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.

Liam Neeson is 72 years old. He’s had a good run; pass the torch, have a calcium shake and relax.
Haven’t heard about either
I, and my family, definitely enjoyed the Wild Robot, solid film. I seriously hope they get to do the sequel (it’s based on a book series).
100% worth watching and supporting!
Wow. That’s a lot of new films probably heading to PVOD really quite fast.
Didn’t even know Venom was out
It’s pretty bad. But for a venom movie it’s not too bad.
I’m surprised “Here” bombed. Also kinda surprised Venom 3 bombed too although I’m not shocked it didn’t do great.
As this is the first I’m hearing about “Here” I’m not actually all that surprised as to its struggles.
I only saw the trailer and found it pretty intriguing.
Is the wild robot in theaters I thought I was already streaming?
I went to see it in the other week and it is still on at my local multiplex (6 screenings today).
Think I saw a non-cam torrent so should be streaming I guess
I saw it tonight at a theater.
who coulda seen that comin? lol
