Reports that they were made for less than the first never made any sense. Still, a very good return WW Yes, and it's apparently on track to make $140M by the end of the weekend.

Strong chance Venom is some kind of neutered PG thing I think. was under the wrong impression that was a done deal. maybe the reactions to the mellow teaser will scare them into going the opposite way and get an R. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at Tele trying to get some play from 50 Shade fans. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am hoping it's an R. I'm hoping they go full dark horror with this movie and really try scaring adults. They could write any number of truly interesting villian/anti-hero stories around that. But I think there's concern they won't go that route and they're looking to keep it kid friendly enough to softly merge it back into the tom holland/spiderman storyline at some point. Of course one doesn't preclude the other. Clever planning could keep this initial movie really dark and horrific, and later installments could find ways to merge that with spiderman. But this is Sony we're talking about, they have no track record of cleverness. They do the most basic, obvious and bad choice possible. The teaser just doesn't tell us much one way or the other. And just to be clear, by 'track record' I mean the following: Most of their Spiderman efforts (with the exception of 1 and 2, only held together by the efforts of Sam Raimi, all this finally fell apart with part 3, which coincidentally also had a watered down version of Venom). Ghostbusters 2016 Tom Hardy gives this movie credibility, but I'm worried his credibility as an actor is about to get spent on a truly bad Venom film. There is some chance that this movie ends up in the ballpark of Halle Berry/Catwoman, but I really hope not.

Blaze Heatnix Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 I'm pretty sure that Venom is gonna be R rated. I think the director said that or someone from the crew confirmed that. I'm too lazy to give a link, but it's online. XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Re-edited, reshot, Sony gets cold feet? It's not like it hasn't happened before on many projects. The director and crew can be told and believe whatever they want. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAJK Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Holy fuck Peter Rabbit is doing absolutely insane numbers here for the matinee. Thought it would do our equivalent of a 40M opening after last night, but with Monday being a holiday in BC, I could see it going as high as 55-60 for the 3-day 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, but as far as we know, it'll be R rated. If things change, we'll be told in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still don't know that. All I see is speculation, rumor and expectations, and a teaser that doesn't establish that at all. If the teaser had firmly locked this movie into the R rating I'd believe it, but right now I think its 50/50. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barnack Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 (edited) I was going to say that MPAA rating are often contractually negotiated before the shoot, but maybe not for a franchise movie by Ruben Fleischer.

Noctis Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 The consistency of the Twilight sequels was massively impressive. BD2's run of $830m WW in 2D was a huge accomplishment. It was the 34th biggest film of all time worldwide when BD2 finished its run. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably if they want folks to empathize with Venom and make Carnage (assuming he is in the movie) more villanous they might make Venom fit a PG-13 mold while making Carnage R-rated so he seems more scary relatively. If both are in the film and the movie is not R-rated it's gonna be a joke. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
