'Venom: Let There Be Carnage' is a sequel to the film 'Venom' which was released in 2018. The latest film is also based on Marvel Comics and is directed by Andy Serkis. Tom Hardy returns to the big screen as the lethal protector Venom, one of MARVEL’s greatest and most complex characters.

According to sonypictures.com, it is written by Kelly Marcel with the story by Tom Hardy & Marcel, the film also stars Michelle Williams, Naomie Harris and Woody Harrelson, in the role of the villain Cletus Kasady/Carnage.

According to the Reuters report, the supervillain sequel, starring Tom Hardy as the otherworldly lethal protector, blew past the pandemic-era benchmark set last July by 'Black Widow', which opened to $80 million in theaters. It made an additional $60 million on Disney Plus, where it was available to purchase on the same day as its theatrical debut.

The Reuters report further informed that 'Venom: Let There Be Carnage' had a bigger opening weekend than its predecessor 'Venom' which was released in 2018.

The first comic book adventure with Hardy at the helm opened to $80 million, years before the devastating global health crisis. Despite terrible reviews, the original became a box office juggernaut and grossed $213 million in North America and $856 million globally. "Venom" was particularly huge in China, where the 2018 movie collected $269 million, as per the Reuters report.  

It has to be noted that the much darker 'Venom' follow-up comes from Sony Pictures and is separate from Disney's Marvel Cinematic Universe, which recently delivered 'Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings' and 'Black Widow' - the two highest-grossing films of the year at the domestic box office. The Reuters report stated that If its first three days in theaters are any indication, 'Venom: Let There be Carnage' looks to find itself among that group as 2021's biggest earners. The film is playing only in cinemas as opposed to a hybrid release on-demand, a factor that should help ticket sales.
