Venom 3 Dominates the Box Office with $26 Million, While ‘Here’ Struggles to Take Off

Venom: The Last Dance’s Box Office Journey After a sluggish start, *Venom: The Last Dance* has shown resilience, declining just 49 percent from its opening weekend—a franchise low—yet still managing to pull in $26.1 million from 4,131 screens. With a domestic total of $90 million, the film has proven to be a steady performer, especially considering the competitive landscape it faces. International Performance While domestic earnings are crucial, the international market has played a significant role in the film's overall success. *The Last Dance* has exceeded its domestic performance overseas, raking in another $68.4 million this weekend. This brings its foreign tally to $227 million and a global total of $317 million. Compared to its predecessor, *Venom: Let There Be Carnage*, *The Last Dance* is slightly ahead at this point in its run, indicating a strong international appeal that has become a hallmark of the franchise. The Struggle of Here In stark contrast to Venom's success, *Here* opened to disappointing numbers, grossing only $5 million. This underwhelming performance highlights the difficulties faced by new releases in capturing audience attention, especially when competing against established franchise titles. Factors contributing to *Here’s* lackluster showing could include marketing strategies, audience interest, and the sheer dominance of the superhero genre in today's cinematic landscape.
