At this point in time, the spoils of a slow weekend are going to Sony’s Venom: The Last Dance which is looking at a No. 1 take around $14M for the 3-day after a $3.6M Friday at 3,905 sites. That’s the first time ever that a Venom movie has held the top spot

But first Venom: The Last Dance scored a second week at No. 1 during a slow box office season, pulling in another $26.1 million to add to its domestic haul of $90 million. Internationally, the third and final film in the Venom franchise did even better, earning $68.4 million this weekend, for a global cume of $317 million.

The major Hollywood studios skirted this weekend and held off on new releases, a decision that likely hedged against an uncertain national mood following the presidential election. Their absence is others’ gain though,

Heretic, the A24 R-rated horror movie from A Quiet Place scribes Scott Beck and Bryan Woods, began its journey this weekend with $1.2M in previews last night that began at 7PM. That figure doesn’t include the Salt Lake City sneaks that recently occurred.
