Venom: Let There Be Carnage, commonly known as Venom 2, released last weekend. The film took a blockbuster start, much bigger than predicted. With its weekend numbers, the Tom Hardy starrer has broken the juggernaut of Black Widow at the box office.
Venom sequel released on 1st October in the United States and Russia/CIS. Speaking of the US, the film has broken all the records that Hollywood biggies set after the pandemic. It surpassed Scarlett Johansson’s Black Widow like a cakewalk, in the opening weekend collection.
As per Box Office Mojo, Venom 2 has made $90.10 million in its first 3 days. It crossed Black Widow’s $80.36 million at the domestic box office. It’s now the highest weekend earner of the post-pandemic era. On the global front, the film has made $103.90 million, in which Russia/CIS contributed $13.80 million.
