Venom Tops The Global Box Office

Following a lukewarm reception from critics, Sony’s new Spider-Man spin-off movie, Venom, was able to top the box office charts around the globe.   Venom was able to bring in over $205.2 million over the weekend according to comScore’s estimates.  However it will be interesting to see if the movie continues to bring in money after its opening weekend.  

comScore’s Senior Media Analyst Paul Dergarabedian commented, “Two box office stars were born this weekend as Sony’s Marvel entry ‘Venom’ starring Tom Hardy, sunk its teeth into a $205.23 million global debut while director Bradley Cooper’s ‘A Star Is Born’ from Warner Bros., featuring a stellar performance from Lady Gaga, sang a powerful tune taking in $55.25 million worldwide this weekend with more territories to be added next weekend.”
