Venom 3: The Last Dance opened strong in China with an impressive debut of 67.3 million yuan (around $9.4 million), breaking records as the highest day-one box office for a superhero film in China since 2019. The film’s performance in China highlights local audiences’ anticipation, especially since Venom 2 didn’t release there, making Venom 3 the much-awaited finale for fans.
In India, Venom: The Last Dance collected ₹5 crore on its first day, benefiting from early screenings and fan interest. This opening surpasses previous installments in the franchise and is expected to grow significantly with the global release in the U.S. and other major markets this weekend.
The film’s mix of humor and emotional depth, combined with improved visual effects, has received positive reactions from audiences, establishing a promising start for the trilogy’s final chapter.
“Venom: The Last Dance,” the third entry in the Venom series, saw a strong debut with Day 1 box office figures despite varied audience expectations and competition. In India, early estimates suggested a net collection around ₹10.8 crore, indicating a notable local interest, while its global debut has been anticipated to contribute significantly. Domestically, the film was expected to earn around $70 million in the U.S., slightly below the openings of the previous two installments ($80.2 million for Venom and $90 million for Venom: Let There Be Carnage), although the final numbers remain to be seen.
Globally, The Last Dance is projected to perform strongly, particularly in China, which is expected to account for a large portion of the international earnings. This installment, directed by Kelly Marcel, closes out the trilogy with Hardy’s Eddie Brock/Venom character facing new stakes, and early reviews have praised Hardy’s dynamic return. However, some box office analysts predict a slightly lower opening due to limited hype and competition from recent superhero releases like Joker: Folie à Deux.
The overall budget for The Last Dance was about $120 million, setting the bar for profitability at a strong box office run over the coming weeks.
