Venom: The Last Dance was recently released and has had moderate success with both audiences and critics, especially in Asian markets.

The movie was originally set to premiere on November 8 but was moved up to October 25 to avoid clashing with the presidential election chaos. As the event has the tendency to accidentally influence the box office and sometimes, the movies unintentionally can be perceived as influencing votes.

This was a smart decision, but despite the chaos, more and more people are turning to movies as a way to escape the stress of the election. According to the latest data, Donald Trump is likely to return to the White House, but many people are finding comfort and a break from the uncertainty by watching films.

At least that’s what a report from Variety says. On Election Day, many people, like Hana Slevin in New York, are going to the movies to escape the stress of the election. They’re picking films like Venom: The Last Dance or Juror #2 to take a break from all the news and election updates.

The election is a stressful and emotional time, so cinemas offer a nice break, letting people relax and enjoy movies instead of worrying about the political chaos.

“I wanted to get my mind off the election,” Chris Griggs, a 58-year-old comedian from New York, shared his thoughts after watching ‘Juror #2. Chris Griggs chose to watch Clint Eastwood’s legal thriller, feeling it was fitting due to its focus on the justice system. He values movies as a way to escape reality, though in this case, the film only offered a brief break from the ongoing election stress.

Danny Casillas, a 58-year-old from Los Angeles, chose to watch Venom: The Last Dance on Election Day, hoping it would make him feel better. He thought the election results wouldn’t be decided on Tuesday, so he decided to take a break from the political tension and enjoy a movie.

As much as I’m worried for our future as a country, I’m going to go disappear for two hours. Then, I’ll look at the polls on the east coast.

Movies are a great way to escape from reality, which is why many fans get upset when political themes are forced into them. This happens in all kinds of movies, from fiction to rom-coms to superhero films. But you could also say that superhero movies have always had some political themes.
