With an exclusive theatrical window, 'Venom: Let There Be Carnage' set a three-day opening-weekend record for the pandemic-era domestic box office.

Scathing critical reviews have had little bearing on film performance these days as movies with poor Rotten Tomatoes scores have found major success at the box office.Overseas, the long-delayed James Bond entry “No Time to Die” is on track for an impressive international opening of $119.1 million, exceeding expectations and becoming the first film since the COVID-19 crisis to launch at more than $100 million abroad without playing in China.

Securing second place this weekend at the North American box office is United Artists Releasing’s animated comedy “The Addams Family 2,” which collected $18 million. The Halloween-themed family flick came up about $10 million shy of its 2019 parent film’s opening-weekend performance. The shortfall could be attributed to its hybrid release in theaters and video-on-demand, as well as its dismal 27% Rotten Tomatoes score and wariness among parents of its unvaccinated under-12 demographic.

Occupying the third slot is “Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings,” ending a whopping four-week streak at No. 1 after the Marvel and Disney tentpole at the domestic box office last month. “Shang-Chi” raked in $6 million this weekend for a North American cumulative total of $206.1 million.
