Venom: The Last Dance Nears $400 Million Globally

Sony's 'Venom: The Last Dance' has had a successful run, grossing nearly $115 million domestically and $279 million internationally, approaching a global total of $394 million. The film, while not critically acclaimed, has performed particularly well in China, where it has earned over $80 million and is on track to become the highest-grossing comic book movie post-COVID in that market. Despite strong international numbers, 'Venom: The Last Dance' is lagging behind its predecessors, which grossed over $200 million domestically. The film fended off competition from new releases, including 'Heretic' and 'The Best Christmas Pageant Ever,' both of which received positive reviews. Trade analysts note that while the film is performing well internationally, its domestic trajectory shows a decline compared to earlier installments. Overall, the film's performance signifies its strong fan base, albeit amidst mixed critical reception.
