Venom 3 Struggles at Box Office with Disappointing Domestic Debut

The final installment in the Marvel trilogy sees mixed results, with strong international performance but underwhelming domestic turnout.

The film, titled 'Venom: The Last Dance,' opened to $51 million domestically, marking the lowest debut in the franchise.
Internationally, the movie fared better, grossing $124 million, which constitutes about 70% of its total opening weekend revenue.
Critics were largely unimpressed, with a 37% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes, although audiences rated it higher at 80%.
Sony's marketing efforts failed to position 'The Last Dance' as a must-see event, contributing to its lackluster domestic performance.
The film's profitability is expected to rely heavily on its international box office, highlighting a shift in audience reception for comic book movies.
