Box Office Report: "Venom: The Last Dance" Sees Slower $22 Million Opening Day, Lagging Behind Previous Films in the Series Sony’s highly anticipated “Venom: The Last Dance” opened this weekend, but it didn’t bring the thunder expected from the latest chapter of the hit anti-hero franchise. With a $22 million take across Friday and preview screenings from 4,131 theaters in North America, the film’s debut is well below the franchise’s earlier entries. This underperformance has sparked concerns for the future of the “Venom” series and Sony’s broader strategy for its Marvel anti-heroes.

 "Pop Star Haunting in 'Smile 2' Thrills Audiences, Earns $2.5 Million in Previews"




Smile 2 is expected to make between $20 million and $25 million in its opening weekend, with some projections even higher. The first film, made for a streaming release, had a surprisingly strong $22.6 million opening in 2022 and went on to become a sleeper hit, grossing $105 million domestically and $217 million globally.

Smile 2 follows Skye Riley (Naomi Scott), a world-famous pop star who becomes the latest target of the demonic force that causes its victims to smile maniacally and then kill themselves. The film follows Skye as she embarks on a comeback tour and slowly loses her grip on reality.

Also opening this weekend is the buzzy indie film Anora, from director Sean Baker. Anora is about a stripper who falls in love with the son of a Russian oligarch. The film has been generating Oscar buzz and opens in limited release this weekend.
