'Venom 3' marks decent start; collects ₹5cr on Day-1
Tom Hardy's latest superhero outing, Venom: The Last Dance, made a decent entry into Indian theaters with a ₹5 crore opening on Thursday, per Sacnilk. What's more, it collected a whopping $9.3 million at the China box office, which marked the biggest opening for a superhero movie since Spider-Man: Far From Home in 2019. The film is expected to earn around $30 million in its first five days in China, beating recent Hollywood releases that debuted over traditional weekends, too.
It should do even better over the weekend
Notably, the Sony Marvel film was released in India a day before its initial release date. Although the film is getting a full-fledged premiere in the country on Friday, the collection from Thursday's paid previews is pretty solid, and in line with the prediction. Apart from the franchise-familiar humor, viewers have also appreciated Hardy's performance as Eddie and Venom.
