Top 10 box office hits: Terrifier 3 thrives while Joker 2 flops

It’s a wild weekend at the box office, and things aren’t looking great for the Joker. While Terrifier 3 is tearing up the indie horror scene, Joker 2—yes, the one with Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga—has hit a major snag with a shocking drop in ticket sales for its second week. Here’s your top 10 rundown of the box office, and spoiler alert: the clowns are battling it out, and one of them is not winning.

10. Speak No Evil – Starting up the top 10, this horror film adds another $1.5M to its box office total.

09. Nightmare Before Christmas – Jack Skellington is back, earning $2.1M in its re-release.

08. My Hero Academia: You’re Next – The anime juggernaut enters the scene with $3M in its opening weekend.

07. Saturday Night – In a stunning turnaround, this film skyrocketed with a 1200% increase, pulling in $4M.

06. Piece by Piece – This debut film managed to secure $3.5M, a decent start for a new entry.

05. Transformers One – with just $4.1M this weekend, it’s clear their time on top is coming to an end.

04. Joker: Folie à Deux – Here’s where it gets rough. Joker 2 suffered an 82% drop in its second weekend, pulling in just $6.7M-$7M. That’s the worst drop ever for a DC character movie.

03. Beetlejuice Beetlejuice – the film keeps slaying the box office in its sixth weekend, pulling in $7.3M.

02. The Wild Robot – DreamWorks’ animated robot adventure is still holding strong in its third weekend with $13.8M.

01. Terrifier 3 – This indie horror flick has slashed its way to the top with an impressive $17M-$18M in just three days. With only a $5M budget, this is the year’s biggest indie success story.
