If its first three days in theaters are any indication, "Venom: Let There be Carnage" looks to find itself among that group as 2021's biggest earners.
Following is a summary of current entertainment news briefs.
Hermes hosts fashion show at Paris airport hangar
French luxury group Hermes International (HRMS.PA) shuttled the fashion press to an airport on the outskirts of Paris for its spring ready-to-wear catwalk show, sending fitted leather crop tops, silky dresses and relaxed trousers down a circular catwalk set up in a hangar. Robot cameras whizzed around the runway and dropped from the ceiling, filming the models as they marched past the audience seated on a platform at the center of the space.
Box Office: 'Venom' Sequel Feasts on Monstrous $90 Million Debut, Setting Pandemic Record
"Venom: Let There be Carnage" roared to $90.1 million in its debut, setting a new pandemic record. It's an impressive result, one that provides a lifeline to struggling movie theaters and (once again) proves Marvel's might at the box office. The much darker "Venom" follow-up comes from Sony Pictures and is separate from Disney's Marvel Cinematic Universe, which recently delivered "Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings" and "Black Widow" -- the two highest-grossing films of the year at the domestic box office. If its first three days in theaters are any indication, "Venom: Let There be Carnage" looks to find itself among that group as 2021's biggest earners. The film is playing only in cinemas as opposed to a hybrid release on-demand, a factor that should help ticket sales.
