VENOM Projected For $160+ Million Worldwide Opening; Awesome New Mondo Posters Released
Venom opens in a number of overseas locations today and reaches North America on Friday and things are currently looking good at the box office. We also have an amazing new Mondo poster by Matt Ryan Tobin!
According to Deadline, Venom is currently projected to earn anywhere between $160 million - $175 million at the worldwide box office this weekend. Around $60 million - $65 million of that is expected to come from North America, a solid result for Sony's first live-action Spider-Verse movie. However, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice proved that a strong opening doesn't always mean that much.
If moviegoers don't enjoy Venom, repeat viewings will plummet and bad word of mouth will lead to a huge second-week drop (which will then result in it being a box office disappointment, something which is a very real possibility considering the fact Sony must have spent an awful lot of money on special effects). However, bad reviews didn't stop Suicide Squad from being a hit back in 2016.
Venom will be going head to head with A Star Is Born and that's estimated to earn $30 million domestically and an additional $20 million overseas so a lot of "Little Monsters" will no doubt be disappointed that their anti-Venom campaign didn't pay off. In other news, we have two very cool posters for the movie which go on sale from Mondo this Friday. They're illustrated by Matt Ryan Tobin.
