As someone who grew up with Venom comics and eagerly watched each film, I must admit that my enthusiasm for the franchise has waned a bit with each new installment. The latest, “Venom: The Last Dance,” seems to be receiving a mixed response from both critics and audiences, which is not unexpected given its B- CinemaScore.
The Venom movies haven’t been particularly well-received by critics, but they’ve still made a billion dollars thanks to their widespread appeal. However, with Venom: The Last Dance, it seems that Tom Hardy and his team are wrapping up the franchise on a relatively low note, at least based on one significant measure – the film received a B- CinemaScore, which is the lowest of the series, suggesting that Venom 3 might not generate the same word-of-mouth buzz that catapulted the original into instant cult status.
Initially, both movies “Venom” and “Venom: Let There Be Carnage” received a B+ rating upon their theater releases. Interestingly, “Let There Be Carnage” was perceived as surpassing expectations slightly due to the tendency for more violent films to deter some audience members. This factor may not significantly impact ratings on Rotten Tomatoes, which typically review movies hours or days later, but it could influence CinemaScore, as these polls are conducted right outside the theater. Here, viewers might focus more on unsettling images rather than overall enjoyment. Potentially, “Venom 3” may not have reached the heights set by “Carnage,” as it seemingly tested the boundaries of its PG-13 rating to the maximum.
In contrast to the PopcornMeter on Rotten Tomatoes, where it garnered an 80% positive rating, equivalent to the initial Venom movie, it currently ranks second as Venom: Let There Be Carnage scored 84%. However, while the first film has aged better and is less frequently criticized by fans who now consider the sequel to be the weakest of the trilogy, it still managed to secure a substantial 57% positive reviews from critics. In comparison, Venom only received 30%, and The Last Dance got 37%.
Despite Sony’s struggles to launch successful Spider-Man spin-offs such as Morbius and Madame Web over the past few years, Venom still managed to score a hit series for Sony. The latest installment, Venom: The Last Dance, starring Tom Hardy as the symbiote, debuted in theaters this weekend and earned $51 million at the domestic box office, marking a new low for the franchise.
It’s clear that Hardy’s Venom isn’t going to be the last on-screen portrayal of this character; after all, Venom initially emerged as a Spider-Man antagonist. Even in the latest film, Spider-Man: No Way Home, there were hints about incorporating symbiotes into the primary universe of Marvel. There’s even speculation that Venom could potentially be the villain, or one of the villains, in Spider-Man 4, which has recently been confirmed to be in production soon.
