Venom: The Last Dance pulled in another $6.6 million in its second weekend, holding strong at No. 1, according to The Numbers. Starring Tom Hardy as journalist Eddie Brock, the film follows his struggle to coexist with an alien symbiote that feeds on human brains. In just eight days, this final chapter in the Venom trilogy has surpassed $70 million at the box office.
Meanwhile, the psychological thriller “Smile 2,” starring Ray Nicholson (Jack Nicholson’s son), stays firm at No. 2 with an additional $1.98 million, bringing its three-week total to $47 million. New to the top five, Robert Zemeckis’ “Here” claimed the No. 3 spot, debuting with $1.94 million on its first day.
The PG-13 film “Here” centers on a single home and the families who inhabit it over generations. However, The Post’s Johnny Oleksinski gave it a harsh review, likening it to “a subpar stage play with actors dialed up to 200%, delivering melodramatic monologues to the walls.”
