Sony’s Universe of Marvel Characters (SUMC) lives! Just...don’t expect Kevin Feige or Disney to allow Tom Hardy’s Venom anywhere near the MCU.

10 days to blow pass it's break even mark, not to bad. And looks like the trend of Superhero Movies continues. Weekend to Weekend always seems it's 50-55% drop, with some notable outliers in the past.

It was perfectly serviceable on it's own. A few moments around the midway mark was actually really good. Idk Venom needs the corrupted spider logo on his suit and his black fake webbing. Without the logo/symbol he is one of many Symbiotes you really can't tell apart. Yeah that's right I said that all black aliens look alike.

The weekend drop was surprisingly light. It's not far behind The Amazing Spider-man 2 at the same point in time.

With how little it cost to make they would've been ecstatic for $530 - $ 555m. I know Sony is probably chomping at the bit to fast track a sequel or movie that ties into Venom at the very least. I hope the don't rush anything.

I actually said to my brother haven't we done the moon landing to death. Then we started to think movies that did the moonlanding. And we didn't come up with much. There has been a decent amount of NASA dramas, but I couldn't come up with a specific Apollo 11 film. Other than Apollo 11 tv movie back in the day. Then we had From earth to the moon. Other than those I couldn't think of any. It just seems like we've done NASA and The Apollo Missions to death.

Its not a complete slam dunk just yet. The movie could peter out at the box office from here on out...
Still, this is my hope... They believe in the franchise potential enough to make a sequel, they make a much better movie than this one (which wont be hard), and the franchise takes off!
The worst case scenario is what happened with Amazing Spider-Man 2. They go for it and make a worse movie than the first one. Franchise dies. DOH!
But if that happens, maybe they'll give Venom to MCU too! LOL!
It would be pretty difficult to make a worse movie than this. Sony would probably need to pass the rights over to WB/DC if they desperately wanted to achieve that.
Even if the BO peters out (which it probably will), Venom is still going to make >$300 million worldwide which means it is well in profit. Sony will make a sequel. Oy vey. Do you all see how easily it comes back to DC? They just cant help themselves...

As drama films and single missions, bar the Apollo 13 accident, they do not work that well because you know what happens and the astronauts are mostly inactive and do not shoot with ray guns fighting aliens.

That didn't particularly go down well for others, and I don't blame them. Hate Trump all you want, but putting that Flag on the moon is more than just representing America. We also beat the Soviets in the space race, which some seem to have forgotten.

If Gosling had kept his mouth shut, it may have done better.

The controversy over that film is stupid.

I've seen quite a lot of documentaries on Apollo 11 . I was just surprised at the lack of fictionalize dramas based on it. Not sexy enough I suppose. I wonder how much they had to overtly dramatize the events to make this movie. I know there was natural tension in the taking off, landing and return home. The rest of the time it would be like watching a Soccer Mom doing the school run and the pick up line in a van in 0-G. That story isn't good enough to make multiple films out of, now that I think about it. We all know what Hollywood does to "based on actual vents" movies.." At the very least they exaggerate what happened. At the very worst the film makers add scenes or plot points using Creative Licence. The tension goes away when you know they return home safely. It's like the opposite of Titanic, everyone knows they make it home alive.. Instead they focus on the family drama part of the story. They can ratchet up the struggle/worry of his family. Honestly, who knows exactly what happens between a husband and wife when they are a lone. The trailers makes me think this is the tact they are running with. I am sure they made the visuals stunning and at angles they never got in real life. I don't think that's enough to carry multiple movies out of . Especially when you can see the actual landing any time you want. Hell if you leave your tv on The Science Channel or Discovery for 24 hrs you'll catch one. I don't think, Hollywood could get away with adding a love triangle subplot between the 3 like they did in Titanic. I can see it now. Michael Collins, in the Command Module, goes in a blind rage when he sees this: on a camera feed pointed at The Lunar Module's view port. I know the Command and Lunar Modules didn't have live feeds, cameras, and monitors. I don't think people would care about that bit of anachronism. I don't know. Now that I think about it, maybe they could get away with adding it. Lunar low gravity sex scene would be kinda hot. I wonder how the physics of that would work. I saw a documentary on a couple testing a suit made to help with sex on the Vomit Comet. Also out of Buzz and Neil who do you think would be the bottom? I think Neil would be.

I won't answer that. All I know History's The Universe season 3 has an episode called Sex in Space awkwardly exploring the concept - I never watched it fully despite having all seasons on BR. But I doubt it will give you the answers you seek, especially the Neil or Buzz dilemma.

They are wearing the suits in this picture...
