Box Office: ‘Terrifier 3’ is No. 1 Clown as ‘Joker 2’ Suffers Record Fall and ‘Apprentice’ Gets Fired by: The Hollywood Reporter
Terrifier 3 isn’t clowning around. The slasher pic is easily winning a weekend of curiosity and carnage at the domestic box office, where Joker: Folie à Deux is suffering the worst decline in history for a comic book movie and one of the biggest among any film.
Cineverse and Icon Events’ Terrifier threequel opened ahead of expectations for Chris McGurk’s new venture with an estimated $18.2 million from 1,988 theaters.
The next closest film is The Wild Robot, which continues to shine for DreamWorks Animation and Universal. Now in its third weekend, the family pic is on course to earn another $13.4 million from 3,854 cinemas for a domestic cume of $83.7 million. It also pulled in another $24 million overseas for a global haul of $148.5 million.
