Yes No Are you surprised it did better than the first? - Results (3 votes) Yes 33.33% (1 vote) 1 No 66.67% (2 votes) 2 Despite the first venom being slaughtered by critics and the sequel doing better in critical ratings though still a mediocre 60% RT and Metacritic at 47%, it did what most movies can't by exceeding the original's opening gross which people didn't see coming. Sony obviously has a winner on its hands with the movie and made a good decision by pushing the film to the opening of October but they expected only a 40 million opening considering sequels tend to gross less than it's predecessor. The first Venom grossed 80M so it is a big improvement and even surpassed Black Widow in it's opening weekend with 90.1M. Audiences came out in droves and based on exit polling loved the sequel despite it's short running time and after the post credit scenes, fans are anticipating where this movie is going to go.

Nichtcrawler X 10/03/21 12:39:03 PM #2:	mrduckbear posted... considering sequels tend to gross less than it's predecessor. Depends on the movie. I would guess Venom only gained its current popularity after it left cinemas and people watched it on streaming services. For some reason its initial reception was terrible, but the actual movie was nowhere near as bad as people thought. So I can see why the sequel would do better in cinema. --- Official Teetotaller of PotD Dovie'andi se tovya sagain! <cite>Nichtcrawler X posted [p:958650454] in SHOCKER!! ...

Who wouldn't see this coming? mrduckbear posted... considering sequels tend to gross less than it's predecessor. Which is why Captain America TFA did worse than Winter Soldier did worse than Civil War, and... you know, I could do a very long gag about this, but the punchline is that it's generally untrue of superhero movies. In the case of anything involving the MCU, the returns usually seem to go up. ~~And Venom 2 is apparently connected to the MCU now.~~ --- (\/)(\/)\|-\| There are precious few at ease / With moral ambiguities / So we act as though they don't exist. <cite>Zeus posted [p:958731618] in SHOCKER!! ...
