Box office battle
'Venom 3' faces stiff competition from Diwali releases
Venom: The Last Dance, the last film in the franchise, will be up against fierce competition at the box office with a slew of Diwali releases. These include Singham Again, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, and Amaran, among others.
As per Pinkvilla, the film is likely to perform better in South India than North India.
