Box-Office: “Venom” Sinks & “Here” Bombs by Garth Franklin

The first weekend of November, once a booming time for movie ticket sales, was more of a bust this year.

“Venom: The Last Dance” looks set to fall to $22.2 million in its second weekend – a decent drop of around 56% from its domestic debut – and will retain its crown as there are no other real contenders for now.

Rober Zemeckis’ new poorly-reviewed, VFX-heavy, Tom Hanks-led “Here” is looking to be a bomb on impact with just $5.2 million for the weekend – just over 10% of its production budget. It will debut in fourth.

“The Wild Robot” looks to be back in second place with $6.7 million, while “Smile 2” will be third with $6.4 million for its third weekend. “Conclave” closes out the top five with $5 million.

Out of the top ten, the Liam Neeson-led “Absolution” is looking to open at just $1.1 million, pretty much confirming his action film days are over.

Warner Bros. Pictures os not reporting grosses on Clint Eastwood’s “Juror #2” which is playing on 35 screens and reportedly did $90,000 on Friday night alone. That film scored very strong reviews but Warners seems intent on burying it.

It's pretty bad. But for a venom movie it's not too bad.
