This weekend’s box office is a tale of two clowns, as Cineverse/Bloody Disgusting’s “Terrifier 3” has become a can’t-miss film for horror fans with a $18.3 million opening weekend from 2,514 theaters while Warner Bros.’ “Joker: Folie a Deux” has suffered one of the worst second weekend drops ever seen for a wide release.

Todd Phillips’ $190 million sequel to “Joker,” the first R-rated film to gross $1 billion worldwide, has fallen 81% from its $37.8 million opening weekend to just $7 million. According to data from Box Office Mojo and exhibitor sources, that will be the worst second weekend percentage drop for any wide release with an opening weekend of $30 million or more if it stands after Monday actuals are reported.
