The latest installment in the 'Venom' franchise, titled 'Venom: The Last Dance,' debuted at the box office with a collection of $51 million in its opening weekend, falling short of initial projections. This figure is notably lower than the previous entries in the series, with the original 'Venom' film opening at $80.2 million in 2018 and its sequel, 'Venom: Let There Be Carnage,' debuting at $90 million in 2021.
Despite the lower domestic performance, 'Venom: The Last Dance' is faring better internationally, raking in $124 million over the weekend, including a strong showing in China with $46 million over five days. The film, starring Tom Hardy in a dual role, has a production budget of around $120 million, making it more cost-effective compared to other comic-book adaptations.
