That overseas success has pushed Sony’s foreign box office total for 2018 through Monday to $2.001 billion according to Deadline.
Thanks in large part to a massive $111 million opening weekend in China, Venom will cross $500 million at the international box office this week.
That is the first time Sony has crossed that threshold this early in the year since 2012, when it released a whole host of foreign successes including The Amazing Spider-Man, MIB 3 and Hotel Transylvania.
