The release date getting moved from October 2, 2020 to June 5, 2021 comes about as a result of the coronavirus shutting down filming and causing massive delays in the industry as just about every movie has seen its release date delayed.
Sony also recently announced a slew of release dates for Morbius, Ghostbusters 3, Uncharted and more.
Warner Bros. and Disney and Marvel have recently released new release date schedules.
The first Venom movie from 2018 brought in over $856 million worldwide.
