Venom: The Last Dance Sells 35K Tickets in Top Chains For Paid Previews

So far the movie has collected Rs 1 crore with its pre-sales. If walk-ins help, the movie is expected to collect Rs 3 crore on Thursday as its paid previews. 

Venom: The Last Dance Will Heavily Depend On Word-of-mouth

The superhero movie has to open with banger word-of-mouth to work exceptionally at the box office. Though it is expected to open with Rs 5 crore on Friday, it’s still not enough for a franchise like Venom. 

The Hollywood biggie will rely majorly on spot booking. As usual, Venom 3 will grab more audience in the South regions than the North belt. It will be interesting to see how the Marvel movie will fare after the first weekend. It will face a massive dent with the Diwali releases- Singham Again, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, Amaran and others at the box office. For the unversed, Venom: The Last Dance is the final part of the franchise.
