VENOM devours the competition for $111M Chinese opening

Following that huge opening day, Venom has had a great weekend at the Chinese box office. The movie has taken an estimate $111M over the course of the weekend. That’s the second biggest opening for a superhero movie in the territory.

The Chinese opening record for a superhero movie is of course held by Avengers: Infinity War. That movie took $191M in its opening weekend earlier this year. Venom also becomes the fifth-highest opening for a non-Chinese movie.

Over in North America the movie took a further $4.9M over the weekend. That brings its domestic total to around $206.2M. Worldwide Venom has now jumped up to 7th on the list of highest grossing movies of 2018 with $673.5M, knocking Ant-Man and The Wasp in to 8th place.
