Sales are not indicative of quality. It's true for films just as much as videogames.

While true as LoD said...

These people are definitely in the business for money making, not kind words. But they definitely want to make a profit moreover be concerned if everyone loved the movie.

In the movie 'business' a badly reviewed movie with good sales & that makes a profit is usually more likely to get a sequel than a well reviewed movie with poor sales that has made a loss. Unfortunately its usually sales not quality that determine the overall success of a movie in the eyes of the movie executives.

Sharknado didnt get 6 movies based on its reviews or oscar worthy performances.

Sad but true, we live in a world were Sharknado gets 6 sequels but not a single Dredd sequel, even though everyone loves Dredd.

We also live in a world where I have no idea what Sharknado is.

And this is a movie that apparently has 6 sequels.

Venom turned out to be a fantastic movie. I was not an avid Venom reader, fan, or whatever. I only know hm as a villain of Spiderman, and that's just about it. The film changes some things about the comics, and that's perfectly fine with me. I won't spoil it for you, but the film has everything in it. Even comedy. The film shows off how Tom Hardy can run with any kind of script. It's like... just give Hardy a script, and let him get loose. That's what this film was. There's a cliffhanger ending, and the filmmakers already greenlit Venom to have 2 more films.

Let Tom Hardy go loose in the next two films, Marvel. Let him. It's working.

be loyal to what matters

Not looking to bash the movie as i haven't seen it yet.

I just thought this was an interesting way to solve the potential villain problem Venom and the Sony-verse films are gonna run into.

WHAT AM I LOOKING AT!? Venom is the seventh highest grossing movie of 2018 which is more than Ant-Man&The Wasp, making 673 million on the box office. Oh my God.... now there's definitely going to be a sequel. This means, Far From Home may be the last good Spiderman movie before Sony ruins it again.

Sorry, bub, it's already been greenlit. You're late to the party. :D

Sony ain't going to ruin this, not with Tom Hardy in there. There's little that Sony can do with this franchise.

I still have not seen this movie and I started the thread (Funny how people are commenting but I'm not getting the notifications), not from lack of trying too. My roommate and I kept checking the theater near us, which as I told LoD, is hella slow getting movies, plus it only screens like one movie over the course of a week.
We kept checking for Venom and Halloween, finally got to see Halloween, but almost seems like they skipped Venom. From what I gather though, one thing people do say is good about the movie is Tom Hardy, and the relationship between Eddie and the symbiote. Which honestly may make it enough to be a guilty pleasure movie for me at least. Either way, it's a comic book movie, so I'll be getting the blu ray for collection purposes.....Only superhero movies I refuse to do that for are the Fantastic Four movies.

You better not be skippin' The Dark Knight Rises. Tom Hardy did the Bane character perfectly in there, not exactly like the comics, but an interpretation of Bane. Tom Hardy as Eddie is as good as Bane.

Well no, I've seen The Dark Knight Rises. I got the trilogy on blu ray.

I saw Venom the weekend it came out. I thought it was good and not the disaster certain critics were claiming it was going to be. Defintely funny and entertaining. When the sequels do come out, and they will, just let Hardy do his thing.
