Well, to be fair, Venom was very popular. It's not like DC making a movie about Egghead or another minor villain (to name another property on the other side). Venom is one of the more popular characters. And his origin story doesn't even need to be told. I'm sure 90% of comic geeks know about the symbiote. They could even tell it in flashbacks with some flashes of Spider-Man in a dream sequence if they want to include Spidey.
