Box Office: ‘Venom 3’ Leads Quiet Frame as Major Studios Abandon Post-Election Weekend
This year, the major Hollywood studios had anticipated that the weekend following November 8th would be unusually tranquil due to their decision to postpone releasing large-scale event films. The primary reasons for this were high advertising costs and concerns about potential civil unrest if Donald Trump, the Republican candidate, did not win. The images of the attack on the U.S. Capitol following Al Gore’s loss in 2000 have not been easily forgotten, contributing to these worries. However, it was Trump who ended up defeating his Democratic opponent, Kamala Harris.
