It’s currently at $822.5 million. Just need 60 million more to catch up to it.
This is the most surprising success since Jumanji: Welcome To The Jungle, which was also by Sony.

I remember that SM:H was pulled early from the cinemas. It was still in the top 10 when it was removed. I wondered why that was. I seem to recall that the home media release was very soon after that, like a week or two.

Yes, it's quite impressive. As @poes mentioned it's even surpassed Wonder Woman at this point.

What do you guys think the main draw is?
Is the movie that good? Is it because it didn't have stiff competition? Maybe it's just Tom Hardy?

Wouldn’t Halloween count? $252-3m World Wide with only $94m coming internationally says no, domestically sure, which may have been a factor in Venom not doing better stateside, but globally Halloween didn't do much to Venom.

I liked Venom more than I though I would; TheThing meets Fight Club in a PG-13 arena. Spiderman was a bore though. Still surprising.

Good its a way better movie than spiderkiddie homecoming One has its titular character acts like a moron at a fancy restaurant and jumps into a tank of lobsters and bites their heads off, and later "makes out" with his attached alien partner. The other has its titular character makes a mature and bold decision to turn down to join The Avengers because of his loyalty to his community. So if anything, Venom qualifies more as "kiddie" than Homecoming does. And since when do you care about box office? You said it doesn't matter before. P.S. also explain how Venom is better than Wonder Woman, that will sure make DC-Fan happy...

So if anything, Venom qualifies more as "kiddie" than Homecoming does. And since when do you care about box office? You said it doesn't matter before. P.S. also explain how Venom is better than Wonder Woman, that will sure make DC-Fan happy... I would argue Spidey doesn't turn down being an Avenger for his community, I think it plays into an unsung aspect of the film which relates to adolescence, Peter is a teen, he's not a child but not yet an adult, as a person, as Spidey he is in a similar spot, he's not a civilian but he also isn't an Avenger, he's in the middle, allowed to do more than he used to but still not allowed to do everything he wants, and like a teenager pushes their boundaries so does Peter as a hero, and in the end Peter is offered the chance to move on as both a hero and a person, become an adult and an Avenger, Peter chooses not to rush to stay a teenager and stay the Spider-Man he is.
And a key thing for Peter through out is his relationship with Aunt May he hides who he is from her as to not worry her, leaving her behind is why he turns down the Avengers spot, it's a simple message in the film to appreciate the things you have and don't spite them for the things you want, also ties in with Vulture he made enough money over the years to be comfortable but he wants more and more, in the end his greed cost him everything.
Then the obvious believe in yourself not in your things message of the movie where Peter only succeeds as a hero when he is stripped of his suit and has to rely on his own instinct and skills.
I mean isnt one of the end messages to Venom is it's ok to lie to the women you love who is your ex and fake being in mourning if it'll help you trick her into getting back together with you?
That's a wonderful note to leave kids with.

I care if a good movies make money. You hate non mcu movie

I care if a good movies make money. You hate non mcu movie Because Venom sure didn't cause any trouble - collateral damage and fatality of human beings and animals. Oh wait, he did. And that didn't stop Spider-Man from helping others and saving the day. He used his own suit and went on his own instead of sticking to Stark's orders. Did you not watch the movie? Doesn't sound like it... Too bad Venom is not really that good of a movie, average at best in terms of quality. And even a lot of people who enjoyed it are encouraging others to go in to see it with fairly low expectations - not the strongest indication that its a high quality product, that's more akin to guilty pleasure fare. As in, no way would any person seriously defend it or place it amongst their favorites of the year...As the definition of it goes. Heck, you can't even defend it, I've listed its silliness but you can't even argue against it. Nope, like plenty of non marvel movies, Venom just happens to be not amongst them, better than Howard The Duck and both Ghost Riders though. You also didn't explain why Venom is better than Wonder Woman, NPCnexus...

Ragnarok and GOTG are leagues better than Venom and well deserving of their praise. Even Antman is better than Venom. Don't see the issue here.
