'Venom 3' Dominates Box Office as 'Heretic' Surprises with Strong Debut
"Venom 3" topped the domestic box office during a quiet post-election weekend, earning $16.2 million, while also leading overseas with a global total of $394.2 million. The lack of major releases allowed it to maintain its position, as studios avoided the weekend due to high ad rates and potential unrest. "Red One" launched internationally, earning $26.6 million, while "Best Christmas Pageant Ever" and "Heretic" competed closely for second place domestically. Other notable films included "The Wild Robot" and "Smile 2."
