There’s a new clown in charge at the box office. As Warner Bros.’ ‘Joker: Folie a Deux” is spiraling down the charts with a stunning 82% drop from its $37.8 million opening weekend, Cineverse/Bloody Disgusting’s “Terrifier 3” has parlayed the infamous Art the Clown’s growing fanbase into the horror series’ first No. 1 opening.

Released in 2,514 locations, “Terrifier 3” earned $8.1 million on its opening day, including $2.5 million from Thursday previews, putting it on track for a $16 million weekend. That blows past the entire $10.6 million theatrical run of “Terrifier 2” two years ago.

Even if the unrated horror film sees a significant second weekend drop between its limited audience and competition from Paramount’s “Smile 2,” “Terrifier 3” is already theatrically profitable given its paltry combined production and marketing spend of $2.5
