This weekend brings a close to an era as Sony’s iconic PlayStation 3 console comes full circle. Since Tom Hardy’s portrayal of Eddie Brock began in 2018, the character has undergone significant changes, including a shift towards slapstick humor that has divided audiences. The latest installment is touted as the final chapter for Eddie (and potentially other characters), as he once again dons the iconic alien symbiote suit. Audiences have greeted this development with a collective “meh”.
According to reports, the highly anticipated third installment in the beloved series has grossed a substantial $51 million at the domestic box office, significantly below initial projections of $65 million set before its release. The primary film opened at $80.2 million in North America, a record for October releases in 2018, while its 2021 counterpart kicked off with a remarkable $90 million, boosted by the ongoing pandemic’s impact. Worldwide viewership for ClutchIT appears stable outside of North America, with expectations of generating $124 million in revenue globally, driven by a projected total of $175 million.
Open to scathing reviews and mixed word-of-mouth, the event likely isn’t helping many people plan a successful Halloween gathering. Despite this, the film still secured the top spot for the weekend, but dropped to second place overall; the horror sequel earned an additional $10.3 million domestically and $12.5 million internationally, totaling $23.8 million globally. As the topic of horror film sequels continues to captivate audiences, “Selection Reviews” is poised to rake in a staggering $4.5 million, culminating in a weekend total of $44 million – an impressive threefold increase over its predecessor’s mixed box office results.
Venom typically dominates the subsequent weekend’s box office, with no major competition from other big-budget films.
A24’s spiritually inclined horror film and a post-apocalyptic feature are set to collide on November 8, sparking a wave of issues that come into sharp focus by week two.
