Venom Dominates North American Box Office

This past weekend saw 'Venom: The Last Dance' maintain its box office lead, grossing $26.1 million, bringing its total to over $90 million domestically and surpassing $300 million globally. In contrast, the much-anticipated reunion film 'Here,' featuring Tom Hanks and Robin Wright, underperformed with an opening of just $5 million, a disappointment considering its star power and critical expectations, receiving a low 36% on Rotten Tomatoes. Meanwhile, 'The Wild Robot' continued to perform well in its sixth week, increasing its earnings by 11% to $7.6 million and totaling over $121 million domestically. Other notable performances included 'Smile 2' and the Focus Features thriller 'Conclave,' which rounded out the top five with $6.8 million and $5.3 million, respectively. Overall, the weekend was characterized as quiet in anticipation of the upcoming presidential election, with several films failing to capture significant audience attention.
