The latest sensation to hit the big screens is Terrifier 3, a horror film that has taken the world by storm. Reports claim that it is on its way to becoming the highest-grossing unrated film in the US. The movie, which follows the murderous Art the Clown on a festive rampage, has left audiences both horrified and impressed with its gory and vomit-inducing scenes. It has already faced a ban in France and caused 10 people to walk out during its UK premiere.
Despite the initial shock and controversy, Terrifier 3 has not failed to draw in the crowds. In fact, it has surpassed the $25 million mark at the box office and has already earned a global gross of $28 million in just one week since its release. This is an incredible feat considering its relatively small budget of only two million dollars.
What's even more impressive is that it not only topped the box office charts in the US, but it also dethroned one of the most highly-anticipated sequels of the year, Joker: Folie a Deux. Director Damien Leone took to Instagram to celebrate the film's success and even posed the question of whether it could make history as the highest-grossing unrated film of all time. Fans have been showering the film with praise and it's clear that Terrifier 3 has certainly made an impact.
What's even more remarkable is that the film's distributor, Chris McGurk, confirmed that they only spent $500k on marketing the film. This is a fraction of the amount usually spent on promoting a movie of this scale. However, it seems that the word-of-mouth buzz and the dedicated fanbase have been more than enough to propel Terrifier 3 to success.
Compared to other horror films released this year, Terrifier 3 is holding its own and has already broken into the top 10 highest-grossing films. It is even expected to overtake big-budget blockbusters such as Beetlejuice, A Quiet Place: Day One, and Longlegs. The film's popularity is likely to continue throughout the holiday season, making it a must-see for horror fans.
The success of the Terrifier franchise is impressive, considering its humble beginnings. Art the Clown first appeared in Damien Leone's 2008 short film 9th Circle, which had a budget of only $3,000. The first feature-length movie, Terrifier, was released in 2016 with a budget of $38k, followed by Terrifier 2 in 2022 with a budget of $250k. And now, the third installment has left audiences on the edge of their seats, eagerly anticipating a fourth movie.
The film's popularity has even reached France, where it had a strong opening despite the ban. The French distributor, Bloody Disgusting, defended the film's violent and unrealistic nature, stating that it is a work of art in the tradition of the slasher genre. Fans have also been raving about the film on social media, with some even suggesting that it deserves awards for its unique and impressive achievements.
All in all, Terrifier 3's success has been unprecedented and has left Hollywood executives regretting their decision to not back the film. With its devoted fanbase and impressive box office figures, it's clear that the Terrifier franchise is here to stay. And who knows, we may even see a fourth installment in the near future.
