So far, the release date of various movies have changed so much these past two years that it's become customary not to expect a film to premiere on a specific date unless we're just a few days or weeks away. However, while most delays push back the launch of a movie, Sony has decided to do something quite rare. Sony has now decided to make Venom: Let There Be Carnage available earlier by at least two weeks.
Venom: Let There Be Carnage will premiere on October 1
Venom: Let There Be Carnage is the highly anticipated sequel to 2018's Venom. The Tom Hardy-led film pulled in $856 million against an estimated $110 million budget, which all but guaranteed that a sequel was coming. Unfortunately, that sequel has had the tough luck of premiering during the COVID-19 pandemic. Because of the uncertainty caused by this global issue, Sony has had to play around with the premiere date of Venom: Let There Be Carnage more than a couple of times.
As a matter of fact, there were rumors of Sony deciding to push back Venom: Let There Be Carnage to 2022. Now, after "confirming" that the Venom sequel will drop on October 15, 2021, Sony has decided to release the upcoming sequel earlier.
