Sony’s Marvel Universe has released the final chapter in its Venom trilogy, and it’s going be epic, humorous, and flawless than ever. Venom: The Last Dance will close out Sony’s Marvel saga for the antihero, and the excitement is already brewing as it heads for a strong opening at the box office this week.
While early reactions from the audience have been positive, the recent shifts in superhero cinema trends will make it hard to predict the scale of Venom: The Last Dance’s success. Moreover, the speculation about Spider-Man‘s cameo in Venom 3 will likely fuel its box-office success.
How Much Does Venom: The Last Dance Need for Box Office Success?
Generally, as a rule of thumb, a movie is considered to be a box office success when it makes twice its production budget, covering both the revenue split with theaters and hefty marketing costs. For Venom: The Last Dance to succeed at the box office, it needs to make around $240 million. Given that the previous film, Venom: Let There Be Carnage, grossed an impressive $506 million despite pandemic challenges, expectations are pretty high for Venom 3.
According to Deadline, The Last Dance is tracking for an opening weekend of $70 million, which is comparatively the lowest opening in the franchise. But given the debut of Knull in the saga, expectations are high, and The Last Dance will be a decent hit for Sony.
What Is Venom: The Last Dance Production Budget?
Venom: The Last Dance continues the trend of modest budgets for Sony’s Venom series. According to Variety, the movie has an estimated budget of $120 million. It also aligns with Venom’s previous films, with the first Venom costing around $100-116 million while Let There Be Carnage at $110 million. Venom films were successfully delivered to the box office despite the low production budgets. By contrast, other superhero films like Joker: Folie a Deux soared to a $200 budget but failed miserably at the box office.
