Galagala 4,607 Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 Sony's Venom no longer has any major box office competition in October. The studio has bet the house on Venom, which is intended to launch a new shared universe featuring Spider-Man secondary characters. If Venom proves to be a box office success, then viewers can expect other spinoffs such as Morbius, Silver & Black, and Silk. If it doesn't perform well, then Sony's plans could potentially come crashing down. With so much riding on one film, the studio understandably chose a release date with as little competition as possible (no easy task in a year increasingly packed with big-budget tentpoles). Luckily for Venom, however, what little competition there was seems to be slipping away. The most direct competition was Andy Serkis' Mowgli, a "faithful" adaptation of Rudyard Kipling's Jungle Book. Serkis's pitch is darker than Disney's films, and has a great cast - including the likes of Benedict Cumberbatch, Cate Blanchett, and Christian Bale. Unfortunately, it has only been two-and-a-half years since Jon Favreau's The Jungle Book took the world by storm. As a result, Mowgli had long been expected to underperform, and Warner Bros. has taken the unusual step of pulling it from theaters outright. Instead, Mowgli will release straight on to Netflix. For Warner Bros., it avoids the gamble of an expensive theatrical release for a movie with poor prospects, and means they're able to focus marketing on A Star is Born, Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald, and Aquaman. Why did WarnerBros choose that week to release ASIB ? Sure.We don't need to worry about the box office but I still want it to be a commercial success.

LDGA 1,260 Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 Venom will get the top spot, that is obvious, ASIB is not a competence for this movie, they are not even the same genre and not even the same target audience. If ASIB gets 20+ million in the first weekend, we can consider it a success. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
