Well, That Was Quick! Venom Now Available for Home Viewing

Well, That Was Quick! Venom Now Available for Home Viewing Venom seemed like a crazy idea for a stand-alone superhero film, but it’s doing quite well.

Venom seemed like a crazy idea for a stand-alone superhero film, but it’s doing quite well. It’s a top 10 movie in domestic take for 2018, and it shows that Sony/Columbia doesn’t have to team up with Marvel Studios (as they did for Spider-Man: Homecoming) to make an enjoyable Spider-Verse movie.

What surprised me was that it became available for digital rental last week and comes out on Blu-ray and DVD tomorrow, December 18. This is unusual because its theatrical release date was October 8, and there used to be at least a three-month window to avoid theater owners getting mad about competition. Clearly we’re living in new and unusual times.

The filmmakers are willing to play with that idea, with this “romantic comedy” style release trailer:

Certainly, a lot of people have taken to it as an exciting movie ride that stands alone, without having to buy into an entire universe of superheroes.
