Venom: The Last Dance Tops Box Office Again

Sony's 'Venom: The Last Dance' dominated the North American box office for the third consecutive week, earning $16.2 million over the Veterans Day weekend, bringing its domestic total to $114.8 million and over $394 million globally. The film's success is attributed to a lack of major releases, as studios avoided launching new films during the holiday weekend. Meanwhile, Lionsgate's 'The Best Christmas Pageant Ever' debuted in second place with $11.1 million, appealing to family and faith-based audiences, while A24's horror film 'Heretic' opened in third with $11 million. 'Heretic' features Hugh Grant as a reclusive Englishman whose encounter with two Mormon missionaries leads to a terrifying ordeal. The box office performance was bolstered by the holiday break, which saw schools closed across the country, contributing to higher attendance. Overall, the weekend showcased a mix of genres, with films attracting diverse audiences and solidifying their respective positions in the market.
