2. ↑ 2.0 2.1 2.2 2.3 2.4 2.5 2.6 2.7 2.8 2.9 There are several factors indicating an October-November 2020 setting for the main events of *Venom: Let There Be Carnage*:

	* An email shown in the first film that indicates its prologue is set in 2018. Per the 6-month time jump in the movie and Andy Serkis saying a year and a half passes between films, the main events of *Venom: Let There Be Carnage* should be around 24 months after *Venom*'s prologue, meaning the latter film is most likely in 2020.
	* A magazine appearing in Mrs. Chen's store which is dated to 2020.
	* Serkis saying Shriek has spent 25 years at Ravencroft. As shown in the film, Barrison was sent to Ravencroft in 1996, meaning the present would ideally be in 2021. This is unlikely given the other evidence, so the best possible solution would be for Barrison to have been locked up in early 1996 and the main events of *Venom: Let There Be Carnage* having a late 2020 placement (a high 24 years that's close to 25).
	* Venom attending a party which is implied to be for either Halloween or Día de Muertos, which fall on October 31 and November 1-2 respectively each year. This means that the film would occur around October-November 2020, fitting well with it ideally being late into the year.
	* Eddie Brock's *The Daily Bugle* draft article being dated to "10.29.20", definitively setting this scene on October 29, 2020, which fits perfectly with the other evidence.
Given all the evidence, the main events of the film can firmly be taken to have elapsed from October 28, 2020 to November 3, 2020.
