In another quiet weekend for the box office, Sony/Columbia's "Venom: The Last Dance" is cruising to a third No. 1 weekend with approximately $15 million grossed, topping newcomers "Heretic" from A24 and "The Best Christmas Pageant Ever" from Lionsgate and Kingdom Story Company.

"Venom: The Last Dance" may threepeat at the domestic box office despite the presence of two new nationwide releases.

At this point in time, the spoils of a slow weekend are going to Sony’s Venom: The Last Dance which is looking at a No. 1 take around $14M for the 3-day after a $3.6M Friday at 3,905 sites. That’s the first time ever that a Venom movie has held the top spot

The major Hollywood studios skirted this weekend and held off on new releases, a decision that likely hedged against an uncertain national mood following the presidential election. Their absence is others’ gain though,

Heretic, the A24 R-rated horror movie from A Quiet Place scribes Scott Beck and Bryan Woods, began its journey this weekend with $1.2M in previews last night that began at 7PM. That figure doesn’t include the Salt Lake City sneaks that recently occurred.

Venom: The Last Dance takes No. 1 at the domestic box office for the third time, while Heretic and The Best Christmas Pageant Ever battle for No. 2.
