Venom's domestic box office exceeds 1.6 billion! It took only 16 days

Sony Columbia Pictures announced yesterday that the domestic box office of "Venom: Let There Be Carnage" has exceeded 1.6 billion yuan.

"Venom" was released in mainland China on November 9, 2018. As of yesterday (24th), it took only 16 days to earn 1.6 billion yuan.

It is worth mentioning that on the 22nd of this month, Sony announced the release dates of two Marvel movies, but did not reveal the specific names. One of the movies is scheduled for July 10, 2020, and the other sequel is scheduled for October 2.

On July 10, this is most likely the Spider-Man spin-off movie "Morbius the Vampire" starring Jared Leto. Like "Venom", Morbius is a villain in the Spider-Man universe.

Michael Morbius was originally a Nobel Prize-winning biologist who experimented on himself to treat a rare blood disease, but the experiment failed and caused him to suffer from hemophilia. Morbius grew fangs and needed blood to survive. His bite could be fatal, but the victim would not become a vampire. At the same time, he also has some other characteristics of vampires, such as aversion to light, the ability to fly, strong speed and self-healing ability.

As for the sequel project scheduled for October, it will either be the sequel to "Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse" or "Venom 2", but the possibility of "Venom 2" is very high. After all, the first "Venom" starring Tom Hardy was a box office hit, and it is expected that the second part will be put on the agenda.
