“Venom: The Last Dance” takes top spot for second week at box office, as “Here” doesn't leave much of an impression

The Robert Zemeckis film starring Tom Hanks and Robin Wright earned $5 million in its debut weekend.

The box office is like a box of chocolates: you never know what's going to be a hit. Okay, maybe it's not like a box of chocolates, but when you reunite the director, writer, and stars of Forrest Gump, expectations run a bit high.

But first Venom: The Last Dance scored a second week at No. 1 during a slow box office season, pulling in another $26.1 million to add to its domestic haul of $90 million. Internationally, the third and final film in the Venom franchise did even better, earning $68.4 million this weekend, for a global cume of $317 million.

Conclave had a mere 20 percent drop from last week when it debuted in third, tying The Wild Robot, with $6.5 million. This weekend, the Ralph Fiennes-led Papal drama earned $5 million for fourth place, for a domestic gross of $15.2 million.

Fifth place went to Here, directed by Robert Zemeckis with a script by Eric Roth and Zemeckis, and and starring Tom Hanks and Robin Wright, the same team behind one of the most successful films of all time, Forrest Gump.

Based on the 2014 graphic novel by Richard McGuire, which was adapted from a comic strip McGuire created in 1989, Here follows multiple families across generations and the special place they all inhabit.

The idea of seeing Hanks and Wright together again, even in their digitally de-aged forms, was not enough to inspire audiences to flock to the flick, which earned $5 million in its opening weekend, for a fifth place bow.
