Another quiet week at the box office, and it’ll be the last one for a while as a slew of blockbusters are about to be unveiled in the next few weeks. With that said, Sony’s “Venom: The Last Dance” took advantage of the lack of any competition by staying on top at the box-office.
The third and final entry in the ‘Venom’ franchise pulled in an estimated $16M in its third weekend – bringing its domestic total to $115M. However, its $400M worldwide total is further proof how popular this movie really is overseas, especially in China where it has become a cultural success.
As far as the new releases go, “Best Christmas Pageant Ever” and A24’s “Heretic” are practically tied for second place, with both on track to take in $11M. ‘Pageant’ might have the slight edge, but it’s currently too close to call. “The Wild Robot” ($6.7M) and “Smile 2” ($5M) completed the top five.
Meanwhile, “Conclave” ($4.1M) continued its hot streak and has so far amassed $21M domestically, surpassing its $20M budget. Sean Baker’s “Anora,” which has a small budget of $6M, went wide this weekend and pulled in $2.5M, its current worldwide total sits at $13M.
Marvel's "Ghost Rider" just hired one of the best cinematographers working today. Linus Sandgren will serve as DP on Shawn Levy's MCU flick, and, most notably, the project will be shot on film.
