Will VenomLetThereBeCarnage and NoTimeToDie inject the box office with much-needed momentum?
” . Will the back-to-back tentpoles be a potent enough combination to bring people back to theaters and sustain box office stamina through the end of the year? Industry watchers appear to be confident the early October release dates will set the stage for a busy fall season.
In the months since the industry has attempted to mount a comeback, movies catered to younger, and mostly male audiences, such as Universal’s “Fast and Furious” sequel “F9,” Warner Bros. tentpole “Godzilla vs. Kong” and the Ryan Reynolds sci-fi comedy “Free Guy,” have sold more tickets compared to films that cater to older crowds. That’s especially promising for “Venom: Let There Be Carnage,” the sequel that sees Tom Hardy return as the journalist turned alien symbiote.
Another potential obstacle: “Venom: Let There Be Carnage” and “No Time to Die” both hail from franchises that are heavily reliant on the international box office in order to turn a profit. Overseas, the moviegoing landscape has been unsteady. Many international countries still have capacity restrictions in place and in some areas, such as France, Italy and Germany, patrons have to show proof of vaccination to enter cinemas.
