Movie Monday: ‘Venom: The Last Dance’ Keeps Twirling, Best TV Shows to Binge Watch

It wasn’t a particularly exciting weekend at the box office. Venom: The Last Dance managed to keep its No. 1 spot. But the alien parasite took home an estimated $16.2 million in its third weekend theaters. But with no strong new challengers in theaters, even that relatively low number was good enough for the win.

Running neck and neck for second and third place, respectively, were The Best Christmas Pageant Ever and Heretic, earning roughly $11 million apiece. The former is based on the beloved children’s book by Barbara Robinson and has a nice message about the true meaning of Christmas. The latter is much as its name suggests: a psychological thriller questioning every aspect of faith and seemingly mocking those who would choose to believe in God.

The Wild Robot came in fourth with about $6.6 million, bringing the touching family film’s domestic earnings to $130 million and its global tally just shy of $300 million.

In fifth place—and proving that it doesn’t have to be October for people to get their scare on—was Smile 2, with an estimated sum of $5 million.

Other box office newcomers landed a bit further down the list: Elevation and Overlord: The Sacred Kingdom each earned about $1.1 million to take 11^th and 12^th place. And Weekend in Taipei, which had a very limited theatrical release, earned just $150,000 to land in 19^th.
