Venom 3 Streaming Release Date: When Will ‘Venom: The Last Dance’ Be Available To Stream?

Venom on Plane the Last Dance

Venom 3 aka Venom: The Last Dance is now in theaters, and it’s, uh, not doing that well. Versus the $90 million opening weekend for Venom: Let There Be Carnage, The Last Dance took home $51 million opening weekend. So chances are, you, like most folks, probably are skipping Venom 3 in theaters. So, when will it be available to stream? What is the Venom 3 streaming release date?

To get this out of the way, Sony has not announced a streaming release date for Venom 3. However, we can make a fairly educated guess about when the movie will be available to rent and own, as well as when it might hit major streaming services like Netflix and Disney+, based on previous releases.

So with that in mind, if you are biding your time to watch Venom 3 at home… The good news is that you might now have that long to wait.

When Will Venom 3 aka Venom: The Last Dance Be Streaming? Here’s Our Educated Guess About The Venom 3 Streaming Release Date

The first thing to mention here is that Sony, which releases the Venom movies, is one of the rare studios that doesn’t own a streaming service. Meaning, unlike Warner Bros. Discovery movies which logically go to WBD’s Max streaming service, or Disney movies which go to Disney+, Sony has a bit of a wide playing field. Or at least they did until 2021 when they signed a deal with Netflix. That gives Netflix rights to the “first pay window” for their movies. This means usually about nine months after the initial theatrical release, and after the rental/ownership release on PVOD (Premium Video on Demand).

Also to note here, despite the Marvel label, characters, and a brief scene in Venom 3 that comes straight from the end credits of Spider-Man: No Way Home, this is not a Disney movie. It’s Sony.

That all said, let’s take a look at some good comparison points, because Sony is wildly all over the place with their release windows. It Ends With Us, which was released in theaters on August 9, did pretty well at the box office and hit PVOD on September 24, 46 days later. Harold and the Purple Crayon, which bombed in theaters, was released on August 2, and hit PVOD on August 27, aka 25 days later.

So, that’s no help, because Venom 3 is right in the middle there. It’s not a hit in the US, but it is doing okay internationally. Let’s take a look at two movies that might be the closest comparison points: Morbius, and Madame Web. Morbius was released on April 1, 2022, followed by a PVOD release on May 17, 2022, which is 46 days. Meanwhile, Madame Web hit theaters on February 14, 2024, and then PVOD on March 15, 2024, aka 30 days.

So what we’re getting here is that duds usually hit PVOD 30 days later; everything else about 46 days later. Digital releases usually hit on Tuesdays, so that would likely place it at either November 19 or November 26, if Sony considers it a bomb a la Harold or Madame Web. Or if they want to hold it, it could come out December 10, which is 46 days later.

Pure speculation here, but I’d bet we’ll get the movie hitting PVOD on November 26, which would place it available for home viewing right before the long Thanksgiving weekend. Regardless of whether it’s a bomb or not, that puts it in homes with people who want to veg out after eating too much turkey. And what better to veg out with than Venom 3?

When Will Venom 3 Be On Netflix?

As mentioned above, Netflix will get Venom 3 first in the pay-1 window, which is usually 120 days later. However, Sony movies have again ranged wildly on when they hit the streamer. For example, Morbius hit Netflix about five months after release, Dumb Money hit after four months, and Thanksgiving and Madame Web both arrived three months later.

Our two other examples, Harold and It Ends With Us have yet to be announced, so we can’t use them as data points. Let’s throw out another Sony movie, a relative hit on par with Venom 3‘s opening box office: Bad Boys: Ride or Die. That was in theaters on June 7, and then on Netflix on October 8 — four months later.

If Venom follows the Thanksgiving and Madame Web model, it could hit Netflix as early as late January. However, I think it’s more likely Sony and Netflix will stick with the 120-day model for this one, and we’ll get Venom 3 streaming on Netflix on February 22, 2025, or thereabouts.

When Will Venom 3 Be On Disney+?

Disney+ is in Sony’s pay 2 window, meaning once they’re done on Netflix — around 18 months later. To use an example, Morbius hit Disney+ on March 1, 2024, just under two years from when it hit theaters. Madame Web has yet to hit Disney+, and splitting the difference, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, which came out in theaters on June 2, 2023, also is not on Disney+.

So when will Venom: The Last Dance hit Disney+? 18 months after release puts it in April of 2026, which seems like the earliest we might see Venom 3 on the Disney service. Sorry, Eddie.
