The two leading titles still have three weeks to make their latest marketing push.
Talk about a good harvest in October.
Director Ruben Fleischer & # 39; s Venom is heading to a powerful start at over $ 65 million at the North American box office, while Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga A star is born seeks to sing between $ 28 and $ 30 million, according to those who have access to preliminary preliminary investigations.
Both films open in North America on October 5th. Tracking could easily escalate as both films make their latest marketing push.
Venom is ready to eclipse Alfonso Cuaron's $ 55.8 million debut Gravity (2013) to clinch the best opening of October all the time, uncorrected for inflation. Other major openings in October include The Martian ($ 54.3 million) and Paranormal Activity 3 ($ 52.6), respectively.
Sony insiders are more cautious in offering a national launch of $ 55 million to $ 60 million for Venom. Warner Bros. is also more conservative in projecting a $ 25 million debut for A star is born.
Venom – which triggers the expansion of Sony's Marvel character universe, beyond Spider-Man. Hardy also embodies Eddie Brock, the human host taken over by Venom, a foreign Symbiot who can merge with others.
The production of the super hero cost $ 100 million net and was partly financed by the Chinese company Tencent.
While Venom will go after the fanboys, Warner Bros is positioning itself A star is born as a choice for adults.
Marking Cooper's first feature film, the romantic drama with critically acclaimed music debuted at the Venice International Film Festival for enthusiastic reviews before a stop at the Toronto International Film Festival, where he drew the first Oscar successes.
A star is born – about a country music star who falls in love with a young woman to fame – is the third remake of the original 1937 film of the same name, which was adapted in 1954 and then in 1976 with Barbra Streisand and Kris Kristofferson.
