'Venom: Let There Be Carnage' becomes biggest opening of the pandemic
CNN
Venom devoured the box office.
"Venom: Let There Be Carnage" — Sony's follow-up to the hit 2018 supervillain film — blew past expectations at the ticket booth this weekend. The film, which stars Tom Hardy as the ravenous alien symbiote, notched an estimated $90.1 million at the North American box office this weekend.
The total is the biggest for the pandemic era and second biggest ever for the month of October, according to Comscore (SCOR). It's also incredibly good news for theaters owners who are hoping that October can string together multiple hit weekends at the box office. So far, "Venom: Let There Be Carnage" — a film that played exclusively in theaters — has done exactly that.
