Venom: Let There Be Carnage will now go on Sept 17 in stead of June 25. This comes in the wake of Universal’s F9 moving onto the Sony/Marvel summer date after departing Memorial Day weekend.
Venom 2 will have the full suite of 3D, Imax and premium large format screens. Previously on Sept. 17, Sony had the Man From Toronto which is now TBD for the time being. Also opening on Sept. 17 is Universal/Dreamworks Animation’s The Boss Baby: Family Business.
The first film was released over the first weekend in 2018, charted a then October opening record of $80.2M domestic (before Joker upset that record a year later with $96.2M) and ultimately grossed over $850M WW.
Andy Serkis directs the sequel with Tom Hardy reprising his role as the spider anti-hero. Michelle Williams is back as well in addition to Woody Harrelson as villain Carange.
