2024 Box Office – Joker 2 Opening Weekend DISASTER $39 $40 million
Of the two murderous clowns battling it out at the box office, one may have come out on top. Damien Leone’s Terrifier 3 pulled in an impressive haul in Thursday’s previews and is expected to knock Joker: Folie à Deux off the top spot.
The slasher threequel, which reportedly cost less than $5 million to make, has grossed a total of $2.6 million in previews on Thursday. While it's too early to say how well the film will do in the coming weeks, it's predicted to gross more in its second week.
According to Deadline, Terrifier 3 could also surpass Joker: Folie à Deux, starring Lady Gaga and Joaquin Phoenix, at the box office; Joker 2 grossed $44.55 million in its first week, including $1.1 million on Thursday.
