Attention, movie buffs! Get ready for a thrilling weekend as “Terrifier 3” is looking to amaze us all. Churning up a storm in the movie industry, the humble, $2 million budget film is all set to have a massive rollout on more than 2500 screens. Let me tell you, this is HUGE for a movie with such a low budget.

Known Expectations Reduced to Scraps?

Initial estimates by Variety hinted at an opening of $13 million for ‘Terrifier 3’. But, hold your breath folks, because it seems like this terrorizing spectacle is on track to surprise us. Experts believe it isn’t going to stop at $13 million. It might just steam ahead and hit close to a whopping $20 million. If that happens, it’ll be something to remember.

A Dark Cloud over Joker’s Parade?

While “Terrifier 3” is enjoying the limelight, the news isn’t so sunny for “Joker: Folie à Deux”. Last week’s star is seemingly caught in a slump for its second weekend. Things don’t look too promising, with a 70 to 75% drop in ticket sales expected. Yep, you read it correctly. Some experts even predict that this weekend’s tally would plummet to a disappointing $9-11 million.

David vs Goliath: The Big Upset in the Making

These predictions, if realized, could mark “Terrifier 3” as one of the biggest movie upsets of 2024. Not bad for a third installment, huh? This seemingly unassuming movie may be the weekend’s #1. It’s even creating waves on Google Trends for movies, leaving bigger titles like ‘Joker 2’, ‘Venom: The Last Dance’, and ‘Smile 2’ trailing behind.

Fueling this crazy surge is the buzz of “Terrifier 3” possibly being the lowest-costing box-office topper since “Paranormal Activity” back in 2009. Now, that’s a feat to witness! Just to give you an idea, the closest recent instance was “The Purge” back in 2013, which was made on a $3.5 million budget.

Awaiting the Weekend

Will “Terrifier 3” reclaim its glory and show everyone the true power of low budget horror films? Well, we are all waiting with bated breath to find out. In the meantime, let’s sit tight and keep an eye on those Google Trends.

As fans, all we can do is wait and watch what unfolds this weekend. Whether “Terrifier 3” outshines everyone else or the “Joker: Folie à Deux” bounces back up remains to be seen. Whichever way it swings, it’s going to be a weekend charged with suspense for movie lovers.

So, get your popcorn ready and prepare to see the unexpected unfold before your eyes as cinema history might just be recreated this weekend. Excited, aren’t we all?
