Sony is reporting a whopping $10M for Venom-–the best Thursday night preview in October of all-time beating Paranormal Activity 3‘s $8M midnight shows, while Warner Bros. is reporting that the last three nights of previews for A Star Is Born tallied $4.55M.
Venom started its play at 5 p.m. in 3,543 locations and at around 6PM we were noticing that the Tom Hardy Marvel superhero movie was on its way to at least $7M. Sony is sticking to its $55M projection, while industry projections see it much higher in the $60M-$65M. The thing to keep in mind is how front-loaded this is going to be, and that’s why estimates are being squashed at this point in time.
‘Venom’ springs to best October preview of all-time with $10M

Saw Venom last night. I truly don’t get the critics dislike of it. Charming is how I would describe it. Dark, humor and suspense for sure, but the cast was charming. Tom Hardy was incredible in both roles, Ahmed was scary, Williams was terrific. They hit the typical Superhero origin story beats, but they executed them very well. The story kept rolling, never stalled. I smiled the whole time. Also, villain done right. Wow. Upper echelon of superhero movie villains.
This is one of those movies where the previews didn’t sell it right, but also didn’t give away the story.-
Movie still sucks kid get over it

Small victories.
But it’s like saying Ryen scored highest in the class when he went to special ed.
