Venom 2 Moves Another Week
Although Sony Pictures just rescheduled it two weeks ago, the studio has now bumped the release date for Venom: Let There Be Carnage again, according to Variety. However, this time the delay is just one week, with the new release date being moved to September 24. This is reportedly to give the film some space between other major studio releases. However, we'd still point out that the movie is now two weeks ahead of Sony's other Spidey-spinoff, Morbius, which we're guessing might have to move as well.
