Venom: Let There Be Carnage delayed to October 2021

As previously reported, Sony Pictures has delayed the release date for Venom: Let There Be Carnage from its planned September 24 premiere to October 15, 2021. Although it is worth noting that Sony also considered moving the release date back to January 2022. 

The reason behind these delays is attributed to the continued lack of a box office recovery which has been most evident recently with Black Widow failing to break-even at the box office. With Shang-Chi still planned for a September release date at the current time, the box office of that film could determine if more big budget films are pushed back even further with the most notable being Eternals and Spider-man: No Way Home which I personally feel will be pushed back for a summer 2022 release.
