Los Angeles: Sony's "Venom: the Last Dance," extended its streak atop the North American box office with an estimated haul of $16.2 million on a notably slow weekend, industry watcher Exhibitor Relations reported Sunday.
The horror threequel, with the popular Tom Hardy in the titular role, benefited from the big studios' decision to avoid releasing major films on a weekend when some feared the US election might spark chaos.
"Venom" has now taken in $114.8 million domestically and $279 million internationally in its three weeks out.
Lionsgate's comedy-drama "The Best Christmas Pageant Ever" meantime managed a surprise second-place showing at $11.1 million, not a bad start for a film shot on a $10 million shoestring.
