12 Most Insane Things Happening In Movies & TV Right Now (Nov 23rd)

9. Venom's About To Make $800m

Hey everyone, remember when Venom was first reviewed and the critics were falling over themselves to say it was a massive turkey and absolutely terrible and what on Earth was Tom Hardy doing?

Well, he was making a movie that has grossed almost $800m around the world and which is still picking up money thanks to its late Chinese release. If it takes $40M more, it'll be the highest-grossing Spider-Man film ever to go along with its gong for most watched Spider-Man movie trailer ever.

This is literally a film in which Tom Hardy tells someone he will bite their limbs off and let them roll around like a turd on the wind. Firstly, turds don't float in the wind unless you eat a lot of polystyrene and secondly, that might be legitimately the worst line in any movie ever. It was in the trailer and yet the film has STILL TAKEN EIGHT HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS. Call everything off.

Also, that box office result is literally going to lead to a film about turds in the wind, isn't it?
