The world may have enough superheroes, but audiences can't seem to get enough of comic book movies. Venom, Sony's new film about the popular Spider-Man villain that cuts Spider-Man out of the picture entirely, blew away expectations this weekend by grossing $80 million in the U.S, per Box Office Mojo. This is quite easily the biggest October opening weekend ever; the previous record-holder was 2013's Gravity, which opened to $55 million. With this showing, Venom far surpassed the Friday estimates that had put it closer to $60 million, Deadline reported at the time.
