Sony's most profitable franchise is Spiderman who is pg-13. They'll push it as hard as they can but they will not do an R rating if they want to do a Spiderman crossover and we all know they do. But Sony's Spider-verse and the MCU are supposedly connected (hence why they're open to Tom Holland's Spidey appearing in Venom and vice versa), so it's a moot point. The fact is, Bob Iger IS open to R-rated characters appearing in the MCU if the script calls for it, Carnage is another such character who's movie they would have to make rated R to have it work. Imagine a Hannibal Lecter who doesn't eat people, Deadpool without profanity or Punisher without guns, that's pretty much what a PG-13 Carnage is without all the maiming and ripping to shreds. A Carnage that isn't violent as **** is Carnage In Name Only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many times have we seen studios gore down an R-Rated property to a PG-13 rating for $? https://www.boxofficemojo.com/alltime/domestic/mpaa.htm (Using this as a source for R rated movies) Sony has 2 Rated movies since 1997 in the top 25 box office. One is fairly recent and while venom would do it fairly well, sony's history suggests it'll go PG-13 especially if they go the spiderman route.

Mortal Kombat is the most blatant example of "kidifying" a movie that has no business being rated anything but an R rating. I get why they did it, but it just doesn't work... And it's been proven time and time again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're still leaning into it (I mean venom basically ate a dude in the trailer) so it's not a super dumbed down version but they're not gonna show the gore that would get them an R rating. They're just gonna cut a lot of the gore, there won't be much blood and that will be that. It sucks but it's probably what Marvel/Sony agreed to for Spiderman to show up in Venom. I think a PG-13 rating can work for Venom (You can get away with a lot if you're smart about it) but it's going to be hard to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacReady Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 Lol. It's not going to work as a PG-13 movie. The movie is going to bomb. If Sony had just tried making a Venom movie that would please fans of Venom, it probably would have been a hit and allow them to kick off an anti-hero universe. They didn't try to do that. They tried to make an action comedy buddy movie (Brock buddying with Venom) that's also PG-13. Other than Venom's voice and the way Venom looks, which I totally get, I don't see anything remotely exciting about this movie. I think Venom fans are too excited about how good Venom looks and sounds while neglecting that the movie looks like trash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

August4th Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 The 12/13 yr old me would be all over this. I think this might do a solid job at the Box office. it's one of the most anticipated fall films according to Fandango, and now it has a Eminem single attach to it.
