Venom 3 Box Office Projected to Open Lower Than Black Adam

Tom Hardy’s upcoming film, Venom 3: The Last Dance might have a lower opening at the box office than Black Adam on its first day. Venom 3 is set to arrive in theaters this Friday, with Hardy in the titular role. The movie marks Hardy’s final appearance as the symbiote.

Venom 3’s domestic box office looking to open around $65 million

According to a report by Variety, Venom 3: The Last Dance is expected to make a debut at the domestic box office with $65 million. This expected opening amount records just below the opening day collection of the 2022 Dwayne Johnson starrer Black Adam, which made approximately $67 million on its first day. Black Adam wasn’t a commercial success and also failed to impress critics.

On the other hand, Venom 3 is on track to become a hit, as it has been receiving positive first reactions. Additionally, the first two Venom movies also proved to be big box-office successes. Venom, which was released in 2018, clocked around $80 million as its opening collection and went on to earn $856 million globally, as per Box Office Mojo. This made it one of the biggest hits of that year. On the other hand, Venom: Let There Be Carnage reportedly made around $90 million on its opening day, and its worldwide collection amounted to around $506 million.

According to Deadline, even with a low opening, Venom 3, directed by Kelly Marcel, can clock in $150 million in its opening weekend, exceeding its budget of $120 million.
