Against all odds, or at least critical consensus, Venom is breaking records at the box office. The Sony Pictures film raised its worldwide total to $822.5M over the holiday weekend, moving ahead of Wonder Woman ($821.8M) and Spider-Man ($821.7M) on the all-time superhero box office rankings. That gives Venom a pair of new records.
“Against all odds, or at least critical consensus…”
“…the highest-grossing superhero origin movie ever made. Black Panther ($1.35B) still holds the record for best solo franchise debut, but it wasn’t an origin film…”
“If you want to know who gets the credit (or blame) for Venom’s success…”
Folks, if you needed anymore proof that Sean Gerber is a fucking asshole, here it is. Couldn’t even bother hiding his disdain for this film’s success. Not to mention a friendly (and completely irrelevant) reminder that this film can’t hold a candle to Black Panther, which Gerber feels should win every Oscar ever invented.
Marvel Studios News is a joke. Stan Lee dies and you can’t even get people to give a shit about it.
