Independent horror film “Terrifier 3” topped the North American box office over the weekend, beating The movie “Joker: Shared Madness” (Joker: Folie à deux), which was in the lead last week, according to estimates by the specialized company “Experior Relations”.
“Horrifying 3,” produced by the independent studios “Cineverse” and “Aiken Events,” achieved revenues of $18.2 million in Canada and the United States, marking a strong start for the third film in the independent horror series. French Entertainment Research analyst David A. Gross commented: This breakthrough is “exceptional.”
In this part, the scary clown Art returns to spread terror as the Christmas holidays approach. Due to its many violent scenes, the film was banned for those under the age of 18 in France, where it also saw great success in cinemas.
As for second place, the animated science fiction film “The Wild Robot,” produced by “DreamWorks,” maintained its ranking, achieving $13.4 million. The film centers on the robot Rose, voiced by Oscar-winning actress Lupita Nyong'o, who finds himself on an uninhabited island after a hurricane, and makes friends with jungle animals in order to survive.
For its part, “Joker: Shared Madness” fell to third place, as it achieved revenues of only $7.1 million, a decrease of 80% from the previous week, after recording $40 million in its first weekend. This is a very large decrease for a film with a budget of up to $200 million.
