to remember
Horrors flourish at the box office! after a week Horror 3 It was the turn of whoever created the surprise Smile 2 First to go, according to the first estimate of the American box office. The film grossed $23,000,000 in its opening weekend, slightly higher than the first part’s score. We remind you that in France the film is prohibited for children under 16 years of age.
In the 2nd place we find a family movie, in this case the animated movie Wild Robot. This weekend grossed $10,100,000 more, bringing the total to now over 100 million ($101,717,115) in the US.
Terrifier 3 is now the third. “If it’s down 51%, its $9.3M gross from an upped but still “modest” mix of 2,762 screens remains a nice surprise. Its $36.2 million total surpasses the total of last month’s Speak No Evil ($36.4 million), and while it may not reach Longs’ $74 million mark, this Terrifier could already be one of 2024’s – as one of the highest grossing horror films.“- our colleagues clarify Boxoffice Pro.
Outside the podium, the ranking remains almost unchanged. Beetlejuice Beetlejuice ranked 4th last week. Except we live in a time that ranked 5th.
Failure confirmed for Joker 2. A quasi-historical setback in a genre that proves true public rejection and already seems to point to the inability to make the Todd Phillips film’s production budget (estimated at $200 million) profitable on American soil alone, where it has grossed only $56 million to date. Five years after breaking several records with the first joker.
