carnage...

When Venom: The Last Dance opened in North America far below initial expectations - with a disappointing $51 million - it looked like Sony Pictures might have another box office flop on its hands. 

Morbius and Madame Web were both subjects of ridicule and lost a lot of good faith for a studio that's not exactly known for making quality comic book movies when Marvel Studios isn't involved.

However, since opening in theaters last month, Venom: The Last Dance has continued to exceed expectations. In fact, it's now crossed $400 million at the worldwide box office. As things stand, it will end up making more than Venom: Let There Be Carnage's $503 million, a terrific result considering it only cost $120 million to produce. 

In fact, with a reported total production cost of $340 million across the Venom trilogy, this series will end up having made upwards of $1.8 billion in box office revenue for Sony Pictures.

Tom Hardy has said this is his last Venom movie, but there's no way the character will remain on the shelf for long with numbers like that. 

Venom: The Last Dance was also the clear winner on Veterans Day in the U.S. grossing $2.3 million on the Monday holiday. That's an increase from of over 19% from last Monday; at the same point in their respective runs, Venom had dipped by 54.6% and the sequel by as much as 68.3% (compared to the week before). 

Rumours continue to swirl that an Agent Venom movie is up next, and we'd imagine Hardy would play a supporting role in the project, particularly if the plan is to build to a major crossover featuring Knull. 

Alternatively, we may see him in the MCU alongside Tom Holland in Spider-Man 4. It all depends on who you choose to believe...

"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.

My kids wanted to see this movie, so I begrudgingly took them, hating the first two.

Man, this one was hilarious! There were some dumb parts...but on the whole, we had a great time laughing

@Pathogen - Great to hear. Kids need to be given fun movies to watch at the movie theater besides digital cartons.

Sony is Lulu Ebeling and Spiderman related content is some random Goldfish. Also, "Look how they massacred by boy!"

$1.8 billion for such a mediocre trilogy, yet fans wonder why Sony keeps making these.

Lol

Forth movie enroute.

I should get a job at Sony. They'll continue to eat at this rate, quality of content notwithstanding.

If Tom is out I’m out, just saw the last one and every time he wasn’t on screen the movie would suffer he puts on a great one man show. I love him as Venom I can’t picture going back to the lame ass bodybuilder with the crew cut after him

The first one made over 800M, the second one over 500M and the third one will probably lock in around 400M

That is not an upwards trajectory

@Blergh - Learn to read.
The 3rd one already made Mode than $400 million and will likely make Mode than $503 million.

It also cost less than the 2nd one.

what will sony do now that this is over after Kraven bombs

guessing hardy will get a fat pay check to return

maybe even a cut of the box office

@dracula - I don't think Kraven will bomb.
It has the x-mas corridor and it will be r-rated and has the next James Bond.
It also hasn't any competition as an r-rated action flick.

@MarvelZombie616 - it’s going to bomb. I’m not even a hater, it has zero juice behind it

I have a stupid rule that if I don't see a movie from Thursday Preview to it's opening Saturday, I can't see it in a theater after that. I missed this one. I'll be waiting to purchase the VOD file. I'm glad the movie is performing though. The Venom movies are just fun. I haven't read any articles, except for the spoiler-ish clickbait titles on this site. I have gathered that we may not have seen the last of Venom and Knull?!

I wish Sony could get this Spider-verse thing right outside of Venom and the animated series. I'm in the minority that did enjoy Morbius. Madame Web was just so bad. I don't have any hope for Kraven, either.

I’ve said it twice on here & I’ll say it again…. this was a fun movie. It just simply was entertaining. Everything these days on social media either has to the GREATEST or the WORST. The reality is the general public just want to switch their brain off for a couple of hours. That’s it.

Even not being excited for Joker, I never in a million years would’ve thought venom would be SUBSTANTIALLY more successful than that turd.

People sometimes forget that there are films that are there unpretentiously just wanting to entertain.
I agree with the friend above who said that nowadays on the internet, either the film has to be the biggest or it sucks.
Furthermore, the Venom films still suffer from the side effect of being comic book adaptations, and a certain portion of these fans often complain exaggeratedly.

@cadunovaes01 - thank you. So well said. It’s just tiring having to pick sides all the time. Some of these movies are just simply made to be basic popcorn fodder.
