VENOM: THE LAST DANCE Receives Surprise Election Day Box Office Boost And Breaks A Franchise Record

With people flocking to theaters on Election Day in North America, Venom: The Last Dance benefited greatly with a boost that's broken a Venom franchise record. You can find more details after the jump...

As we first told you earlier today, those looking to escape the U.S. Election drama flocked to theaters yesterday evening to take advantage of discounted ticket prices. 

That was very good news for Sony Pictures' Venom: The Last Dance as the threequel grossed an impressive $3.4 million during its second Tuesday. That's a record-breaking 26.8% decline; Venom dropped by -54.6% ($3.7 million) and Venom: Let There Be Carnage by -61% ($2.5 million).

With a $95.3 million haul in North America, Venom: The Last Dance is eyeing a domestic box office run of $150 million. While it's likely to end its run with less than its predecessors, the movie - made for a modest $120 million - should turn a tidy profit. 

With rumours swirling about an Agent Venom movie (you can learn more about the character here), Sony is bound to find a way to continue this franchise...with or without Tom Hardy. 

The actor said repeatedly during the press tour that The Last Dance is his final Venom movie but repeatedly shared a desire to cross paths with Tom Holland's Spdier-Man. 

"I want to fight Spider-Man. I want to fight Spider-Man right now. I'm well up for it...Never say never," Hardy teased. "I've loved every moment of Eddie and Venom and I was really fond of them. I'd play them any time, you know, because there's a special place that exists within me to want to operate those two characters wherever you put them in whatever capacity."

Did you take refuge from the 24-hour news cycle in theaters yesterday evening?

"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 - Venom had it's glory....this is for every liberal who said trump was gonna lose,for them trying to kill that man and he rose above it. The only thing liberals did was help him win. So to all dems and libs thank you for helping Trump win.

@TRUMP0WINS - But 2 Trumps. It's not bad if you just close your eyes and take a deep breath. Trump and Trump Jr went to town on me like Brendan Gleeson and the guards in Joker 2.

A second article calling to attention the election, about the same movie, and the record it broke is that it had less of a decline than past movies on a tuesday?

Like, what are we doing here?

Fact is Trump is a rapist and a criminal and deserves to be in prison whether he won the election or not.

@dracula - It's hilarious that you think that garbage case, which was politically motivated and likely contributed to Trump's win, is going to result in anything.

Seriously, dude, get help. You lost. Badly. Accept it and move on.
dracula
dracula - 11/6/2024, 3:44 PM
@Elle79 - never denied Trump won this election

Doesnt change that Trump is a con and his presidency should have zero effect on his upcoming sentencing

Also doesnt erase his relationship to epstein or what he did to e jean caroll

@TRUMP0WINS - It was a publicity stunt designed to win Trump the election and it worked and they killed the guy they hired but only after he clipped Trumps ear like he was paid to.

Straight enough?

@TRUMP0WINS - Everyone who survives anything and everyone who lives, that's decided by God. Trump isn't special and I haven't seen him doing much operating in serving God, Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit. Jesus is Lord!

@TRUMP0WINS - get your facts straigth ...the hit was on Corey Comperatore ....Trump's ear was on the way but the skill of the shooter was METAL GEAR 6 TIER and he completed the mission despite Donald blocking the way talking about how hot is Elon Musk mom....and i give that to you...she is kinda of a gilf, wonder if she can star as Sabra's mother in the MCU now that Musk is gonna be in charge of Disney Plus in this administration.

Venom must be the reason 15 million democrats who voted in 2020, decided to not vote in 2024.

These comments are more entertaining than the movie.

Thanks, Josh, for instigating.

Am I the only one who genuinely enjoyed this film… ?! I honestly had a great giggle watching it! Was it flawed? Absolutely, yes! I have to be honest, the comedy of it won out for me. It’s never going to be in my top 20 list or anything, but I’ve seen far worse comic book movies.
