“Venom: The Last Dance” delivered on its pre-release buzz in mainland China with an opening weekend that was the second biggest this year by a Hollywood movie.
The third film in the “Venom” trilogy earned RMB221 million ($31.1 million) in the conventional Friday-Sunday definition of the weekend in China, according to consultancy firm Artisan Gateway. But “Venom: The Last Dance” actually enjoyed an out of synch Wednesday opening and finished Sunday evening with a $45.9 million five-day cumulative.
Local data providers show that the film topped the box office charts on each of the five days it was on release, with Saturday by far the highest. On that day it played some 150,000 screening sessions and collected a fraction over $14 million.
Premium screen provider, Imax reported that the film earned $6 million, or roughly 14% of its China five-day total, on its screens.

The Chinese film industry saw mixed results during the 2022 National Day holiday period. While the war epic “The Volunteers: The Battle of Life and Death” was a box office success, total ticket sales were down compared to last year.
Directed by Chen Kaige, “The Volunteers 2” earned nearly $46 million over the weekend, capturing over a quarter of screen time. After one week, the film made $113 million. It could reach $199 million by the end of its run, according to projections. Despite this hit, the overall holiday box office showed weakness.
The crucial $108 million mark was reached on the third day of the seven-day holiday. Last year, it was achieved one day earlier. Total weekend ticket sales were $108 million, notably lower than the $168 million high from 2021. This drop reflects concerns about China’s economic slowdown affecting consumer spending.
Other popular films included the crime drama “Tiger Wolf Rabbit” in second place with $19 million.
