'Venom' outpaces top Marvel pre-ticket sales, #3 after 'Infinity War' and 'Black Panther'

Ruben Fleischer-directed 'Venom' has outpaced 'Ant-Man and the Wasp' and the upcoming 'Guardians of the Galaxy 2', and 'Spider-Man: Homecoming', in terms of advanced ticket sales.

"The world has enough superheroes." And Tom Hardy-starring Sony-Marvel movie 'Venom' hardly qualifies as one. Dark, twisted, brutal and filled with some jarring CGI, the latest offering from Sony Pictures is most certainly not a run-of-the-mill comic book adaptation, rather a take on the ever-popular sub-genre of the anti-superhero section. 

 

Hence when early reactions from critics and movie-goers dropped in, it wasn't much of a surprise that most feedback ranged from lukewarm to negative. Despite the mixed-bag of reactions that 'Venom' has been garnering following the initial premiere, however, pre-ticket sales for the movie has painted a very different picture.
