Columbia Pictures’ Venom: The Last Dance is essentially going day-and-date in China on October 23. The pic hits domestic theaters on Oct. 25.
The first Venom in 2018 received a China grossing close to $270M unadjusted for inflation; the first Tom Hardy movie repping just over a third of the Marvel movie’s $856M global gross. The post-Covid sequel, 2021’s Venom: Let There Be Carnage which made just over a half billion around the globe did not have a theatrical release in the Middle Kingdom.
In Venom: The Last Dance, Hardy returns as Venom, in the final film in the trilogy. Eddie and Venom are on the run. Hunted by both of their worlds and with the net closing in, the duo are forced into a devastating decision that will bring the curtains down on Venom and Eddie’s last dance.
The first Venom opened to $80.2M at the October domestic box office, once the highest opening before being pushed to fourth; Warner Bros/DC’s Joker the fall month’s champ with at $96.2M. Vernom: Let There Be Carnage is the third highest opening for October at $90M behind the month’s second highest debut, Taylor Swift: Eras Tour at $93.2M.
