Mumbai, October 25 - Sony Pictures' superhero movie Venom: The Last Dance has taken a good start at the Indian box office.

It scored approximately 5.60 crores gross ($665K) on all versions on its first day. ## This is the best start for a Venom movie in India, beating the opening of the first Venom which minted approximately 5.25 crores gross collection in 2018. The second film, Venom: Let There Be Carnage was released during the Covid-19 pandemic and minted approximately 3.50+ crores gross opening. ## The initial word of mouth for Venom 3 seems to be mixed which has been the case with the previous films in the franchise as well. The holiday season and the absence of a major release for a week should help the biz to get a boost which remains to see. ## Stay tuned...

'Singham Again' and 'Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3' Theatrical Runtimes Locked

Mumbai, October 21 - With less than 2 weeks left for the much-anticipated box office clash of the year between Ajay Devgn-fronted Singham Again and Kartik Aaryan's Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, the makers are set to submit the films for the censor clearance and are expected to get this done in a day or two. ## Meanwhile, as the makers gear up to get the censor formalities done, the theatrical runtime of both films has been released and it is pretty similar for both of them. According to the reports, Singham Again makers submitted the film to the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) a few days ago with a runtime of 2 hours and 30 minutes (150 minutes). ## The final length of the Singham 3 depends on the cuts or additions asked by the CBFC but the reports say it will be more or less the same as mentioned above. Such runtimes are considered perfect for mass entertainers and can give a significant advantage in case of a clash with other movies in securing more shows, however, it is not going to be a major difference this time. ## According to Pinkvilla, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 is in the final leg of post-production and the makers are set to submit it to the censor in a day or two. It is said that the rough cut of BB3 is 2 hours and 39 minutes long (159 minutes), including the start and end credits, similar to the first Bhool Bhulaiyaa (2007), starring Akshay Kumar which was also 159 minutes long. ## Excluding the credit portion, the final runtime of BB3 is expected to be close to Singham Again, which means, no advantage for either of the movie as far as shows are concerned. It will be the battle of securing the maximum number of screens for both movies which are hugely-anticipated and expected to set the box office on fire. ## Both, Singham Again and Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 are scheduled to hit the big screens on November 1, on the occasion of Diwali. ## Stay tuned...
