Box Office: Joker 2 Records One Of The Worst Week 2 Drops In History, Terrifier 3 Scares DC Movie Away From No. 1
This article covers a developing story. Continue to check back with us as we will be adding more information as it becomes available.
Per Deadline, as of Saturday morning, Terrifier 3 is projected to take the No. 1 slot at the domestic box office over Joker: Folie à Deux with a 3-day opening weekend gross between $17 and $18 million, which outgrosses the entire $15.7 million worldwide theatrical run of Terrifier 2 in a single weekend. Meanwhile, Joker is cratering, currently projected to take in a second weekend gross between $6.7 and $7 million. This represents a drop between 81.4% and 82.2% from its already grim opening weekend gross of $37.7 million.
Even at the lower end of its projected drop, Joker: Folie à Deux is set to have the worst week 2 drop of any movie featuring a DC character as well as the worst of the entire superhero genre across the board. At the higher end of projections, an 82.2% drop would tie the movie with Waitress: The Musical for the 11th worst domestic drop of all time. This would place it on the chart above the notorious 2003 flop Gigli, which only had an 81.9% drop in its second weekend.
